My buzz for 2017 is a beautiful new technique called SME. Its a deeply relaxing and reconnection with yourself through breathing and boney body alignment. It is very big in the medical world in Germany where there are many Somatic’s clinics treating chronic pain and chronic conditions. This is not surprising as the Germans tend to be effective in everything they do.
The word Somatic’s comes from the ancient greek word ‘Soma’ which means both mind body. Somatic training is an empowering and educational tool to recalibrate your mind and body. In Somatic’s you use your brain to change your body so the effects are faster and longer lasting. This is because you are physically rewiring your neural circuits and reshaping your brain. This process happens in sync with the rebalancing of your musculoskeletal architecture. There is big emphasis on connecting mind with body.
I believe that fabulous posture and core strength starts at the pelvis, like the Clinical Pilates theory, your core strength develops deep within our pelvis. I am discovering that SME is conscious neuroplasticity, rewiring of the nervous system, mobilisation of the nervous system and gentle stretching of the nervous system . This is a light bulb moment for a Physiotherapist and Pilates Instructor. Offering a technique that can quickly, effectively have a profound affect on well -being and increased self awareness.
