How does SOMA differ from massage?
Both SOMA and massage are touch therapies, but the methods and results differ greatly. The primary benefit of a traditional massage therapy such as Swedish massage is relaxational. These changes are of a relatively short duration – on the order of hours to days. SOMA provides long term change to the body by changing the structure of the body through the fascia. Manipulating the fascia of the body is an uncommon concept within traditional massage therapy.
