Hi everyone, I am newer to the Soma Flow Journey. Very excited and grateful to be here. Going to drop a few questions here. First Scenario: I was working on someone with what seemed to be a sciatica issue. I worked on him and he had a bit of relief but he informed me that the next day he did some abrupt jerking motion with his head and it threw him out of whack again so I sent him over to @Dana Hubbard to get him right :). This was my first time working on someone with a nerve issue but I had an intuitive hunch and explained to him that it took a while for him to get here on the pain scale so it might take a while to repair also. After consulting with Glenn and Dana they both confirmed that hunch. Question: I'm sure this is not a one size fits all question but I am curious, if there is pain stemming from the nerves, how do you approach the body in that case? More gently? How long does it typically take to see significant relief? Second Scenario: I was set to work on someone who recently hyperextended his elbow. He was in a lot of pain and was a little trepidatious but he agreed to let me help him. He then went to an orthopedist and decided against Soma Flow at the behest of his doctor who encouraged him to rest it. It's a shame I didn't get to work on him because I was pretty confident in my ability to help as well as learn, but alas. It did make me curious. Question: When someone has a strain/sprain or any type of acute injury that is painful to the touch, how do you approach it without making them feel uncomfortable or like you are hurting them more? Do you just go more gentle? Smaller motions or more sweeping? At what point does the person need to let it the injury fully heal and then come back? Or are there any injuries you as practitioners prefer to not touch until the person feels more comfortable? I appreciate any insight. Thank you! Khyelle

When you are rolling out someone's hamstrings, which blade of which foot should you use on each leg? I've seen you do both Glenn? Does it matter and/or do they have different effects?

Hi all you amazing healers. I have a question. What do you do to take care of yourself before you start the day healing others? For me. It is Qigong and Tai Chi in the early morning hours. It brings refreshing, vitality energy to the whole body. Proper Alignments to my joints, flexibility, and a deeper focus awareness to my core. We would love to hear what you do?

🤪One of the things I do to avoid burnout in my craft is read anything that is related to my profession. 🎓If it's about how best to communicate with my clients, (This morning was Nonviolent Communication by Rosenberg💯) to Anatomy trains, to marketing and sales. What’s a book or video that really inspires you?🤓
