Caroline is a miracle-worker and I go out of my way to recommend her to anyone who has pain or injury...or to pretty much anyone who has a body!
I'd never heard of Somatics before coming here, so I'll give a quick overview. It's an alternative style of body work used commonly by circus acrobatic performers to prevent and treat injury. Somatics retrains your brain to take control and release the tension caused by pain or sub-optimal movement patterns.
I'm 24 and I've had chronic back pain for 10 years due to an old injury. Unfortunately, my back condition can't be outright "healed" and has to be managed, for which I've tried everything under the sun...acupuncture, physiotherapy, chiropractic, sports massage...
They all helped some, but none of them did enough to be a long-lasting solution. I couldn't even sit in the same position for more than an hour at a time.
Since I've been seeing Caroline, I can once again play tennis intensively, hike for hours and even work at my desk job - where I'm sitting most of the day - without feeling physically inhibited AND without pain!! This would have been unheard of for me before. She has taught me how to effortlessly improve my posture and encouraged me to adopt healthier movement patterns in my day-to-day. She also gave me simple exercises to do on my own that maintain the results of our sessions together long term =)
Most importantly, she made all this FUN and the sessions are incredibly relaxing.
In short (or I guess not) I can't emphasize enough how amazing Caroline is and how much she has done for me. If you're reading this, then you're obviously here for a reason - GO. read more
