Although these techniques and exercises are very gentle and meant
to be done slowly taking every precaution into consideration when
incorporating something new into your system, there may be acute
or flared up chronic conditions that the movements or positions
won’t work well for. It’s a good idea to double-check with your doctor,
chiropractor, osteopath, or physical therapist if you have any doubt or
concerns whether or not the suggestions will be appropriate for your
body at this time. Somatic Education is not meant to replace medical
supervision for serious conditions.
