WHAT WE DO
Better healthcare starts with better understanding.
The Somatic Practice Hackney helps people understand, manage and move forward from pain, injury and problems with movement.
We combine careful assessment and hands-on treatment with clear explanation and practical advice. The aim isn't simply to address what hurts today. It's to understand what's happening, what may be contributing to it, and what will help you get back to the things you want to do.
Good healthcare shouldn't be intimidating or opaque. It shouldn't leave people dependent on a practitioner to tell them what their body can and can't do. And it shouldn't make somebody feel like a nuisance for asking questions, expressing concerns or wanting to understand why something hurts.
We believe knowledge is part of treatment.
That means explaining what we're looking for, sharing what we think may be happening, being open about what we don't know, and giving patients a realistic idea of what comes next.
Treatment isn't simply about resolving today's pain. It's about helping people understand their body well enough to make informed decisions about tomorrow.
We want people to leave The Somatic Practice feeling listened to, clearer about what is happening, and more confident about what to do next.
What can we help with?
Sports massage can be tailored to any patient. Rather than thinking of Sports Massage as a fixed entity, we prefer to think of it as a tool kit from which we can select the right tools to help the person in front of us.
We have helped office workers, chefs, musicians, dancers, runners, football players, designers, bakers, baristas, artists, and doctors with issues such as lower back pain, runners knee, tennis elbow, muscular tension, stress, strains, sprains, mystery pains, tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, sciatica and more.
If your issue is musculoskeletal, chances are we can help. If you’re unsure then reach out and we will be happy to discuss your issue before committing to a treatment.
