Evi Hofmann

Evi attended a three-year fulltime training at the Loheland Gymnastic Academy for therapeutic movement and massage in Germany and graduated as a state-certified gymnastics teacher. She also studied Clinical Somatic Education at the Somatic Systems Institute in Northampton, Massachusetts, and graduated as a Certified Clinical Somatic Educator. She also studied with Dr. Helga Pohl who developed Sensory Motor Body Therapy.

Evi's Pain Release Therapy integrates various innovative methods for working with your individual needs and pain condition. All methods work with the sensorimotor nervous system to release tight tissues and to enhance body awareness and control. Evi focuses on helping clients regain enjoyable, functional ease of movement no matter what age or fitness level they may be. The exercises and hands-on private sessions are also very suitable for seniors and people recovering from injury, surgery, or trauma.

She works holistically and addresses your particular posture and pattern of muscle holding by working with you with guided hands-on movements releasing one tight muscle/joint region after another that had caused pain and limited movement. Since you are actively participating and your brain, the master controller, is being given new sensory input with each movement, changes can happen quickly and immediately. Tight muscles that you could not release voluntarily come again under your voluntary control.

To ensure lasting success, Evi assists you through body awareness training to stay pain-free and flexible. You will also be taught simple self-care movements tailored to your needs to do at home that will reinforce what you have learned. You should wear comfortable, loose clothing for the sessions to be able to move freely.

The first session usually lasts about an hour and a half as it includes the initial assessment. Subsequent sessions are usually about an hour or an hour and a half depending on the needs of the client.
