So how do we do it ?
We work with a science-based method called Somatic Movement Education (SME). This is a pain free treatment which is personalized to your needs. It’s not a short term solution. It’s a long term cure. We teach you to understand what’s causing your pain and offer you lasting solutions to get you back in action. Although Somatics is relatively new to Ireland, it is an established well recognised practice in the US.
We lead you through a sequence of simple movements to help focus your brain on areas of pain and unconscious tension. Once your brain becomes aware of where your body is tight and contracted, we coach you to release your muscles through specific guided movement. Helping you to re-align the ‘software’ rather than the ‘hardware’ gets your body back under your control. The scientific term for this is Neuromuscular Reprogramming. Neuro refers to nerves and muscular refers to muscles.
Somatics is for everybody, regardless of age, fitness level or physical condition. It is often the first breakthrough many of our clients have in finding a real solution to their problems.
At Align, you’re in safe hands. We have a 90% success rate. We are qualified, experienced healthcare professionals. Align guarantees a reduction in pain within 5 sessions or your money back. We also offer you a free 15 minute consultation.

What People are Saying About Us
Dr Peter Labanyi, Psychotherapist, Greystones
“During more than ten years of chronic and sometimes very intense shoulder pain, I have tried many approaches, including rolfing, acupuncture, deep tissue work, physiotherapy, osteopathy, sports massage, and a lot of painkillers. None of them brought lasting relief or benefits. Somatics, however, has. This is because it seems to work directly on the control centres of the bodymind rather than merely on muscular symptoms. It is the subtlest, deepest and most integrated body therapy I have experienced.”
Terezita Donohoe, Ballroom Dancer
“SOMATICS really does work ! I really did not believe that something so simple could improve my quality of life so much. For years the most important item in my handbag was my packet of painkillers. Now I carry them as a safety net. Until Somatics my life was constant pain, broken sleep, crying the night away with pain and frustration. Now I do 10–15 minutes gentle exercise every day. This routine helps keep me pain free and able to enjoy life. When you are in pain – the only way is up !”
Ian McGlynn, Radio Production Co-ordinator
“After just a few short classes, my early morning lower-back pain became a thing of the past. I now feel stronger and more flexible – but wish that I had known about somatics years ago.”
Andrew Pilaro, Chairman, CAP Advisers
“I have had lower back problems for a long time and I have been to chiropractors, physios and osteopaths. Somatics is a very straight forward way to look at the issue of getting the proper body parts to the tasks they are designed for. When I finish a session with Lisa and she asks “how is your back?”, my reply is “I don’t feel my back”, and it is wonderful.”
Ian Scott, Academic and consultant
“I have been suffering with chronic lower back pain for over 4 years. In my search for relief I have worked with numerous chiroprators and pilates specialists around the world. It was with some skepticism and desperation that I started with somatic private classes after finally being diagnosed with arthritis in my lower back. Within 5 sessions I have removed virtually all pain and have a range of movement that I though would be impossible.”
