Pain Relief and Relaxation

Unlock Pain-Free Posture

Imagine sitting at your desk without that creeping tension in your neck and shoulders or making it through your workday without the familiar ache in your lower back.

Clinical Somatic Movement offers a unique, gentle approach to freeing your body from pain—not through endless stretches or intense workouts, but by retraining your nervous system for natural, fluid motion.

Whether you’re battling stiffness from hours at a desk, struggling with sciatica, or recovering from surgery, this powerful method can help you move with ease and comfort.

Picture standing taller, breathing more freely, and moving without hesitation. As you become attuned to your body’s subtle cues, the discomfort that once weighed you down will fade, replaced by a deep sense of vitality and resilience. This isn’t just pain relief—it’s a path to reclaiming effortless movement and confidence in your body.

David Gavins, Sales Director, BCMS

Really enjoyed the session on wellbeing. Alison was highly experienced and knowledgeable, providing insight on really current topics such as mental health. It gave me some useful tips to take away and use in my daily life, to improve my stress levels as well as advice in approaching management if required.

Jessica Crosby,  EU Sales Manager

We asked Alison to help us with our IT staff meeting by leading a session on well-being. Alison did a lot of work in advance of the day, finding out about what our people do and our specific needs so that she could tailor the session so that we could get the most out of it. In the session itself, Alison was very enthusiastic and is clearly an expert in her field, the chatter as we left for the break was incredibly positive with people saying they would be trying some of the techniques from the session.

Alison was very professional and easy to deal with throughout our work together and continues to keep us updated with information on well-being.
