On April 4th, the Soma System team is heading to the Pine Tree State (aka Maine) to present at the University of New England’s eleventh annual free spring symposium: The Science of Pain and the Art of Healing. Just trying to identify highlights is difficult because so many of the sessions look great. Students Lindsay St. Louis and Kristen Brusky will be presenting video case narratives from the Chronic Pain Support Group of Southern Maine. Osteopaths Joshua Iannetta and John Pellitier will be talking about myofascial pain trigger points. Other topics include painkiller addiction, pain state measurement, art therapy, and mirror therapy. And we’ll be there too discussing and demonstrating Soma System.

Ac., ATC, CSCS, all UNEAn interprofessional discussion and demonstration of the value self-bodywork can bring to clinical settings both as a self-care method for clinicians as well as patient-centered adjunct manual therapy treatment. An evidence-based presentation of the effect myofascial tightness has on physical and mental health followed by a hands-on demonstration of techniques to mindfully reduce restriction, dissolve adhesions, and reintroduce blood and nutrients to regions that are tense or in spasm.
We just found out that our breakout session is full. This is good news because it indicates people are interested, but it’s lousy if you are one of the individuals who got shut out. Email us or reply to this blog post if that’s your case, and we’ll send you our notes and any handouts from the session.
Learn more about the spring symposium–did we mention it’s free??–on the symposium’s website or view the IPE Symposium Sessions PDF.
