Somatic Movement in the Thomas Hanna tradition

Please note: somatic movement sessions are conducted in French or Spanish only. If you prefer English, our therapeutic massage is available in English, French or Spanish.

What it is

Somatic movement, in the tradition of Thomas Hanna's Clinical Somatics, addresses sensorimotor amnesia — the brain forgetting how to relax muscles that stay involuntarily contracted. Through slow, mindful movements (pandiculations), your nervous system re-learns how to let go. It is a complement to, and goes beyond, traditional massage.

Who it's for

• Chronic back, neck or shoulder tension that keeps coming back
• Posture that worsens over time despite exercise
• Stiffness and limited mobility — accessible at any age or fitness level
• Anyone who wants tools to manage their own body, not depend on lifelong sessions

What to expect

Sessions are slow, guided and gentle — no strength or flexibility required. Sessions may include myofascial release with a ball and props, and you leave with simple exercises to practice at home.
