If you have pain, start promptly; don't wait until pain subsides. These exercises extinguish pain. This program removes the cause of back stiffness, scoliosis, sciatica, nagging low back pain, muscular pain, and some forms of nerve pain -- loss of muscular control in the form of tighteness you can't relax. Posture improves as a by-product of new muscular control. You'll use variations of "the Whole-Body yawn" (pandiculation) to awaken control of tight muscles and the ability to relax at a moment's notice -- the natural ability of most animals. Your agility and coordination will improve and you'll come to move as you did when you were younger -- before injury and aging set in -- and if you're like me, you'll feel grateful that you're able to move so well and then come to expect that quality of movement as your normal condition. In that sense, it's like reversing ageing.

Your more detailed instructions and the pace make a remarkable difference. Feels much more relaxing. 5/3/2010 8:54 AM, Christian Grass wrote: Hi Lawrence, I started over again today with section one of the basic cat stretch.

I've been doing the lessons ... for about 10 weeks and seem to feel better after each week. 9/30/2009 5:24 PM, ajfurlow@aol.com wrote: I've been into musculoskeletal pain relief for a long time but recently discovered Hanna Somatics. I was into Egoscue for a few years but have had much better results with Somatics. I've been doing the lessons from Thomas Hanna's book for about 10 weeks and seem to feel better after each week. My job of dog grooming requires standing all day and a lot of stressful tension. I hurt everywhere at the end of the day but the exercises make me feel better. Just recently I've had more neck release which seemed to be a real stubborn spot. The upper extensor muscles of my back would just not relax and I'd wake up in the morning very sore in that area. I can't wait to do the neck and shoulder exercises in your book to pinpoint more of that area. I hope to one day learn these exercises to teach others how to get out of pain. Amanda

I ordered the [download] and did some exercises this morning. I can already feel some relief. 12/14/2007 2:52 PM subject: Re: Good stuff -- Somatics! Hi Lawrence, I typed in "relief for back spasms" yesterday and read your article. Then I ordered the ebook, and did some exercises this morning. I can already feel some relief. And I know over time my "back problems" will return to normal, my natural state. Thank you so MUCH for making Somatics available! I love alternative therapies. I listed your article/site at What Love Does in alternative therapies. Marelin Thornton musemagic@gmail.com

I will tell you how this program has improved the quality of my life recently. I have had overall body pains from car accidents, a bad fall with a broken tail bone, fibromyalgia, thyroid problem and many unknown reasons for over 20 yrs . . . 2/10/2010 11:17 AM Re: which program? Hi, I have been doing Hanna Somatics for approximately 7 months. I will tell you how this program has improved the quality of my life recently. I have had overall body pains from car accidents, a bad fall with a broken tail bone, fibromyalgia, thyroid problem and many unknown reasons for over 20 yrs. I purchased [the] CD's and began working through the material. Prior to starting the exercises I would wake up every morning with the feeling that my shoulders were practically up to my ears and my hip were up to my waistline. It would take hours for the body to readjust, if it ever did. Now, I wake up with everything still in its proper place and perhaps the hips have dropped a bit. I am a Taiji practioner and my Master has been trying to get the point across to drop the hips, relax the shoulders, feel the weight in the feet, lift the head and many other points too numerous to list for this explaination. I truely believe that these Somatic exercises are the vehicle for me to understand and prepare my body to do all that the Master has required of me for better form. Marsha Nolan
