About Soma + ELDOAᵀᴹ

Soma Training

Soma Training is a progressive wellness and recovery technique developed by world-renowned osteopath Guy Voyer over 35 years ago. Today it is used to treat acute and everyday back pain, progress athletic performance, decrease recovery time, and improve overall health and wellness.

Soma Training uses a variety of tools, including ELDOA and Myofascial stretching, tailored to the individual needs of the client.

ELDOA postural exercises

ELDOA postural exercises are designed to create space in the vertebrae of the spine, allowing the joints to hydrate and halt the inflammatory processes that results in back stiffness and pain. ELDOAs can also be used to treat the hips, shoulders and rib cage.

  • Improve posture

  • Relieve chronic and acute back pain

  • Increase spinal wellness

  • Increase strength and flexibility

  • Decrease recovery time

Myofascial stretches

Myofascial stretches are one of the safest and most effective ways to create freedom of movement and balance in the body. With Myofascial stretching, the goal is not to gain flexibility of a muscle, but to improve the quality of the movement of the tissues in relation to one another.
