Hanna Somatics eliminates chronic muscular pain caused by Sensory Motor Amnesia.  Sensory Motor Amnesia (SMA) is at the root of most pain.  SMA defines our posture and limits how much we can feel; how freely we can move; how deeply we can breathe; and how comfortable we are.   It is a malfunction in the central nervous system wherein the unconscious muscle tightening that occurs with stress, anxiety, trauma, or injury becomes stuck in an involuntary contraction.  Most of us don’t notice these limitations … until we experience pain.

The chronic muscular pain caused by SMA is usually diagnosed as a structural problem requiring long-term treatment, physical therapy, surgery, or pain medication, none of which will provide lasting relief.  Sensory Motor Amnesia is a functional problem that can be corrected only by relearning how to feel the muscle(s). The brain controls the muscles, and if you no longer move freely and comfortably, your brain has forgotten how to relax your muscle(s).  

There is no stretching or force involved in Hanna Somatics.  Hanna Somatic sessions restore function to your muscles through the unique method of pandiculation.   Hanna Somatic workshops relieve the chronic muscular contraction patterns of stress, anxiety and injury.
