Balanced Somatic Tension
A structure held up by cable tension
Manage Movement Restrictions, Impaired Function and Physical Pain
A healthy body maintains a dynamic balance of tension and relaxation. When this balance is disturbed, some areas become too restricted and others become unstable, creating irregular patterns of strain through the body. Each session (1) identifies a key strain pattern somewhere in the body, (2) seeks to release it and (3) integrates the change to find a more balanced tension for the body.
Many things can disturb the balance and function of the body: early life patterns which have shaped your development, emotional tension which expresses at a neurological level, medical and dental procedures that don’t leave any visible trace but can still have a profound physical impact, illness, or the many minor accidents which build up over the years.
As you peel away your body’s adaptations to past damage, the body is less restricted by imbalanced tension patterns, and more able to normalise fluid movement, nerve function and activate its self-regulation and healing mechanisms. Conditions as varied as migraines, scoliosis and neck pain can be approached from this perspective.
