Somatic Therapies in Nantucket, MA
What is Somatics?
Somatic movement education is a method developed by Thomas Hanna that addresses the connection between your brain and body. Your brain can lose conscious control over your muscles due to injuries, surgeries, stress or repetitive movements. This can lead to an unconscious, involuntary contraction of the muscles called Sensory Motor Amnesia(SMA). Somatics teaches you a slow, pain free technique called pandiculation which frees the contracted muscles and with practice can return you to a more functional, pain free lifestyle.
The benefits are not only physical; Somatics can improve sleep, decrease stress and improve mobility. The goal is to improve how you and your nervous system feel.
