Welcome to Somatic Energy
Massage!
A massage not only feels
great but provides immediate and long lasting health benefits. It
releases stored stress in the body and stimulates endorphin
production, which improves emotional well being. It aids the
lymphatic system in removing and detoxifying the body of waste
products. Professional bodywork improves muscle function, releasing
knots and muscle tension. Massage increases range of motion and
dexterity. An energized massage restores vigor, giving a youthful,
healthy glow. A program of regular massage greatly improves
quality of life.
A Somatic Energy Massage views the
individual as a whole : Everything is connected and
related. What are our daily routines? What type of work do we
perform or habits do we have that may cause muscle
tension? We might not realize these actions would cause
such pain or limit performance. Everything from sleeping to texting
on a cell phone can cause stress in muscle groups that will
eventually manifest in limited performance or debilitating pain. A
Somatic Energy Massage uses proven massage and healing
techniques to tailor a treatment plan unique to each
individual.
Dr. Milton Trager, the
discoverer of the Trager Approach, felt 'hooking up' with each
client to be very important for healing. At the
beginning of each session, a therapist enters into a state of
awareness termed "hooking up," a state similar to meditation. From
this state of mind, the therapist uses touch and movement to
communicate with your body and mind the feeling of a freer and an
easier way of being and moving . This is at the
heart of a Somatic Energy Massage, complete focus with
each individual during the massage session.
New discoveries in quantum
physics and biology reveal remarkable insight regarding the
ability of people to heal. They have shown how modalities such as
massage, focused intent and healing practices, some dating to
thousands of years ago, influence healing. This
emerging Epigenetic Medicine provides a greater
awareness to understand the connectedness of ourselves and our
natural state of being. A fascinating reference
explaining Soul Medicine in relation to quantum biology and physics
is The Genie in your Genes, by Dawson Church, Ph.D .
I hope you will experience a Somatic
Energy Massage soon.
Wishing you good health and peace.

Stretching:
Daily
stretching is an important routine to maintain your overall
health.
When we
start to feel good, it is easy to forget our stretches. And
then it is not long before we start to wake up with muscle and
joint aches or limited range of motion during our daily
routines.
The
easiest time to stretch is before you get out of bed in the
morning. Performing a few simple stretches each day will
keep your muscles relaxed and at their normal length. Joints
will feel more flexible and you will feel at your optimum
health. Stretching only takes a couple minutes, and it will
keep you feeling great all day.
I will
demonstrate simple stretches for you to do at home after your
massage session.
