Great for serious movement enthusiasts
I’ve been practicing somatic exercises for a while, and this book really takes things to the next level. The techniques are advanced, but they’re explained clearly, so it doesn’t feel intimidating. I've noticed a significant improvement in my flexibility and overall body awareness. The exercises feel great and actually help me work through tension in areas I didn’t even realize were tight. If you’re already into somatic work and want to deepen your practice, this is definitely worth it!

Exercise for our health
We all dream of reducing pain, and I am glad this audiobook exists so it can transform my life. It will require effect with the step-by-step instructions given by someone who has experienced it. I learned that some people have back pain because they bend their backs too much, and to prevent this, we need to bend our knees, not our backs, and to keep our backs as straight as possible. It’s an excellent audiobook for home reference whenever we need it. There are so many things in this audiobook that I recommend people to listen to. The narrator fits the author's expectation.

Move Freely Again Without Pain!
This is a very comprehensive audiobook that covers all things exercise. The chapters are easily broken down and very descriptive of how to perform each exercise. This book could work for beginners interested in this area but it's geared more toward those who already have a firm understanding of somatic exercises.
The chapter on lower back relief is excellent. I have always suffered from lower back pain and as I continue to do the recommended exercises, I'm sure I'll be feeling better soon. Love that this audiobook comes with the PDF copy as well!

Sounds like it can be useful
I’m new to this and stumbled upon it while trying to become more fit and decrease post surgical pain. As I said in my title, it sounds like it could be useful with my limited exposure and mobility lol. I’m recovering from a major surgery and I just feel like a blob so someone recommended this book and I’m glad they did. Hopefully I can use some of what has been described to ease some of my post surgical pain and increase my mobility.

More Than Just Stretching
You might think you know somatic exercises, but this book takes things further in a way that actually makes a difference. It’s not just about doing movements, it’s about understanding how they work in your body. What I liked best was the clear breakdown of techniques and why they matter, so you’re not just following along blindly. If you want to move better and feel better without gimmicks or vague advice, this is absolutely worth your time.
