Question
Hi Lawrence

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I found that website very interesting. The details provided for tension headaches sounds exactly like what i'm experiencing. I feel like I need to lose the tension in my neck.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any methods of getting rid of the tension on the website. I would attend one of the centres, however there are none in my area.

Do you know some things I can try to lose the tension? I feel stress free, and have good posture etc.

Thanks again.

Aaron

Answer
Aaron,

On Somatics on the Web, page7.htm details available self-help programs.

For neck tension, several programs contain somatic exercises for relief:

The Five-Pointed Star or Free Yourself from Back Pain:  Spine Waves.

The Five-Pointed Star contains an exercise that, with special instruction, alleviates neck tension affecting movements in various directions.

Also, The Magic of Somatics contains somatic exercises for the back and sides of the neck.

with regard,
