ABOUT SOMABODYWORK

glossary  

SomaBodywork was created by James Burkhardt. It is a hybrid system, that is a proactive way, for relatively healthy people to increase and maintain their health and find their full potential. The goal of SomaBodywork is to release soft tissue restrictions in the body and return it to an ideal state of health for optimal function and performance.

SomaBodywork uses precise soft tissue pressure and targeted stretching to free restriction in the body. It is designed on a strong anatomical foundation, which allows the therapist to see imbalance in the body. By being able to pinpoint the imbalance, the therapist can release unique strain patterns caused by injury or overuse from repetitive actions.

Releasing restricted tissues changes their structure by: decreasing noxious neurological firing, increasing blood flow and hydration in the connective tissue (a process called solation) and returning soft tissues to their optimal length so they fit the skeletal and nervous systems. Doing structural bodywork treats the root cause of the problem, so the results are rapid and long lasting.

Changing the structure of damaged soft tissues strengthens all bodily systems and then allows energy to flow so that healing occurs naturally. This decreases pain while increasing strength, flexibility and functionality. It also prevents future injury. It is very useful for actors, dancers, athletes and yoga practitioners by helping to achieve maximum athletic / physical potential.

NMT / SomaBodywork is $150 per hour.
Outcalls are $300 for the first hour, $200 for successive hours.
