Can Hanna Somatics help to improve my posture?
Yes, most definitely. Postures typically become distorted due to the way we stand/ sit in characteristic postures because chronically contracted muscles hold us there. Our muscles become balanced in tonicity, front, back and sides, when we stand/sit in a comfortable and upright position. When our muscles are more contracted on one side, we are pulled in that direction. Improper postures and unpleasant symptoms such as muscle/joint pain, headaches and so on can occur because the nervous system is repeatedly sending” contract” messages to muscles. During the sessions you will be taught how to recognise, reverse and release chronic and habitual contraction patterns through a series of slow and co-ordinated movements. This educational process helps awaken your potential to sense and move your body freely, deliberately and naturally. Mastery is achieved by performing your daily movement exercises, coupled with the hands-on sessions you can expect to enjoy a rapid improvement in comfort, qua
