ACTIVE SOMA

It is our experience and understanding that distinguishes ACTIVE SOMA and its effective methods as a unique approach to health and wellbeing.

"Nick is a passionate professional. His skill set is a brilliant mix of science and intuition. His approach is thorough and flexible and the results reflect this."

ACTIVE SOMA is the coming together of several complementary strategies and processes that enhance and empower physical wellbeing within the individual.
ACTIVE SOMA utilizes hands on techniques (myofascial release) and guided movements to slowly stretch and reposition the body’s fascia, the supportive wrapping of the body, restoring natural length and elasticity to the body through its network of deep connective fibres of the fascia.
By further applying principles of posture awareness and movement education ACTIVE SOMA is able to assist with how we stand, sit, and walk — the basic elements for any purposeful daily activities.
People seek ACTIVE SOMA and Rolfing as a way to ease pain and chronic stress, and improve performance in their professional and daily activities. Athletes, dancers, children, business people, and people from all walks of life have benefited from this approach.

"Whenever I have a friend with any sort of muscular pain or structural issue, I refer them to Nick who I fondly refer to as "Nick with the magical hands". Nick is one of the best body worker's in the industry. He has helped me finally stand up straight, and is always great to visit when I get stiff and sore from too much work at my desk. I highly recommend him to everyone including my own family, friends and clients!"
