Anagha Agte, Certified Clinical Somatic EducatorI've traveled a very interesting path in life. In my teen years, I was an avid hiker in Sahyandri mountain ranges and twice climbing the Himalayas in India. After receiving my Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree in Physics I taught Physics at the college level. After moving to USA in 1999 and I began working on my 2nd Masters Degree for Electrical and Computer Engineering. While working on my final project my interests in life began changing....
My final project was in the field of Storage Systems and MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems). During this time I was fascinated by the MEMS applications in the medical field and eager to learn all I could about technology related to medical science. |
As life took its' twists and turns I was introduced to alternative therapy which included Foot Reflexology, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Svaroopa Yoga and Energy Work. While I was exploring Cranio-Sacral Therapy, I discovered the book, Body of Life, by Dr. Thomas Hanna.
During this time, I was living with excruciating chronic pain for almost a year including sciatica, sacro-iliac joint, lower back and hip pain and soon after began experiencing pain in the upper back. My active sports life, as well as cooking, loading the dishwasher, getting out of bed, even walking was agonizing. I tried all of the alternative therapies listed above and they provided partial relief for only a day or two. Then I started a series of exercises taught by Dr. Hanna, my upper back pain disappeared in less than 4 hours and never returned. This was a huge confirmation that Somatics would be the only solution for chronic pain. I have since become pain free. Now I am able to return to the flexibility of my college days and climbing the mountains again. Somatics brought many aspects of my life together and I found my true passion is expelling chronic pain for others.
I know from my own experience how debilitating chronic pain can put your life on hold and I know that it is possible to get out of it. It is a matter of how you put together the pieces of a puzzle.
I am a graduate of Somatics Systems Institute, Northampton, MA.
