Loosen Up

So I have been going to Physical Therapy for two weeks now, and there seems to be a theme to what my therapist is telling me. Here are some quotes:

1. Dear lord, and I thought I was tight!
2. We need to loosen you up!
3. Your neck is like a minefield of knots.

Each time my therapist says something like one of the quotes above, it really gets me thinking, are the problems I'm currently experiencing with my neck a metaphor for my life? Am I too tight? Do I need to loosen up? Am I a minefield of knots? Well, maybe not the last one, but really, what is my neck trying to tell me?
