The Freedom To Run
"Before I saw Ryan Moschell I had lost 3 vacations and interrupted another because of severe low back pain. At its worst, I had trouble getting dressed, even needed help getting out of bed. I came upon Somatic Education with an internet search. I did some Somatic movements with some success and then I looked around for a practitioner and found Ryan.
I only had one in person session with Ryan before the Covid-19 restrictions. I was amazed at how he helped me to discover my limiting patterns and begin to free them. Since we could not meet in person, I decided to try the online sessions. I had my doubts at first, but was pleasantly surprised at how much we could get accomplished on video. Ryan is very observant, perceptive and comes up with movements and strategies that address my individual concerns.
In between online classes and sessions, I do my movements daily. Doing my movements at home doesn't take me much time. It feels good to explore the movements on my own, using Ryan's comments as a guide.
What has begun to emerge from my lessons with Ryan is much more than pain relief and care. I am starting to move more fluidly. I had all but given up on one of my favorite activities..running. I hadn't run for 25 years. At 76 years I have started to discover running again!!!
From what I have experienced Ryan understands anatomy and movement very deeply. He can identify patterns that are limiting, both in person and on video. What I think is so unique is that he wants his students to discover what is going on in their own bodies/minds/soma for themselves. Then together we come up with a specific plan to address those problems and concerns. Thank you Ryan."
