When our muscles are ratcheted up and we feel that gnawing tension, it's easier said to "just let it go".
BUT... if we use the brain in a direct manner, the brain will send the message to the muscles to let go... and it'll remember with a kind reminder.
Thomas Hanna proposed the idea of sensory-motor amnesia. Our muscles in effect forget how to let go and they remain rigid or held in high states of contraction.
Using the brain and body with somatics exercises re-rights us and gets us back on track to easy, comfortable feelings in our muscles.
Pain, stiffness and aches can go away for good! How does that happen? Your brain's motor cortex can reset tension levels back to comfortable levels using a natural living process known as a pandiculation. The founder of clinical medicine noted this act in in 1680. Now we've systematized pandiculations as somatics exercises where you do micro-movements to free your muscles and movement system to feel like yourself again!
Somatics Can Change Your Pain...
Here's what it can do for you:
• Release and reverse course on both chronic and acute pain
• Improve mobility, strength and coordination
• Improve posture and appearance
• Help you stop guarding to protect injured areas
• Create a new freedom in movement
• Breathe easier
• Become more and in control of your life
Healthy animals are agile, supple, flexible and graceful with their movements.
The practice of Somatics uses animal know-how so you can
use your brain through a little known healthy animal practice.

If we Human Animals use this very process, not the stretching part, but the entire process. You can remain very comfortable in your skin.
Not much is known about this unless you are familiar with Hanna Somatic Education.

Getting out of Pain is Easy, it's no big whiff, if you correctly apply the process.
The longer term benefit is you can improve your athletics by using your brain and still remain comfortable.

How many people who are healthy and in shape are still in pain, or are re-injuring them self?
And if you're stretching, forget about it... There's a much more effective way to lengthen your muscles. Rather than stretching, you can do what your pets have been doing...
PANDICULATE!... in the morning, afternoon and ...
