The end of summer and the start of the school year is an intense time for many families. Early wake-ups, traffic on the way to school, organizing extracurricular activities, and work responsibilities keep parents running on full speed from dawn to dusk. It’s no surprise the body quickly responds with tension.
Stress and muscle tension
Stress doesn’t just stay in the mind – it settles in the body. The most common symptoms include:
neck and shoulder pain,
lower back tension,
headaches,
stiffness in the upper back.
Parents who are constantly “managing everything” rarely take a moment for themselves. Yet regular relaxation of tension is what makes it easier to handle everyday challenges.
How physiotherapy and massage help
At Touch Balance Physiotherapy in Krakow, we combine techniques that help you regain balance:
relaxing and therapeutic massage,
manual therapy for neck and back tension,
breathing and relaxation exercises you can also do at home.
Regular visits bring more than just pain relief – they support recovery, reduce stress, and improve both physical and mental wellbeing.
Give yourself permission to pause
Your child already has a timetable. Now it’s time for you to add something for yourself to the calendar. Even one hour a week dedicated to massage or therapy can make it much easier to cope with daily stress and responsibilities.
