Clinical Somatics for the Workplace
Whole Body Movement is offering a FREE workshop to organisations who recognise the importance of wellbeing at work.
Sitting for long periods of time, or high stress environments take their toll on our bodies. Clinical Somatics teaches us how our bodies respond to stress and what we can do to relieve chronic pain and tension that may arise from continued activation of stress reflexes.
With a regular somatic practice, we can become more efficient in our movements, improve our breathing, sit more comfortably and increase our awareness of the impact of stress on our bodies.
Check out this video to learn more about how clinical somatics can help you be more comfortable at work.

What to expect
This can be a 1 or 2 hour workshop and we will start with a short introduction to the principles of Clinical Somatics. Then we will put these principles into practice with somatic movements designed to bring awareness to how we move and how in control we are of our muscles.
What will be taught
Many conditions of undiagnosed pain are functional in nature and can be addressed through re-education of our nervous system. We will teach what Sensory Motor Amnesia is and how it develops, as well as how to pandiculate effectively to relieve chronic pain and tension. Clinical Somatics is an educational practice that helps us make lasting change.
When you commit to doing the practice and apply what you've learnt by taking action in your everyday life, real transformation occurs.
