SOMATICS
Pain Relief
through Movement
Somatic Fundamentals Immersion
FIRST TIME IN NEW ZEALAND
Workshop Auckland April 21 and 22
If you have “tried everything” to relieve your back, neck, shoulder, or hip pain for the long term and have only experienced short term relief (or none at all), then this course is for you! Eliminating muscle pain, stiffness, and the feeling of ‘getting old” starts with the brain. Trauma, stress, and postural compensations change the way the brain senses and moves us, and how we experience ourselves on a physical and emotional level. Clinical Somatics teaches you to restore fluid, effortless, and joyful movement – on your own, wherever you are and whenever you need it. Come and learn to be more present and comfortable in your body and in your life.
This introductory course is for anyone with an interest in learning about or seeking to deepen their understanding of Clinical Somatics for their own personal education and exploration. No prior experience or training is required to participate.
This course is a comprehensive introduction to the core principles of Clinical Somatics: the science, philosophy, techniques, and Somatic Movements. Come and learn:
-
How Sensory Motor Amnesia contributes to most chronic muscle pain
-
How three universal stress reflexes affect our daily lives, mentally, emotionally and physically
-
The benefits of pandiculation vs. stretching
-
How to apply the movements, principles, and concepts of Hanna Somatics to your life
-
A basic routine of Somatic Movements that will result in renewed muscle control and freedom of movement
-
And more…
If you are seeking a long-term solution to pain relief, want to regain your freedom of movement, or are simply looking for answers, then this course is for you. It's never too late to learn to live your life pain-free!
You will be led through Somatic Movements to explore your own movement areas of Sensory Motor Amnesia. You will learn a basic routine of Somatic Movements that can be practiced daily in order to restore muscle function and somatic awareness. We will explore the technique of pandiculation, a powerful technique that restores sensory and motor function.
Participants will receive a free digital download of our Pain Relief Through Movement audio CD and all appropriate learning materials.
This course is also appropriate for those in the movement or bodywork field: fitness trainers, physical therapists, massage therapists, or anyone seeking to learn how to incorporate Somatic principles into their primary practice - or their life!
