Trunk Problems

The trunk is the centre. Not the periphery, not the extremities, not what you show to the outside — but what holds everything together. Here your organs sit, here your heart beats, here your diaphragm breathes, here you digest. The trunk is what remains when you take away arms and legs, head and face. It is the core. Your innermost in the most literal sense.

When this area creates problems — pain, tension, inflammation, restricted movement — it is not about an arbitrary body part. It is about the place where you are most vulnerable. The place you protect when danger threatens. The place you instinctively hide when you feel ashamed.

Trunk problems are rarely trivial. They show that something is wrong at the foundation — not at the surface, but where you carry yourself. Or no longer carry yourself.
