Private Hanna Somatic Sessions


Private, individual sessions are ideal for those who have more extreme pain or tightness, or who want fast results. Although private sessions involve hands-on work by the practitioner, the client is also actively involved. The client lies on a low table, fully clothed, as the Hanna Somatic Practitioner focuses on one muscle/joint region after another, releasing each with the clients active involvement. Initial sessions tend to focus on releasing a particular pattern of muscle holdings. Generally, pain is relieved in five sessions or less.


The first session typically focuses on releasing tight muscles at the core of the body: the muscles connecting the vertabrae of the spine, the muscles restricting comfortable shoulder movement, and tight gluteus muscles which restrict the movement of the hips.





A session may focus on releasing the tight muscles on the side of the body causing scoliosis, sciatica, a limp, one leg longer/shorter than the other, or a posture slanting to one side or another.




A session may focus on releasing tight muscles being held by the front of the body that restrict breathing, cause digestive problems, and cause the shoulders to slouch forward.




Generally, a series of sessions begin by releasing the muscles at the core of the body, and then working towards the periphery.

The first session lasts 1 ½ Hours, and includes an evaluation, an explanation of the work, the client being actively involved in releasing the muscles, and learning a brief movement routine that will reinforce the work and keep the client pain free. Thereafter, sessions will last an hour.
