Stiff man syndrome – holistic support
Stiff man syndrome (also known as stiff person syndrome) is a rare neurological autoimmune disease that causes muscle stiffness, cramps and hypersensitivity to stimuli and stress. Conventional medicine offers medication to alleviate symptoms – but the cause often remains hidden.
Holistic view
In holistic medicine, we view people as a unity of body, mind and soul. Symptoms such as chronic muscle tension can also be an expression of emotional or mental stress.
Typical questions in holistic support:
– What am I (unconsciously) holding on to in life?
– Where is the inner or outer space for movement missing?
– How can I sustainably calm my nervous system?
Holistic therapy approaches:
– Emotional support: trauma work, body psychotherapy, mindfulness
– Intestinal health & nutrition: Anti-inflammatory, individually adapted
– Detoxification & elimination: liver and lymphatic support, accompanied by naturopathy
– Nutrient therapy: magnesium, B vitamins, GABA, omega-3
– Energetic methods: Reiki, meditation, breath work, chakra balancing
Conclusion: Root cause treatment on all levels
Root cause treatment happens on many levels. Holistic support can help not only to alleviate symptoms, but also to recognize the deeper causes – and to find new ways to inner mobility and quality of life.
