About Somatics Movement Therapy

Somatics is very effective in teaching the muscles and the mind to release tension and is successful in getting rid of pain. When the body is in pain there is an internal tightening that can distort a natural and aligned posture often resulting in increased pain in the body.

Teaching the muscles how to release tension will release the pain.

Session Details

• Each session starts with a check in verbally and a body scan whilst standing. This is a bench mark for guiding you to get what you need most from the session.

• The diaphragm is the muscle necessary to activate the calming influence of the Parasympathetic nervous system. As such belly breathing is taught from the start see video

• Clients are invited to lie on the somatic couch or the floor, on top of an infra red heat mat which helps the muscles to release tension.

• Exercises are introduced with Carol's soothing voice, helping you to teach muscles how to tense and then consciously release NB; it is in the mindful release of tension that pain is reduced in the body. At the end of the exercises there is always a deep progressive style relaxation with a visualisation of light flowing freely in the body.

• A plan is then formulated with the client based on what they need to work on. Audio instructions are sent via whats app or email to clients.

• At the end of the session there is another standing body scan in order to feel any differences. Often this can surprise a client to see and feel how much difference one session can make in postural alignment and a feeling of freedom in movement.
