How is Hanna Somatics different from other modalities?
Hanna Somatics targets SENSORY MOTOR AMNESIA: Sensory Motor Amnesia is the condition that occurs when we learn to hold ourselves tightly in reaction to pain, injury, surgery or stress. This occurs on a brain level – in the central nervous system. The ONLY way to effectively address SMA is by engaging your brain, the control center of your muscles, to release and lengthen muscles. Hanna Somatics gives you RAPID PROGRESS: most conditions resolve in between three to six sessions. Hanna Somatics focuses actively on FIRST PERSON awareness of changing the muscles from the brain level. The brain and the muscles work as a living, changing process. Unlike chiropractors, massage therapists and others who work “on” you in an effort to change your structure or your muscles passively, Hanna Somatics teaches that only you can change the state of habitually contracted muscles. By using your brain, the command center of your muscles, you create an improved sense of awareness, control and coordination
