Quick Relief from Back Pain with Somatics

Have you been feeling back-pain regularly? Like your spine just doesn't feel ok anymore? Or your back just hurts all the time. Are you looking for relief? 

Then Somatics might be the right fit for you. Somatics uses the mind-body connection to help you listen to the signals your body sends about pain or discomfort. Even imbalances. This, in turn, allows you to know how your body holds on to these pain points.


But how are you getting back pain in the first place?


Most of us don't take the time to relax our muscles after any strenuous activity, so the muscles in our body learn to stay contracted. So to un-contract them, most forms of recovery try to strengthen, stretch, or adjust people out of back pain But the problem isn't in your muscles; it's in your brain, the part of your body that learns and unlearns everything. Even how you hold your body.


One very basic Somatics movement that can help aid this is the Back Lift. In the back lift, you move by slowly contracting your back, and then slowly lengthening into relaxation. This method is called pandiculation. It is a natural movement for all vertebrate animals like cats and dogs when they get up from rest. Doing the back lift brings your brain back into sensory and motor control of the muscles. 



Back pain can be healed through gentle Somatics. Here's a testimony from my client who I've worked with regularly:



I am sharing my experience with Somatic Yoga, as taught by a certified practitioner Hina Sampat.


Life was flowing normally until one fine day, my wife was suddenly in terrible and acute pain. Not knowing what had happened, we visited a couple of doctors. After consulting them, we came to know that her hip muscle had torn, and this was the cause of her immense pain. When your hip muscles tear, you can barely move around. My wife was  bedridden. Along with that, she was constantly feeling a sharp pain in her legs. Things looked bad.

We knew we had to fix this and relieve my wifes pain. That is when my daughter-in-law suggested we consult Mrs. Hina Sampat. I already knew Mrs. Hina as she frequented our house to take Somatics sessions for my daughter-in-law, who was also showing great signs of recovery from her personal pain-points, but that is a story for another timeMrs. Hina met my wife and could empathise with her condition. But more importantly, she knew exactly what would help her. She charted out a path of recovery which began with Daily Sessions. In two weeks her daily sessions , gradually but definitely, started making a difference. My wife can now get up without any support and move on her own. The progress has been incredible to witness. When Mrs. Hina started taking the sessions, my wife started using a stick to walk around. Two weeks in, she can walk around the house with zero support. Her back pain has considerably reduced as well.  My wife will continue taking her sessions and surely seeing further improvements.
Hina Sampat's dedication and commitments to cure my wife are praiseworthy. I wish her every success in promoting Somatic Yoga for all those who need it as a cure as well as for healthier beings to avoid any future health problems. Prevention is better than cure!
