Hanna Somatics
with David Fleming & Amanda Franklin
 |
| David Fleming & Amanda Franklin explaining Hanna Somatics @ Om Yoga Show Manchester 2015 |
This
session was guided by clinician David Fleming and assisted by Amanda Franklin.
David talked participants through a sequence of movements to improve their range.
Each series was monitored by noticing your range of movement before carrying
out the instructed sequence and comparing this after carrying out a sequence.
For example when practising a seated twist participants were asked to locate
the furthest spot they could turn to and then to carry out a sequence of
instructed moves, the seated twist was then repeated and the previous located
spot was noted and surpassed by some distance ie each participant was able to
twist further on their next twist. Moving through a specifically devised
sequence of new movements breaks down old patterns and re-educates the
neuromuscular system. You could witness the amazement on each participants
face, questioning how such a difference was possible, to which David proclaimed
with a smile ‘it’s magic’…
Hanna Somatics is a rapidly growing form of mind and body treatment that can help those suffering the effects of chronic pain or injury. It bares some similarities to the Feldenkrais technique. It can turn muscles off that have remained switched on for lengthy periods alleviating muscle fatigue. You can find out more via the website listed below.
