Somatic Release is a powerful and transformative practice that is gaining recognition for its ability to heal and restore the body on multiple levels.
It’s distinct from traditional exercise because it focuses on releasing tension and trauma stored in the body, instead of simply strengthening or conditioning muscles.
Here’s why Somatic Release is so beneficial, especially for people with injuries or previous injuries.
What Is Involved in Somatic Release?
Somatic Release often includes the following elements:
Breathing Techniques: Deep, conscious breathing is a key component, helping the body to relax and release tension.
Gentle Movement: Movements are slow and mindful, designed to help release built-up tension in muscles and fascia.
Fascial Release: Fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) is worked on through gentle pressure and stretching to release restrictions.
Mindfulness: Attention is paid to the sensations in the body, guiding the person to focus on areas that need release.
Bodywork: Techniques like massage, stretching, and mobilization can be incorporated to enhance the release of tight muscles and connective tissue.
Posture Re-education: Focusing on alignment and posture to create lasting improvements in how the body moves and feels.
