Restorative Movement
Restorative Movement with Teresa Ojinma
Restorative Movement Education is a form of somatic therapy based on the work of Thomas Hanna PhD, founder of Clinical Hanna Somatics, which is a type of neuromuscular training that uses the sensory motor feedback loop of the somatic nervous system to teach the brain how to release, lengthen and fully relax muscle tension to eliminate pain and improve movement. It is “somatic” because the learning occurs within the individual from a first person perspective that is self-initiated and self-controlled.
Eliminating muscle pain, stiffness, and the feeling of ‘getting old” starts with the brain. Trauma, stress, and postural compensations change the way the brain senses and moves us, and how we experience ourselves on a physical and emotional level. These educational and participatory sessions teach you to restore fluid, effortless, and joyful movement – on your own, wherever you are and whenever you need it.
