🌟 In this special bonus episode, we dive into a side of pain that often gets overlooked: spiritual pain. In the last bonus, we explored the somatic and mechanical layers of pain, but today, we’re peeling back the layers even further. 💫

🔍 You might be asking yourself: What does spirituality have to do with pain? How can you tell when your pain is spiritual, and what are the signs? 🤔

I’ll share with you how I stumbled upon spiritual pain and how it found me when I least expected it. My journey began with a focus on the mechanical—posture, overuse, tight muscles. It was what I knew best and felt most confident treating, especially in a world where athletes needed immediate, tangible results. 🏀💪

As I grew as a therapist, I gently ventured into the somatic—the emotional roots of pain. It was delicate work, especially in a professional sports world that shied away from emotions and energy. I introduced these concepts subtly, letting clients uncover for themselves that their pain was more than physical. 🧠💔 And it worked.

But then, something changed. The spiritual side of pain appeared, and this was a whole new ballgame. 🌀

🎙️ In this episode, I’ll help you understand:

• The difference between somatic and spiritual pain.
• How to tune in and recognize what type of pain you’re experiencing.
• Questions to ask yourself to dig deeper into your pain’s roots. 🌱

If your hips feel tight all the time — not injured, not broken, just never fully at ease — this episode might feel uncomfortably familiar.

In this session of Deep Tissue Talks, Doris Martel brings you inside a quiet, intimate treatment with an NBA player who comes in with a simple concern: “My hips are always tight.”

Not painful. Not limiting. Just always there.

Through slow, attentive manual work on the hip flexors and deep rotators, combined with breath and somatic inquiry, this episode explores what chronic hip tension can really mean — especially in bodies that never stop moving, planning, or carrying responsibility.

You’ll hear how:

• Hip tightness can show up most strongly when the body finally stops
• The psoas and deep hip muscles often hold vigilance, not weakness
• Breath changes reveal more than words
• Guilt around rest can live deep in the pelvis
• Softening isn’t about losing edge — it’s about restoring trust

This episode isn’t about flexibility or performance metrics. It’s about learning how to power down — just enough — to feel safe again.

If you’ve ever felt like your body doesn’t know how to rest… if stillness feels unfamiliar or even uncomfortable… this conversation may offer a mirror.

As always, if you’re dealing with ongoing tension or pain, consider reaching out to a licensed massage therapist, physical therapist, or a mental health professional trained in somatic approaches. Support can make the difference.

The Neck That Carried Perfection

What happens when precision turns into pressure… and the body starts holding its breath?

In this episode of Deep Tissue Talks, Doris Martel takes you inside a treatment session with a figure skater dealing with persistent neck and shoulder tightness — a tension rooted not only in biomechanics, but in the quiet demand to never make a mistake.

Through hands-on manual therapy, fascial work along the arm–shoulder–neck chain, breath, and somatic exploration, this episode reveals how control, vigilance, and perfectionism can live in the body — and how release begins when safety replaces pressure.

You’ll discover:

• Why neck and shoulder pain is rarely just mechanical

• How arm and hand tension can silently overload the upper trapezius

• What precision sports teach us about control and fear of mistakes

• Why true performance doesn’t come from holding on tighter

• How presence creates freedom, fluidity, and confidence

This episode is for anyone who:

• Carries responsibility in their shoulders

• Feels tension even when they’re “resting”

• Strives for excellence but forgets to soften

• Wants to understand the deeper message behind physical pain

If you’re experiencing recurring pain or tension, consider reaching out to a licensed massage therapist, physical therapist, or a mental health professional trained in somatic approaches. Healing often happens faster when you’re supported.

Because healing doesn’t start with force. It starts with safety.

In this episode of Deep Tissue Talks, Doris Martel dives into the story of a man in his mid-50s — an executive, husband, father, and semi-professional pickleball player — whose right calf has started whispering pain again.

What begins as “just tightness” unfolds into a powerful exploration of the three layers of pain:

• Biomechanical — old compensation patterns from a past calf strain, tight plantar fascia, overworked hamstrings, and a protective nervous system.

• Somatic — the emotional weight of carrying work, family responsibilities, aging, and performance pressure all at once.

• Spiritual — the deeper truth that sometimes we move faster than our spirit can keep up.

Through detailed hands-on work above and below the calf, fascial decompression, breathwork, and somatic inquiry, this episode reveals how the body holds stories of survival — and how it releases when it finally feels safe.

You’ll hear how one man realized he didn’t need to outrun his life… he simply needed to move with it.

This episode is for anyone who pushes themselves, anyone who carries too much, anyone whose body is asking for permission to slow down.

If you’re experiencing persistent tightness, recurring tension, or pain that keeps returning, consider reaching out to a licensed massage therapist, physical therapist, or a psychologist trained in somatic pain.

Support exists and your body deserves it.

In this episode, Doris Martel takes us inside the treatment room with a professional soccer player carrying a familiar fear: his right quadriceps is tight, heavy, constantly loaded… and he can't afford to miss a single game.

Through detailed hands-on work, fascial assessment, breath, and somatic dialogue, this session reveals the deeper story behind chronic quad tightness — a story of pressure, survival mode, and the silent belief many athletes carry: “If I slow down, I disappear.”

You’ll learn: • Why quadriceps tighten even without an injury • How the nervous system “braces” before any real damage happens • The meaning behind tight quads — force, control, and inherited beliefs • How fear of losing position keeps the body in constant protection • The exact moment an athlete realizes he doesn’t have to play scared • How shaking, breathwork, and myofascial release reset the entire system

This episode is a reminder that the body doesn’t tighten to sabotage us — it tightens to protect what matters most.

If your quads always feel heavy… if your legs never fully rest… this story might speak to you.

💛 Share this episode with someone who feels pressure to stay strong at all costs.

Because healing doesn’t begin with force — it begins with safety.
