Shoulders an emotional stress reservoir

When stress presses
on the shoulders

Our shoulders are true all-rounders and an emotional stress reservoir – they not only carry the weight of everyday life, but also absorb a lot of emotional and physical stress. The shoulders are an emotional stress store: especially in stressful times, we tend to unconsciously store emotions, thoughts or physical experiences in the shoulders, which can lead to tension and even chronic pain.

But there are ways to relieve this pressure. Pilates releases the burden and strengthens the psyche. With its targeted mix of breathing, stretching and strength, Pilates is an effective method of releasing tension and restoring balance to your well-being.

How the
shoulder becomes
a stress memory

The weight you carry on your shoulders is the result of persistent psychological stress. Therapists refer to shoulders as “emotional stress reservoirs”. The phenomenon is well known to doctors: Under stress, the brain sends impulses to the shoulder muscles and the back. They increase resilience, stability and alertness. The problem: if the stress does not subside, this signal becomes a permanent condition – tension becomes tension.

Wow-effect
for your shoulders

Give your shoulders new lightness and increase your well-being with an effective Pilates workout. It allows you to strengthen your shoulders, reduce tension and improve your flexibility. The Pilates Tower Unit workout in particular helps you to release all the weight from the tension of the springs and achieve a healthy, stable posture.

Pilates creates
relaxation and
mental relief


How to get rid of shoulder tension? Bench presses are logically not useful for persistent shoulder pain. Pilates relieves the tension by slowing down and harmoniously training the whole body. Based on the principles of control and concentration, inner centering and breathing techniques as well as precision of movement flow. Pilates equipment training gently stretches and strengthens the shoulders and promotes their mobility with spring resistance. Exercise sequences with the neck roll or shoulder mobilization exercises in Pilates Tower Unit Training are recommended here, for example.

Pilates also takes into account the connection between body and mind – stuck emotions, which are often stored as muscular tension, can be released through deep stretching and mindful movement with the help of spring resistance. This makes the training not only a physical but also an emotional release.
