4. Physical Strain
A lot can be said for mental stress and how it affects the body, but just as much can be said for physical strain and what it can do to the rest of the body. Learn to always listen to your body and make sure that you know when to make the necessary adaptations to what you’re doing, including when you should cut down on physical stress.
Any type of physical strain that you put your body through can affect other parts of your body – and the same is considered to be true if you’ve been diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder or a condition such as a scleroderma.
If you’ve been diagnosed with the condition, any form of physical strain, injury, or repeated stress on a certain area can be enough to trigger it into motion – and you should make an appointment with your doctor should you notice this happening at all.
