Injury Treatment

SOMA Structural Integration® techniques can also be employed to address a recent injury or pain issue. Treatment work is designed to balance and reintegrate a joint or a body region overcome by stress and compensatory movement patterns. Treatments educate, rejuvenate, and support the body’s ability to heal; they are custom, specific, and integral.

Certain SOMA series sessions can be taken straight from the Series and utilized as effective treatments for acute injury, and every injury under the sun. These specific sessions can be received as one-time treatments for quick results. These are called ‘stand-alone’ sessions because they do not need to be followed-up by another appointment like most the SOMA series sessions.

The ‘stand-alones’ from the 11-session SOMA Series are: 

• # 1 of Series for ‘Breath-ability’
  A breath-oriented session to make it easier to utilize breath mechanics for fuller, easier breathing.

• # 2 of Series for ‘Happy Feet’
  A foot and lower leg session to offer quick improvements to stability, coordination... or...

• # 3 of Series for optimally-free ribs and shoulder cuff
  A low back and deep shoulder session to spread out shortness that gather-up and bind the left and right sides of the torso.

• #7 of Series for ‘Putting on the Head’
  A head and neck session to offer better alignment and relief from restricted movement, headaches, TMJ pain, poor breathing and swallowing, forward head posture, and whiplash.

• The Arms Session for free movement in arms
  A finger/thumb, hand, wrist, forearm, arm and shoulder session to get the arms out of and free from being jammed up into the neck -- Aric himself gets this session five times a year to avoid and cancel-out any repetitive stress from working.

These treatments are often used as a foundation for expanding into a specific in-depth treatment series that addresses more complex or long-standing issue like:

• fallen arches

• sciatic impingement

• repetitive motion injuries

• frozen shoulder

• sleep apnea / snoring

• whiplash / migraine headaches

• pain in the back, hips, or gluteal area

• joint replacement -- post- or pre-surgery support

• attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder

SOMA Structural Integration® techniques used outside of the 11-series format can offer quick support and progress in treating many conditions and accidents. Often, clients move into completing the series once their initial treatment goals are met.
