Sorry for the confusion Intuitouch. You are right, somatics refers to the body, but it's also common use to use the word somatics as short for the wider fields of somatic movement education and therapy. These are considered modalities that use touch, images, verbal instruction, experiential anatomy and movement exploration to create new movement and alignment patterns in the nervous system. They also include the concept of how thought patterns affect perception, structure and function. I guess the use of the word in this way maybe comes from Thomas Hanna definition of soma as the body experienced from within.

Anyhow, here are links for Body Mind Centering and Hanna Somatic Education:

Does anyone here do manipulations or mobilizations? I'm not sure what other names you may call them...

Hi,
I have been using some Bowen and have been impressed with it. It triggers self-healing. It is very easy on the therapist.
The only tricky part is that the client should not receive any ther type of bodywork for about 5 days before and after a session.
The other tricky thing is that it really works so that folks don't have to keep coming back in all the time!

All the best.
Pam
