The Body Remembers All: Acupuncture & Massage vs. Trauma

Writer's picture: Gail Lopez M.A.Gail Lopez M.A.

 

One of the most important things we can do for our health is to acknowledge the trauma we’ve experienced throughout our lives. Whether physical, emotional, or mental, these experiences shape us, and our bodies hold onto them in ways we may not realize. Even when we believe we’ve moved past certain challenges, our bodies keep a record—manifesting unresolved trauma such as pain, illness, tension, or emotional imbalances.

 

Massage and acupuncture, either separately or in combination, offer powerful tools to help release stored trauma, restore balance, and support overall well-being.

 

Western medicine primarily focuses on diagnosing and treating the physical symptoms of disease, often relying on pharmaceuticals, topical treatments, or other interventions to provide relief. While these methods are effective for many, they may not address the deeper, underlying causes of discomfort. This is where holistic healing comes into play—acknowledging the connection between mind, body, and spirit to promote true healing.

 

The body accumulates adhesions—knots of tension and pain—over time, often because of unresolved trauma. Massage therapy works to break up these adhesions, improve circulation, and release stored tension. Acupuncture, on the other hand, restores the flow of Qi (life energy), bringing harmony to the body's physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Together, these therapies create a state of homeostasis, allowing the body to function optimally and heal from within.

 

By addressing both the physical and energetic aspects of well-being, acupuncture and massage provide a holistic approach to healing, helping the body let go of what no longer serves it and creating space for renewal.
