Clinical Somatics Testimonials

“[Somatics] heals pain in a non-intrusive and gentle way. Truly a holistic mode of treatment, Somatics also has offered me the opportunity to develop a more compassionate relationship with my body. I always leave our sessions with exercises to do at home. And they REALLY work. I have recommended [Somatics] to many of my clients who have needed an intervention on the physical level.”

“At Age 92, [Somatics] taught me how to walk again; what more beautiful gift is there to give.”

“I couldnít believe that in a few hours [my Clinical Somatic Educationô practitioner] showed me how to relieve the pain that I had spent hundreds of hours with physical therapists trying to exercise away! My posture and sense of well-being improved so much that people told me how great I looked and even asked me if I had lost weight! I recommend [Clinical Somatic Education] to everyone I meet who has chronic pain from an injury or an illness.”

“[Somatics] opened up a new world for me; one that was inside me the whole time. [Somatics] taught me that stretching and strengthening is not always the right approach to treating chronically sore muscles. Now, I routinely calm painful muscle spasms with meditation and slow, thoughtful Somatic movements.”

“[Somatics is] a perfect match for me. My years of headaches are truly a thing of the past..”

“Within a few sessions I noticed incredible improvements. My muscles were not contracting continuously. Stiffness disappeared, and I began to straighten up. After 4 sessions I am walking straight. I do my exercises once or twice a day. The amount of medication I now take has decreased dramatically. After each session I have been making miraculous improvements. I still have a little ways to go, but am so happy to walk straight and have my mobility back”

“Being educated as a Physical Therapist I anticipated acquiring the knowledge and skills to treat people with physical disabilities and symptoms. I realized prior to my graduation that was not even close to being the case. I spent the next eight years attending courses. I did a tremendous amount of self-guided study at home. I also organized seven courses at the hospital I was employed at, and brought in experts to teach. My skills did grow and my success with patients increased.

“After surviving cancer and the debilitating surgeries that would save my life, I had almost given up hope of regaining flexibility and pain-free movement. Somatic education has restored my hope and freedom of movement.”

“As a neurologist I frequently see people who are suffering from chronic pain, which limits their movement, therefore further increasing their pain and their need for pain-killers. [Clinical Somatic Education
