SomatoEmotional Release

SomatoEmotional Release™

Bodywork
A therapeutic system developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Drs JE Upledger and Z Karni, based on the posit that the physical forces absorbed during an injury will either dissipate, allowing the body to heal itself, or be retained, which forces the body to adapt. The adaptive response consists of surrounding the physical force with a pocket of energy, which Upledger and Kami call an “energy cyst”, a hypothetical lesion that impedes healing; the energy cyst in turn becomes a cause of disease and dysfunction.
