Integrated Somatic Release Therapy
A holistic and innovative program designed to address chronic pain rooted in unresolved trauma — for people whose pain hasn't fully responded to traditional medical or physical treatment.
Why verbal processing isn't always necessary
When trauma happens, it often bypasses the logical, language-based part of the brain — the prefrontal cortex — and imprints instead in the body and nervous system: in sensations, reflexes, and implicit memory.
Talking about the trauma often doesn't reach the part of the brain and body where the trauma is actually held.
Retelling reactivates the memory, which can produce distress rather than resolution.
Analysis can substitute for safety — instead of helping the body feel safe again.
Somatic healing takes the opposite approach — it focuses on what the body is saying, not what the mind can describe.
The collaboration
Over 45 years of experience specializing in chronic and injury-related pain. Mike combines the best of medical massage, somatic therapy, shockwave and cold laser treatments, physical therapy, and energy healing — strategically integrated with Melissa's clinical work.
This program is ideal for individuals living with persistent pain that hasn't fully responded to traditional medical or physical treatments, particularly when that pain may stem from emotional or trauma-based origins.
By treating body and mind together, Integrated Somatic Release Therapy helps release what the body holds — and restore balance, strength, and relief from within.
