Somato Emotional Release
SER is a hands on therapeutic treatment that uses and expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help relax the body to help deal with the residual effects of stress. We acknowledge that the source of pain or discomfort in the body can be more than bio mechanical in nature and subscribe to a biosychosocial approach to manual therapy. Our pain and tension can be influenced by other factors or stressors (like our emotional state and our environment) which can contribute to tension in the body. The philosophy behind SER is that the stress that one accumulates over time can be the root cause of chronic physical tension in the body.
SER is a gentle osteopathic technique that incorporates gentle joint mobilizations/joint play and light fascial mobilizations. SER can help to bringing awareness to areas of tension in the body to promote relaxation of the tissue. It can also create a sense of calm or relaxation in the body by increasing the parasympathetic nervous system response.
