Neuromuscular Effects of Stress

Introduction

One of the effects of stress is a general increase in tension within the skeletal muscles. This muscular tension occurs generally, but affects some areas more than others. The muscles which are typically affected by stress include the shoulder elevators, the muscles of the neck and jaw, the accessory muscles of breathing and the diaphragm. The erector spinae are a commonly affected muscle group. Muscles which are already under tension due to postural distortions or for other reasons may develop problems secondary to the increased muscular tension. Muscles which are used repetitively during the period of stress are often held with more tension in them than is necessary (e.g., muscles of the shoulder and arm when typing), and if this behaviour occurs often the tension may become habitual.

Somatic Education Exercises for Neuromuscular Stress

A PROGRAM to END PAIN and restore MOVEMENT WITHOUT STRETCHING
guided by Lawrence Gold
certified Hanna somatic educator

required easy reading for L.E.A.R.N. Advantage Personal Attention Mentoring

If you have pain, you need not wait until the pain subsides; start promptly. These comfortable-to-do exercises extinguish pain as you do them.
This newer alternative to standard therapy loosens muscular tensions that cause back pain, scoliosis, sciatica, and changes to movement caused by injury. As muscles loosen, the sciatic nerve comes free and the pain fades out.
Reprogram muscle/movement memory for muscles that cause pain and drain you of energy. You'll come to move as you did when you were younger, before injury and aging set in.
Far more effective and safer than stretching. No recovery "down" time.
PROGRAMMED INSTRUCTION:
Guided and Paced Step-by-Step Practice Sessions for Whole-Body Reconditioning to Dissolve Sciatica, Back Pain, and Pain from Neuromuscular Stress
Lawrence Gold, authorized Hanna somatic educator, paces you step-by-step through the eight exercises for movement health and physical comfort published in Somatics: Re-awakening the Mind's Control of Movement, Flexibility and Health, by Thomas Hanna, Ph.D..

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.

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.

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.

I liked this video very much. It was well organized and aesthetically pleasing. Clear and simple to follow, the video had an excellent pace which allowed the viewer to participate simultaneously with the producers.
Consequently, I would recommend this video . . . It is accessible, applicable and appropriate for any audience: practitioners, students, or novices.
