Understanding Segmental and Somatic Dysfunction

In the realm of physical therapy, the term segmental and somatic dysfunction represents conditions where altered function of the musculoskeletal system (comprising spine, joints, and myofascial structures) may lead to decreased range of motion, local tenderness, and tissue texture changes.

The Relationship Between Somatic Dysfunction and Mental Health

Emerging research elucidates the profound connection between somatic dysfunction and mental health. Human emotions and physical conditions are not isolated – they influence his thoughts, feelings, behavior, and overall mental well-being. Our team at the AURA Institute focuses on this intimate connection and provides comprehensive training to identify and address anomalies arising from somatic dysfunction.

"The body does not differentiate between physical and psychological threats; it's all just stress. And stress stored in the body can manifest as somatic symptoms which can deeply affect an individual's mental health."

Recognizing Somatic Symptoms in Mental Health Disorders

Segmental and somatic dysfunctions can correlate with certain mental health conditions. For instance, patients with depression often report myofascial pain and chronic fatigue. Similarly, individuals suffering from anxiety disorders may manifest physical signs like rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath.
