Introduction to SOMA; Empowering Clients Decision Making - 3hrs

SOMA is a Self-management and self-care system, that is a unique blending of movement philosophies to engage a person in a manner that empowers them to MOVE FEEL LIVE better.

SOMA is a fresh approach to enhancing the quality and performance of nerve, muscle, bone, and fascia tissues through hydration, mobilization, and activation techniques that allow for more effective communication between the body and brains!

SOMA is an holistic client-centred methodology for promoting regenerative health. Regenerative Health is about re-establishing an internal state of balance.

SOMA accomplishes this through the use of self-applied applications that include that you will experience:

  • Osteofascial Release™ (OFR), Fascial Mobilizers™ (FM),
  • Myofascial Release (MFR), Functional Reconnecting™ (FR)
  • Each application is used to help regenerate tissue health. This provides better movement recovery to allow you to train smarter.
