This Somatic Movement Flow® is called Beads on a Necklace. The self-care video below offers step-by-step instructions with intent to help the practitioner erase pain and stiffness in the muscles of the back, improve posture, hydrate vertebral discs, and bring mobility to the spine to ensure it is flexible enough to move in all directions comfortably. After the video, read on to learn how it works!
How does this work?
In this blog, let’s discuss how and why most people find “miraculous” immediate results in this Somatic Movement Flow!
First, an interesting fact… Did you know that Americans spend more than $50 billion a year on back pain? Back pain can be caused by a variety of problems, including injury to muscles attached to the vertebral column. And, unfortunately, many traditional modalities (prescription medicine, surgeries, and gadgets to name a few) used to treat this condition offer temporary relief to the symptoms but the pain eventually comes back.
In Gentle Somatic Yoga & Wellness, we teach you how to reverse these conditions by going to the root of the cause of chronic pain/stiffness and repattern the brain-to-muscle connection for beneficial, long-lasting results.
Next, highlighting some anatomy involved in this Flow: the erector spinae is a group of muscles that work together to extend the vertebral column and thus maintain good posture. The muscles are stimulated by the spinal nerves. Many of these muscles are small and susceptible to injury. This is compounded when muscles are tight and compress the nerves that pass through the spinal cord. This can lead to chronic pain, and this can affect emotional equilibrium.
One of the unique aspects of this Somatic Movement Flow® is that participants are invited to isolate and articulate the muscles surrounding each vertebrate. The brain loves this challenge because slow, smooth, and mindful movements can release deep stress-holding patterns held within muscles and repattern them back to their optimal length. In layman’s terms, this means that you gain flexibility and mobility of the spine.
In conclusion, remember, the beneficial effects are cumulative the more you practice. Also, you can easily explore this Somatic Movement sitting in a chair.
