Somatics offers more than alleviating chronic pain and tension, it’s also a simple tool to bring about a more balanced nervous system. One way it does this is because some of the key movements of this practise relates to our innate responses to stress and anxiety. We literally recreate the patterns of stress and anxiety to gain control over them.

Somatics - Self Help for Pain Relief

This is a true story. Woke early in London with terrible shoulder, collarbone pain. Struggled on until I got back home, feeling quite wretched. By 2.30pm I was on my back trying to decide which video to try... Opted for wash rag, never done before, trusting instinct. One and a half hours later I was without pain, and the whole of my rib cage and chest feel mobile and free, ready to go to Lincoln Cathedral to sing the beautiful Duruffle Requiem. In Paradisum indeed. And to think I was contemplating saying I had to pull out tonight, unable to sing. Life-saving Somatics
