Soma Vitality
Soma Neuromuscular Integrationâ
SOMA Neuromuscular Integration ®
SOMA is performed in a series of 10 to 11 sessions. Each session is designed to work the body in layers. This series will balance your body segment by segment with each session building upon the last. The focus of Soma is on fascia and myofascia. Fascia is a protective layer of connective tissue that is found throughout the entire body. It surrounds each muscle and muscle fiber, organs, nerves, bone...etc. Fascia gives our muscles and bodies their shape. It's our organ of form.
Focus: Free the tissue around the rib cage and lengthen the lower back.
Result: Feeling of lightness and wellbeing, a more upright posture and fuller, deeper breathing.
Session 2~
Focus: The body's foundation, lower leg and feet.
Result: Feeling of being firmly grounded and in touch with reality.
Session 3~

Somassage®
Single session treatment work.
Somassage® is a deep full body massage treatment that combines treatment work for injury and balancing of the existing body structure. Somassage® was developed from the principles of SOMA Neuromuscular Integration® and is available to everyone, if you have or have not had the Soma series work. The intent of Somassage® is different than regular massage, the directionality is different and the fascia is addressed in a way that supports the sense of greater suspension and verticality. The client participates in the session. They are invited to bring their self into a focused presence; to feel into their body. The client is taught to utilize movement to aid their body in continuing the wellness process. Somassage® allows for injury treatment, release of tension, increased flexibility, and promotes a relaxed energy.
Somassage® is an excellent option for those who do not wish to have the SOMA series work. Also, after one completes the series work, the re-ordering process requires a long period of time for the body to finish integrating the new balance. During this long period many people still want some regular type of touch maintenance program. This need is met effectively by the Somassage®.
Somassage® is not Structural Integration like the SOMA Sessions. The work is not permanent and ,if desired, needs to be repeated regularly.
