Testimonials about Somatics from clients.
As a nurse case manager, I have referred many clients to [Clinical Somatics]. These people experienced chronic pain that modern medicine has been ineffective in treating. Every single client has come back to me and said that they are getting relief from their pain with somatic therapy.
I went to the Somatic Systems Institute in June, 2009. I have scoliosis, and have had back pain my entire life. After two sessions, I was pain free. AND I have remained pain free since then. I am amazed that this method of pain relief isn't more well known, it is simple to learn, easy to practice on a daily basis, and the difference is astonishing!!!!!
As a fitness professional, I see a lot of people moving on a daily basis. And one thing is readily apparent — pretty much everybody has a major limitation and most of the time they are not at all aware of it. We are aware of some of the symptoms that our learned postural patterns have caused, but in general we don’t know how to reclaim the freedom lost. Somatics is the number one solution to getting your freedom back. Anyone who is serious about being and moving free and healthy needs to do Somatics… period.

This series has been most helpful. [My Clinical Somatics Exercise class teacher] is very thorough and knowledgeable. She has a gentle, caring, generous way of helping us free our bodies.
Looking forward to more classes and the convention. I'm indebted to Thomas Hanna, Steve Aronstein, and [my Clinical Somatics teacher].
Much love,
I feel great after every class. When I'm careful — as [our class teacher] tells me to be — the benefits can sometimes last all week.
In a very short period of time, Somatics has dramatically improved the quality of my life. [Somatics] can help people understand how to alleviate chronically contracted muscles that cause them pain — it's as simple as that. People can do this for themselves each day, like I do, if they learn how to do Somatic Exercises...
I'm writing to thank you once more for introducing me to Clinical Somatics. For years I've had aching hips, which I attributed to the wear and tear of aging. Little did I realize that by standing and walking as I did I was unconsciously exacerbating the problem, and, in fact, causing it. Now, after taking your class and practicing somatic exercises, I get up in the morning, walk two miles, and have no pain whatsoever.
Somatics has revolutionized the way I move. I feel so much more freedom in my neck, shoulders, waist. There's a “fluidity” to my joints. I am beginning to be able to sense my body, to understand it, to move with it, to “get out of its way”! And it's a wonderful self-corrective, empowering thing.
[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.
