RESEARCH
 This research explores the relationship between childhood trauma and spinal development. Through literature review, somatic observation, and cross-disciplinary synthesis, it examines how early psychological trauma may affect spinal health via physiological, psychological, and behavioral pathways. The findings suggest that trauma can manifest as “frozen memories” within the body, altering posture and muscle tension. The project emphasizes the spine as a living archive of emotional experience and advocates for trauma-informed perspectives in physical and mental health care.
