The Eric Cooper Method grew out of the ineffectiveness of Traditional Somatics. There needed to be a better way. A method that fits the real ways that people are stuck. I built a modality that is designed to adapt to each unique person.

My method addresses the confusion the nervous system develops as it adapts to difficulties of life.
As the system normalizes a lifetime of  tension reactions there is a loss the dynamic nature of bodily space.
I have multiple assessment methods that allow a practitioner to help the client find the hidden root holdings and how to address them.

This new Somatics is a different way of seeing  the problem. People do not fit into the 3 surface-tension patterns of traditional Somatics. The new method needed to address the real patterns that people are stuck in. There are at least 10 strategies, including The Inner-X Lines (in the sagittal and coronal planes, as well as the oblique lines in between), The Parallelogram Pattern, The Pendulum Pattern, The Triple Bend, Rotational Patterns, etc.
The Eric Cooper Method addresses every combination of spatial distortion that I have seen in my clients in the last 3 years. The system get’s stuck in persistent tension. These deep tension holding patterns all are unified as expressions of one deeper strategy.

The quality of the nervous system, to make and to perpetuate tension habits, requires a method that creates a deeper learning potential in how the movements are done.

I have developed more targeted, and more adaptive movements than Hanna. And I use some of his, too. I don’t teach the Back Lift and I almost never teach Arch and Flatten, for numerous reasons.

Some people need the method to be very gentle, and other need very powerful movements to make the experience of the movement more vivid and educational. I created a more adaptive method.

My method strives to be truly Somatic.  Traditional Somatics is often mechanical and anatomical. The brain doesn’t see the body that way. I have developed a more somatic Somatics.
