Somatics is based on neuroscience principles to retrain the nervous system. Thomas Hanna, PhD, developed Somatics leveraging neuro-science principles to retrain the nervous system. Somatics addresses chronic muscular tension and pain by focusing on the brain’s role in sensing and organizing movement. The result is improved muscle function and sensory awareness. Somatics can be described as a form of neuromuscular re-education practice. The Sensory Motor Cortex is the part of

According to the CDC (U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), during 2021, an estimated 20.9% of U.S. adults (51.6 million people) experienced chronic pain, and 6.9% (17.1 million people) experienced high-impact chronic pain.

The prevalent treatment for pain ranges from surgery to physical therapy of the affected part of the bo
