Hanna Somatics is an innovative mind-body therapy that helps you realign with your innate freedom of movement.

To relieve this pain and reintroduce freedom of movement long term, we work with the nervous system through slow mindful movements to re-educate and release the chronic holding habits of the muscles.

Hanna Somatics is different to other treatments and physical practices as it re-trains the muscle memory at the brain level so the issue is dealt with at the source, making the changes long lasting whilst being a pain free and enjoyable process.

This system is developed from the Feldenkrais method by a neurophysiologist who studied with Feldenkrais himself, Thomas Hanna. Hanna understood that when muscles become stressed they contract, potentially causing pain and restriction of movement, this reaction is an instruction from the brain, it is the nervous system in the freeze, flight or fight response.

“The practice of Somatics has opened my body to it's natural patterns of movement and healed long term problems"

- Christina, Yoga Teacher

A non-invasive, hands on therapy where small moves are done over certain tendons, muscles and connective tissue, and often over chinese meridians (energy lines). There are sometimes short resting breaks between the moves to allow the work time to fully integrate into the systems of the body. The treatment helps to initiate the body's own healing process, relieving tension, reducing pain and helping to balance the system.
