Neuromuscular Science and Somatics

Somatics deals with correcting functional issues. We look at breaking habitual, fixed motor patterns which are stored in the sub cortex and create chronically tight muscles. The sub cortex is located below and completely covered by the cerebral cortex. The sub cortex can be divided into three main areas: 1) Brainstem and hindbrain 2) Midbrain 3) Forebrain The sub cortex involves involuntary actions such as heart rate, breathing, swallowing and digestive activity. But it is also the seat of FIXED MOTOR PATTERNS. So [...]
