Treatment can result in immediate and long term improvement in muscle strength, restoration of motion and increased energy. Often arthritic pain is reduced due to improved posture and joint function. This practice of manipulating muscles and other soft tissues can increase blood and lymphatic circulation, soothe tired and sore muscles, speed healing from injury and reduce the effects of stress. Modalities like ultrasound, muscle stimulation and others are used in conjunction with therapeutic exercises to assist in the rehabilitation of damaged tissues, providing for a full and complete recovery. Over time your body compensates for stressful postures, injuries and accidents.
Muscles become dysfunctional, shortening and weakening.
Somatic therapy relieves the chronic pain caused by this compensation and dysfunction. Through muscle retraining and gentle home exercise, muscle function can be restored, structural imbalances can be eliminated and your body can be restored to its normal pain-free condition. Good health cannot be bought. It must be practiced. It must be part of your daily routine.
