Hanna Somatics Testimonials

"I've had chronic back problems/pain for four years and I regularly see what I believe to be the best physical therapist in the Boston area. Four months ago I attended a 4 hour Somatic Workshop conducted by Noreen Owens. I was guided through six basic movements at this session that were designed to relax my lower back and related hip, shoulders and neck muscles. I continued doing the exercises twice a day and saw my physical therapist two weeks later. He was amazed at how much flexibility and strength I had gained in my lower back and hips. I have incorporated Noreen's Somatic exercises into my daily routine ever since. She is a great teacher and the process works."

"I had chronic back and neck pain for years, since 1968, and after learning, and using the simple Hanna Somatics exercises that Noreen taught me, I have virtually eliminated the pain. Somatics daily, especially before and after exercising has been most productive for me. When incidents of pain occur, usually after neglecting my Somatics, simply doing them reduces the pain and speeds recovery. I highly recommend Hanna Somatics for everyone."

I have virtually eliminated the pain.

"I've had lower back problems for twenty years, with back spasms more frequent and painful over the last three years. Recent x-rays showed osteoarthritis throughout my spine. I've also had ankle pain for eight years, making it difficult to stand up or walk for an extended period of time. An MD told me I should have an operation to correct the ankle problem, but there were no guarantees it would improve my condition. I decided not to have the operation. Over the last several years I tried many approaches to alleviate my back and ankle problems - physical therapy, several chiropractors, and acupuncture. None of these offered any measurable degree of improvement. Three months ago a friend suggested I try Somatics, something I had never heard of before. Although I did not go to my first session with Noreen Owens with a negative attitude, I definitely had the thought in the back of my mind this was going to be another dead end street. After my first session I noticed some relief and improvement, but I still thought it would be temporary, which it was. The following day I started doing the exercises, and then I did them the next day, and the day after that. To my complete and utter amazement things started to improve - less pain in both my ankle and back. I continued on with three more sessions with Noreen, and did my Hanna Somatics faithfully everyday. I have not experienced pain in my back or ankle for more than six weeks. I recently traveled out west by car for ten days, covering close to 2000 miles. I experienced no pain. Before Somatics I would never have even considered doing this. Today I spent six hours on my feet painting a house, climbing a ladder and doing other activities that involved lifting, bending, etc. Tonight I am sitting here typing this testimonial tired from all the physical work, but FREE of any PAIN whatsoever. I'm still in awe of the results I've experienced. I encourage everyone to take the Somatic approach not only to improve health problems, but also as a preventative measure. Introduce it into your life and experience some incredibly positive results."

"My experience with Noreen Owen's Somatic Workshop Series and individual sessions was phenomenal and somewhat unbelievable. Initially, I went to the workshop out of curiosity and with the "how-could-such-simple-movements-be-so-effective" attitude, but when my hip pain and sciatica were relieved, the "aha and wow" set in, and I continued with three more private sessions. Noreen is very gentle and powerful at the same time, and she knows what muscles relieve that nagging pain. She gave me specific exercises to do and now I can function without thinking about my hip and sciatica pain. Thank you, Noreen!"

"The Somatics work has completely shifted all those 'stuck' places in my body. I like being in a movement class where I don't have to keep up with a pace. Noreen's instruction is very relaxing and centering."
