This framing around emotional and physical pain sharing the same neural pathways is spot-on. I'd dealt with chronic shoulder tension for years and didn't realize until doing somatic work how much unprocessed stress was lodged there. The practitioner I worked wtih actually mapped out the feedback loop, how my nervous system kept retriggering that tightness even after the initial injury healed. What made the difference was understanding that it wasnt just physical therapy I needed but repatterning how my body responded to stress altogether.
