Living Pain Free

This is an excerpt off the Somatics web site (see left menu)

Living with pain?

This is a way to end the pain cycle:Living indefinitely with pain from injuries and aging, losing your mobility, and possibly losing your independence may be among your hidden fears. But it needn't be that way.

Injuries trigger muscular reflexes that rob you of control of your own muscles and cause pain and stiffness; you tighten up; you lose the ability to relax reflexively tight muscles and forget what free movement feels like.

Without retraining, you may stay that way indefinitely.

Happily, you possess the ability to recapture your freedom of movement and physical comfort -- in athletics and recreation, in your work, and in the bedroom - in short, in any situation where you need free and easy movement to run a mile, swing a tennis racquet, bend and lift a heavy box, get into a sports car or move gracefully from position to position.

What's lacking in most therapeutic approaches is a direct way for you to unlock your own muscular tension and stay free.

Until now.

The key to recovery is your brain - not the thinking mind, but the brain as master control center for your muscles. Through the brain-muscle training techniques of clinical somatic education, you recapture control of tight muscles from those muscular reflexes, and those muscles relax. You regain your freedom of movement and physical comfort.

If you are suffering from neuromuscular pain of any kind I highly recommend seeing a Hanna Somatic Educator.

I have personally seen hundreds of clients most of whom were pain free after only 3 sessions. I have only seen a handful of clients more than 3 times.

One of my clients was a physiotherapist who had a practice in Smithers BC. After seeing 17 other health care professionals he was starting to feel he could not resolve his pain issues. After 3-4 sessions he was pain-free and a few months later quit his physiotherapy practice. He is now living in California doing Somatics full time and training others.

I just met another client last month who I hadn't seen for about 10 years. She came to me with whiplash after a logging truck dumped its load on her as it came around a blind corner.

I asked her how she was and she reported no pain since those 3-4 sessions 10 years ago.

The problem with this re-education is that it works! No repeat clients! :)
