What is Clinical Somatic Movement and How Can it Help to release stress and tension?
Clinical somatic movement is a specific method of mindful movement developed by Thomas Hanna to repattern the nervous system from identifiable stress responses in the body.
These responses are part of our nervous system’s survival mechanism, and when activated on the short term can support us to deal with the inevitable challenges of life.
However, when these body brain patterns become ingrained over time into how we hold tension in our bodies, then it starts to cause trouble.
Pain, difficulty breathing and emotional holding often becomes part of our everyday lives and impacts our quality of life.
We can become so habituated to living in these stress response patterns that we don’t recognize the imbalance, in fact it begins to feel “normal”. As a result, we don’t know how to get out of the patterns that keep us stuck in pain and discomfort.
That's where clinical somatic movement comes in!
With a specific slow and mindful body release, we start to become more aware of the tension that we are holding; not only in our bodies, but also in our breath and minds.
Little by little, with this intentional and gentle movement, along with slow and relaxed breathing, we begin to recognize and unwind these patterns.
We learn how we hold our stress, and how to come back into balance.
