Clinical Somatics – could it be the answer to your chronic pain?

Level B2-C1

Do you have back pain, a painful knee or a frozen shoulder that won’t heal? Your doctor has probably sent you for x-rays, an ultrasound or an MRI, but there’s nothing to see. Where is your pain coming from and, more importantly, how can you stop it?

Chronic pain and degeneration to our joints can be caused by how we use our bodies. Yes, the way you sit, stand and walk can be the reason behind your pain! But your body doesn’t move by itself – your nervous system, which is simply your brain and nerves, controls your body. The brain tells you which muscles to contract, when you must release them and how to stand or sit. Your brain is in charge. When you learn a new skill, like sitting, walking, playing football or a musical instrument, your nervous system creates a pathway between your brain and your muscles so that the movements become automatic. Do you remember when you first learnt to drive? You had to think about your feet on the pedals and which gear to use. Now you do it automatically. That skill has become automated because the more you repeat a certain posture or movement, the more your brain and muscles ‘remember’ it. This is called muscle memory.

When muscle memory works well, it is a wonderful thing because it makes life easier for you. But sometimes muscle memory goes haywire and that’s when the problems start. Your nervous system will remember efficient patterns of movement if you repeat them enough times, but it will remember the bad patterns if you repeat them too. So, if you sit in front of the computer with a bad posture every day, your brain will remember that, and you will eventually start to have pain from sitting badly. What’s the solution? You must re-educate your nervous system to change the bad muscle memory. But how? 

Somatics is the perfect tool for retraining your brain. It teaches your nervous system how to make your body move, sit and stand properly by using very slow, conscious movements. These Somatic movements teach your nervous system how to release chronic muscle tension and how to move in natural and efficient ways. Somatics is basically a reset for your nervous system and body that will help you to avoid damage and chronic pain. Go on, push that reset button and restore your body to its ‘factory settings’!
