P is a 78 years old lady and was suffering from Vein Occlusion for more than 5 years.   She approached us to help heal the same only because her husband (a doctor) experienced relief for his back pain. She thought there must be a cure for her as well in Somatic Vedic Yoga.  Central Retina Vein Occlusion is a blockage in the blood vessel that carries blood away from the retina causing sudden blurry vision and even vision loss in certain cases. Common symptoms include blurry or hazy vision, dark spot floaters in the field of vision, potential partial or total loss of vision in the eye. Potential risk also includes hardening of the arteries pressing down on and narrowing the vein.  Her ophthalmologist had put her on a course of injection which were administered intravenously.  Over the five years period she had already taken 25 injections, much more than warranted, with no relapse in the symptoms.

Ms. A was about 46 years when she reached out to us. She was extremely sceptical about any such therapy and that too online over Zoom. Over a long preliminary call she was partially convinced to try and said she would continue based on her experience with the practices. At the time of intake she referred to her ailments as “ Fibromylagia .Taking medications for it., Feeling of heaviness most days- physiotherapist and doctor attributed it to my fibromylagia problem.- no medicines for it. Migraine/ tension headache- medication if it gets severe. TMJ issue- wearing mouth guard at nights”. She has been seeing physiotherapists and doctors for nearly 8 years with hardly any relief, which was also a reason for her scepticism. During the first session postural assessment revealed the following “ Head and torso turned slightly to the right, shoulders slightly pulled backwards, left shoulder was pulled down.’

KSR is a lady around 50 years.  She was referred by a common friend who has experienced Hanna Somatics [HS] and suggested to her that HS may be the answer to her problems. She reached out in October of 2021. During the initial discussions she explained her problems in detail and she had multiple issues. Considering the complexity of her case we requested Senior Practitioner of HS Ms. Eleanor to guide the process of choosing practices.

In her own words her issues were described as under:

On a regular basis, any muscle of my body, say, biceps or deltoid or quadriceps or even the arch of my foot etc. just gets jammed without any trigger. Then I experience a lot of pain as my daily routine is affected. Some doctors diagnosed it as Fibromyalgia.  At the same time, any joint starts paining severely i.e. cervical or lower back, shoulder joint, finger joints etc. and the pain is excruciating as diagnosed as Rheumatoid Arthritis…
