Have you got muscular pain?

Somatics comes fromt he Greek word Soma and in its essence measn your internal awareness. Not many of us ever stop to experience what it feels like to be us from the inside until you have pain.

Somatic Movement is considered a form of education is it is a method or modality used to re-train or nervous system to control our musculoskeltal system properly and with control.

 

Everyday patterns of movement whether its work, hobbies or even stress, detemine how we use our bodies. When this becomes a habit that we form, our nervous system slowly begins to 'forget' how to fully relax out of this patterns and tension is formed. Over time this tension builds and affects how we move and how we feel, sometimes leading to pain and discomfort, inabiliity to deal with stress or a reduced and limited range of movement.

 

Somatics helps you to restore the length back in to these over contracted muscles, allowing you to re-learn how to relax and let go, alleviate stress and restore your mobility. This ultimatley helps you to also dissolve any muscular pain you are experiencing.

 

* always contact a Dr or medical professional if you think you need it as wel as Somatics deals with muscular pain only.

Both classes and clinical sessions are useful to address the pain you are experiencing. I have written more about clinical sessions in the tab above to provide you with more information of what to expect within an appointment, as these are tailored to your needs and movement pattern. Clinicals are good to start relieving pain and really understand what is going on for you and get you to place of comfort.
