That familiar idiom could be closer to the truth than you think.Langellotti Tri-Therapy (LT therapy) is based on the theory that your emotions are stored up in your muscles and can in fact cause pain in your back, shoulders and neck. Sophia Kupse, the founder of LT therapy, believes the mind and body are so interconnected that painful memories can be translated directly into physical pain. “When people get aches and pains, we generally look for a physical reason. But X-rays and scans don’t show emotional pain,” she says, explaining that 80 per cent of her clients are not suffering as a result of physical trauma, but rather from a build-up of emotional stress sustained over a period of time. “When the doctor says, ‘I can’t find anything wrong with you, so let’s put it down to wear and tear’, it’s very frustrating, because I’ve got 15-year-old and 25-year-olds, who are too young to get wear and tear. “The human body is physically built to do endless hours of exercise. And the brain is a computer that’s running your body, so whatever programme you’re running in your head will create your physicality and wellbeing.” Sophie first developed her method after treating her mother’s long-term back problem. Her theory is based on Eastern and Western medicine principals. She combines volcanic heat, ice marble and a map drawing on Eastern medicine’s concept of Yin and Yang when treating patients. Her self-help book ‘Desperately Seeking A Pain Free Self’ explains how an individual’s history – from childhood to the present day – has a direct affect on physical back pain as well as overall wellbeing. The book gives guidance on how to recover from emotional traumas from the past in order to release acute and chronic neck shoulder and back pain. She says: “The upper back is controlled by the conscious mind – your adult side, and the lower back is your subconscious brain – your inner child, and it’s about showing people that your lower back, which is your foundations, your roots and your childhood, can hold onto negative memory in the muscle memory. “I can identify blockages in certain muscles which reflect a time period – whether they were bullied at school, had a very difficult childhood, or in their 20s suffered personal loss.” Desperately Seeking A Pain Free Self by Sophia Kupse is available on Amazon. features@7days.ae Read the original story at: Book links muscle aches to emotions
