Clinical Somatics
Clinical Somatic treatment engages the nervous system using an active learning process to help relax muscles and ease pain. First developed by Thomas Hanna, PhD, this process involves slow, focused and gentle movements known as neuromuscular retraining. Clinical Somatic is a direct way to get rid of pain, tension and poor posture caused by sensory motor amnesia.
Why Clinical Somatics?
Somatics describes any practice that uses the mind-body connection to help you survey your internal self and listen to signals your body sends about areas of pain, discomfort, or imbalance.
Conditions
Treated
Clinical Somatic relaxes muscles that contribute to pain and tension, allowing you to move past something called Sensory Motor Amnesia, a major contributor to chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
Our
Procedure
We will use more physical approaches to treatment, including relaxation techniques and meditative or breathing exercises, along with traditional talk therapy. The goal of somatic therapy is to help you notice the physical responses brought up by memories of traumatic experiences.
Why Choose Clinical Somatics?
Most chronic pain, joint degeneration, and recurring injuries are caused by the way we use our bodies – the way we sit, stand, and move throughout our lives. And our nervous system is responsible for telling us how to use our bodies. Our nervous system tells us which muscles to contract, when to release them, and how to hold our bodies when we’re just sitting or standing still. Clinical Somatics engages the nervous system in an active learning process that consists of very slow, focused, conscious movements. The movement techniques used in Clinical Somatics teach the nervous system how to release chronic muscle tension and stand and move in natural, efficient ways so that you aren’t putting yourself in pain or doing damage to your body. You are requested to be fully dressed.
