Clinical Somatics

A partial list of disorders that respond well to Clinical Somatic Education appears below. The descriptions indicate the rationale and approach used in addressing a disorder. You may expect these disorders to improve or resolve completely within a few sessions.

In addition, answers to questions about such disorders appear at our Somatic Experts Forum. Click here to visit the forum, read questions and answers, or post your own questions.

Clinical Somatic Educators do not diagnose "disease" conditions, but only identify muscular tension patterns that correspond to patterns of pain and/or to somatic disorders, as below.

A Clinical Somatic Educator can usually predict, with a high degree of accuracy, the number of sessions needed to resolve a particular malady. If your practitioner feels you are not improving as expected, he or she may advise you to return to your physician for further diagnostic procedures.
