Want to know more ?
You will learn a safe and gentle movement-based approach to reducing chronic muscle pain and tension called Clinical Somatic Education. It is the only scientifically-based sensory motor training that teaches you how and why muscle tension develops and what you can do about it.
The learning in this program can benefit anyone, including those with common pain conditions
such as chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and more.
Clinical Somatic Education teaches you life-long skills that improve your ability to self-sense,
self-monitor, and self-correct. You will be empowered to take care of yourself instead of relying on others
to alleviate your muscle pain and postural imbalances.
