Fractures and body language

Only those who have had a fracture, that is, have broken a bone, know how painful this is and how long and tiring recovery can be... fracture? And those causes are emotional!

According to a theory called Body Language, developed by author Cristina Cairo, all our emotions, our feelings and our thoughts have an impact on our body, helping or harming its functioning.


And this is no different with fractures, because some situations in our lives can “weaken” the bones, making them more vulnerable to fractures, which can be quite dangerous. So, understand how our emotional can cause fractures and how each bone is vulnerable to them. Check out!


Fractures and body language

According to Cristina Cairo and Linguagem do Corpo, bone fractures are related to the way we relate to our parents or our children, because they represent a breach of authority, usually a consequence of feelings of anger and rebellion.

When they happen to children, according to Cairo, parents need to turn to themselves and analyze their behavior, which may be causing these feelings of rebelliousness and anger in children.

If the fracture is on the right side, according to her, it indicates parental resentment towards a woman; and, with men, if the fracture is on the left side of the body. According to Cairo, children up to seven years old are more emotionally influenced by their mother, while children aged seven to fourteen are more influenced by their father.

Symbology of fractured parts

Fractures in different parts of the body have different meanings, because each part of our body relates differently to our emotions. In this way, check out the influence that relationships with our parents or the way we behave with parents influence different types of fractures:


Head: there is a conflicted relationship with stubborn and rational parents and with little room for subjectivity. In addition, they are hard-headed and perfectionists, being quite demanding and setting very high standards for their children. They are parents who do not bow before authorities.

Arms: parents are figures who make sudden breaks with some authority figure or who are not afraid to break away from situations that limit their work and ambition, being, at times, somewhat reckless.

Hands: characteristics similar to those mentioned above, in fractures in the arms, but with the addition that here there is a great attention and influence of details, especially in the development of business and day-to-day tasks.

Fingers: each fractured finger is influenced by a different emotion. Check out what they are:

Little finger (little finger): disharmony and frustration in the family environment;

Ring finger: disharmonies in affective relationships, such as between couples;

Pointer finger: accusing parents who blame their own children for the sufferings that afflict them;

Thumb: exactly the same meaning as head fracture (see first topic);


Toes: exactly the same meanings as fingers, but in relation to the future, including problems with anxiety.

Hips: parents who lack emotional stability, who make bad decisions and repress emotional pain caused by authority figures in their own lives.
