What kind of conditions does CSE resolve or relieve?

CSE does not diagnose “disease” conditions. Instead, practitioners are trained to identify patterns of muscular tension that correspond to patterns of pain and/or movement dysfunctions. That being said, many of our clients come to us with some type of diagnosis from a physical therapist, chiropractor, or physician, so we've provided a list of the most common ailments we've worked with in the past. If you don't see your diagnosis on the list, please feel free to contact us and ask one of our staff members to see if Clinical Somatic Education can help you!

How is this different than chiropractic?

Traditional chiropractic works to improve skeletal alignment and joint mobility to reduce pain and improve function. There are also chiropractic “mixers” who recognize the effects of emotional state and nutrition on overall health, and incorporate that approach in to their sessions.

How does Clinical Somatic Education work?

Your brain controls all voluntary movement in your body. That means that as you read this, the movement of your eyes, the position you are sitting in, and the position of your hand on the mouse are all being monitored by nerves sending constant messages to your brain, then reporting back to control your eyes, hands, and the rest of your body.

Does insurance cover Clinical Somatic Education sessions?

We have found that insurance companies will cover CSE sessions on a case by case basis. Our current policy is therefore to collect payment at the time of your session, and provide any paperwork or other information that will allow you to file for a reimbursement. You can also ask your doctor for a referral, which can often help in attaining reimbursement or even full coverage.

If you'd like more information, please call your insurance and inquire about whether they cover neuromuscular or movement therapy as a part of your policy.

How much do sessions cost?

Sessions with a fully certified practitioner can cost between between $100 and $200 per hour. The first session, which includes a full medical intake, assessment, and table-work, generally lasts 1.5 hours and can total between $150 and $250.

Sessions with Clinical Interns are offered at a reduced rate which is based on their year of completion in the Training Program. If you are interested in working with a Clinical Intern, please ask a staff member if one is available.

What are the qualifications of a Clinical Somatic Educator?

Certified practitioners have undergone a three-yearr training with Somatic Systems Institute that includes anatomy, functional and structural kinesiology (the study of movement from within/experientially and from outside/objectively), physical evaluation, neurophysiology, and practical techniques.
