Somatic Traking Exercises

​

It’s important to understand the science that sits behind the practice of Somatic Tracking as this is what makes the exercise effective.

• All pain is real. All pain is created in the brain.

• When there is no structural damage, there is no reason for pain to persist.

• Most chronic pain is caused by learned neural pathways in the brain.

• Chronic pain changes the brain; it becomes overprotective and hypersensitive.

• The brain amplifies safe signals in the body which result in symptoms.

• The brain is making a mistake and is stuck in a threat-pain loop.

• We can teach the brain that it is safe—there is no threat or danger and no need for pain.

• When pain is brain-generated, complete recovery is possible.
