WHAT IS HANNA SOMATIC EDUCATION (HSE)? We are born with the innate ability to LEARN how to control our muscles through movement. We don’t lose that innate ability, we just forget. This loss of function commonly goes unnoticed - until it causes pain. Then it is usually treated as a structural problem requiring surgery or long-term treatment, or diagnosed as a condition that will require long-term pain medication. The term “somatic” refers to the ongoing, internal, automatic processes that keep our whole body functioning. Dr. Hanna named this loss of function Sensory Motor Amnesia, and he developed three hands-on protocols that target the specific reflex patterns and restore feeling and control to the muscle(s). The method used to correct SMA is called pandiculation. Pandiculation is an active collaboration between the practitioner and the client to voluntarily engage the malfunctioning muscle to provide sensory feedback to the brain. As the client learns to feel the muscle through movement, the involuntary, unconscious contraction will relax. |
