Change Why the Problem is Happening


The root issue isn’t just pain or discomfort
—it’s deeply ingrained tension patterns.

The problems you experience, whether it’s a sore back, a stiff neck, or tight shoulders, are the boiling over.
Beneath these symptoms are automatic, deeply learned muscle patterns that your nervous system is running without your awareness. The problem is too much tension.


A New Approach

Rather than just treating the surface issues, The Eric Cooper Somatics Method teaches you how to
address the hidden full-body tension patterns that drive these local pains and dysfunctions.


Uncover and Release

Address the root causes, to improve your:

  • Back Pain and Stiffness
    Address hyperlordosis, anterior pelvic rotation, and disc compression by regaining control over your back muscles. Teach front and side muscles, too. All the tension contributes to the problem.
  • Postural Distortion
    De-escalcate the hidden global tension patterns that bend you out of shape.
  • Scoliosis and Asymmetrical Postures and Pain Expressions
    Significant relief and self-maintenance strategies for tensions that bend you.
  • Rounded Shoulder, Depressed Chest Postures
    Reverse the habitual contractions that pull you into this posture.


What Does This Look Like in Real Life?

Imagine being able to move freely, to breathe deeply, and to feel at ease in your own body
—strong where you need it, relaxed when you don’t.
Restore your ability to feel calm.


Transform your relationship with your body.

The following are just a few examples of conditions that have shown improvement:

  • Fibromyalgia
    Specific movement sequences calm your system without triggering a pain response.
  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
    Release the persistent high-idle muscle tension patterns that drain your energy.
  • Neck Pain and Whiplash Recovery
    Reduce involuntary contractions that contribute to chronic neck pain.
  • Hip Pain, Sacrum Issues, and Sciatica
    Free your hips and sacrum from the tension strategies that lock them in pain.
  • Shoulder Pain, Frozen Shoulder, and Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)
    Restore shoulder movement and alleviate nerve impingement that causes arm and hand numbness.

The method addresses many issues beyond muscular pain.


This Method Can Improve:

  • Jaw Pain, TMJ Dysfunction, and Facial Pain
  • Knee Pain
  • Foot Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
  • Shoulder Constriction and Elbow Pain
  • Wrist Pain, Hand Pain, and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    Free up tight muscles and improve circulation to alleviate pain and restore function.
  • Easier Breathing
  • Better Sleep
    Calm your nervous system to reduce the underlying tensions that disrupts restful sleep.
  • Gait Imbalance
    Correct tension patterns that cause difficulty in walking, lurching to the side in walking, pain in walking..


Move Beyond the Tension

These issues aren’t just physical—they shape how you live. By retraining your nervous system, you’re not just managing symptoms—you’ve restored an easier balance. Be empowered to change the course of your ship. Re-discover your vitality.


With the right movements, you can unlock how you are stuck.
