What is Clinical Somatics?
Clinical Somatics is neuromuscular education that uses the groundbreaking technique of pandiculation to retrain muscle memory and relieve pain.
So, muscle memory is causing my pain?
Most chronic pain, joint degeneration, and recurring injuries are caused by the way we use our bodies – the way we sit, stand, and move throughout our lives. And our nervous system is responsible for telling us how to use our bodies. Our nervous system tells us which muscles to contract, when to release them, and how to hold our bodies when we’re just sitting or standing still.
As we grow up, our nervous system actually learns how to make us do these things. The more we repeat a certain posture or movement, the more deeply learned that muscular pattern becomes. After a while, our patterns become so deeply learned that we don’t even have to think about them. This is what we call muscle memory.
Muscle memory is a wonderful thing, because it allows us to get through our daily lives efficiently. But unfortunately, sometimes we learn patterns that damage our bodies–like sitting hunched over at a computer. The only way to change these deeply learned muscular patterns is to re-educate the nervous system.
And that is what Clinical Somatics does. It engages the nervous system in an active learning process that consists of very slow, focused, conscious movements. The movement techniques used in Clinical Somatics teach the nervous system how to release chronic muscle tension and stand and move in natural, efficient ways so that you aren’t putting yourself in pain or doing damage to your body.

Why is Clinical Somatics unique and so effective?
Clinical Somatics is far more effective than massage, chiropractic, and other similar therapies because it addresses the underlying cause of most muscle and joint pain:
The way the nervous system is functioning.
Is Clinical Somatics right for me?
First, have you and your doctor ruled out disease, infection, or structural damage as being the cause of your problem?
If the answer is yes, then it’s fairly safe to say that your pain, recurring injury, or posture or movement issue is a result of the way you’re using your body.
Second, do you like the idea of being self-sufficient and not relying on others to relieve your pain?
If you like the idea of engaging in a learning process and taking care of yourself by practicing gentle exercises, then Clinical Somatics is a good fit for you!
