Your Body Is Speaking

Your legs carry you through life. They move you forward, they keep you in motion, they give you the ability to move toward something — or away from something. When they hurt, grow heavy, swell, tingle, or refuse their service, this is more than a muscular or vascular problem. It is a statement about how you move through your life.

Medicine knows countless causes for leg complaints: circulatory disorders, nerve damage, venous insufficiency, joint problems, muscle conditions. All of this is real and deserves attention. But the psychosomatic perspective asks an additional question: why is the movement halting? Why do the legs grow heavy, stiff, painful — precisely those parts of the body that are made to move you forward?
