In a world that is increasingly about moving quickly, and looking outwards, Somatic Groundwork invites us to slow down and look inwards, using the ground as support to help relieve pain, and deeply restore the nervous system.

Somatic Groundwork is a movement and theory based practise which asks us to slow down. Even slower. Slow enough that we can notice what is present in the body, and how we move and organise our unique movement patterns.

It is a gentle and developmental movement approach that provides therapeutic, creative and functional benefits. It helps improve self-regulation, coordination, mobility/stability and feeling states.

Somatic Groundwork commonly: 

• restores feelings of pleasure and ease

• promotes self-regulation skills

• reduces and/or eliminates low back, hip, neck and shoulder pain

• relieves emotional overwhelm and angst

• improves movement quality and function

• helps to develop compassionate partnership with our body

• attunes sensory awareness 

• offers recovery from chronic stress and overload
