What is Hanna Somatics?
"Sensory Motor Amnesia is the condition where the brain has lost the ability to relax tight muscles. Somatics teaches the brain to remember."
Unlike traditional stretching or massage, Hanna Somatics works with your brain to release chronic muscle tension from the inside out. Through slow, conscious movements, you retrain your nervous system to let go of patterns of tension caused by stress, injury, or repetitive postures.
