The enigma of changing habits... you have to get somatic.
Somatic means relating to, or affecting the body. The Trager Approach is a form of somatic education. It helps release deep-seated physical and mental patterns and facilitates deep relaxation, increased physical mobility, and mental clarity. It's the awareness of your body in motion and how it feels that can change a habit. Chronic pain and other physiological symptoms including inflexibility and limited range of motion can be a neurological pattern that has become stuck. Humans tend to repeat what is familiar, even if it's not necessarily good for them.
When we can slow down and focus on specific feeling qualities, and are very sensitive to the small details, it allows us to get below the surface of habitual patterns. Maybe the way you get out of your car everyday, or how you sit in front of your computer has created a gripping pattern in your hip or hamstring muscles. Not until you notice the pattern, and then change the pattern, will the pain begin to diminish.
