The things you get up to on a rainy Sunday afternoon....
This little study session really highlighted for me how Soma Training inhabits a unique space between manual therapy and restorative exercise. You do the exercises, and after you're done, you feel like you had an osteo treatment.
As Guy always said,
"You are your own best therapist."
And he really meant it.
He developed the Soma Training techniques (ELDOA, myofascial stretching, segmental strengthening, etc) so that people in pain could help themselves. And so that therapists could offer at-home exercises that made the effects of the treatment last.
Anyway, a fun day and a moment of gratitude for Guy, who passed away in 2024. Thank you, Guy, for this powerful, profound body of work! ππΌπ₯°π

Congratulations to these incredible people for completing their ELDOA for the Spine certification!
Three days full-to-the-brim of dense learning, exploring, discussing, and discovery. And here we are, on the other side! ππ
I can't believe I lucked out with this group of fun-loving, intuitive, top-notch practitioners.
We laughed and pondered in equal measure and explored the wonderful worlds of ELDOA and fascia with open hearts!
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS,
