Martha Peterson changed my movement my teaching and my life in such a way they I continue to learn and improve.. She is open minded patient and passionate about what she teaches how she lives. Having the pleasure of meeting her mom I can see why:) My years with Martha has given me the gift of embodiment and curiosity that offers freedom as I age. I am deeply grateful.
Thank you so much, Dar, for these kind and generous words. May your Somatics practice continue to offer you continued growth, learning, and freedom for as long as you live!
Thank you! And yes, the field is growing and I couldn't be more thrilled. The world needs more embodied people. The more we can sense and control ourselves the more empathetic and caring we can be with others.
What kind of exercises are okay to do along with somatics, I have weak neck muscles from arthritis, and do some strengthening exercises from physical therapy , also weak upper back muscles, thanks 🙏
Martha Thank you 🙏🏽 I was introduced to Hannah somatics in the early 90s and I have used it off and on. This morning I was in a lot of discomfort I’m subscribed to your station and a notification popped up. I’ve sat here and participated in your offering on this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are divine I’m wondering about a chronically tight jaw. I will search your page but if I don’t locate one, would you be willing to do a short video on that please Blessings
I'm thrilled that you've come back to Hanna/Clinical Somatics and are finding relief from your aches and pains. This is a practice so keep learning, pandiculating, and consider finding a teacher near you who can guide you to get the most out of your practice. As to a tight jaw, watch this video from our channel and see how things go: th-cam.com/video/VtzX-famwCA/w-d-xo.html I find that a habituated Red Light Reflex is often at the root of jaw tension. Don't forget to address tension in the center of your body as well in order to get the most out of what I show in the video. I hope this helps!
I'm wondering if you've seen anyone roll back idiopathic nerve pain. I'm 5 years in to seeking relief and nothing has moved the dial. I'd even be happy if someone said "no, you're stuck with it"; I could stop hoping and focus on what I can maintain for ease of movement and fitness. Thank you.
Yes, I've worked with people who have rolled back idiopathic nerve pain. It all depends on what kind of nerve pain, and how you're moving. Have you ever worked one on one in person with a skilled Certified Clinical Somatic Educator? I don't know your history, nor can I see you move. All I know is that tight muscles impinge on nerves as well as put pressure on joints that can in turn impinge on nerves. How you move and function can be a contributing factor. I would recommend a video consultation in order to be able to have an in-depth conversation. I would need a lot more information in order to make an assessment or give an informed opinion. You can make an appointment for a consultation through infro@essentialsomatics.com
Muscles LEARN to stay tight because of messages from your brain. Tools like the hip hook will not retrain your brain's control of the illiacus. The illiacus works together with other muscles and is very much involved in the Trauma Reflex. Long term relief comes when you begin to restore sensation and voluntary control of those muscles that tools like the hip hook are trying to relax. This is the way you begin to understand what caused the tension in the first place, whether it was an accident, fall, functional repetitive stress, or something else. Tools - or "gizmos" as I like to call them - may help for the short term, but only by reeducating your brain to muscle connection and restoring optimum muscle function and balance will you experience relief for the long term.

What do you think of the hip hook?

This is just note to myself 15:30
Great! That's a good way to remind yourself.
