Release of Tension Due to Injury or Trauma
When injuries to the body are as a result of impact, muscles around the site reflexively contract to protect you from the trauma. If the trauma is physically or emotionally significant, the shock to the body may result in the protective muscular contraction becoming habituated. Our brain behaves as if the injury is still happening and we develop what is known in Somatics as Sensory Motor Amnesia. This body–brain disconnect causes us to forget how to sense and move our muscles. Somatics Gentle Body Movement Classes re-educate the brain to release muscular tension and relax muscles back to their correct resting length without discomfort or painful stretching.
Hearing Aids vs Hearing Amplifiers?
Thinking about choosing a hearing amplifier to correct your hearing loss? A hearing amplifier cannot be compared directly with a hearing aid. Hearing amplifiers feature a microphone and an amplifier. In terms of structure and shape they are very similar to conventional hearing aids. However, they only increase the volume of sound and cannot be adapted to your individual hearing loss or personal preferences. Hearing amplifiers are not prescribed by doctors and are usually purchased without specialist advice. Hearing Care professionals recommend hearing aids for those affected by hearing loss and will help you take your first steps towards better hearing.

Laughter is the Goal
If you are looking for serious themes and messages in a theatrical production, keep looking. In the upcoming Norm Foster comedy “Self Help”, laughter is the goal. Norm Foster is considered the most produced playwright in Canada’s history. Differentiated from a comedy, a farce is a light, humorous play in which the plot depends upon a skillfully exploited situation rather than upon the development of character.
