Feel SOMA Knee Program
Knee movement is central to human locomotion and overall well-being. Far more than a simple hinge, the knee integrates dynamically with both the ankle and pelvis, influencing balance, strength, mobility, and resilience.
At Feel SOMA, we take a comprehensive reconditioning approach. Rather than isolating a single tissue as the source of discomfort, we consider the entire system — nerves, muscles, fascia, bone, skin, blood, and lymph. This inclusive method honours the interconnected nature of the body, emphasising neural communication, fluid flow, and mechanical patterns.
Our approach combines self-care applications (rollers, balls), guided Fascial Mobilisers, and multi-directional strength drills. Instead of relying on stretching alone, we restore natural movement by encouraging tissues to reset, integrate, and adapt.
The knee’s role extends beyond mechanical function — it influences athletic performance, daily efficiency, lymphatic and blood flow and even emotional well-being. By appreciating its connection to the ankle and pelvis, Feel SOMA provides practical strategies for healthier, more adaptable movement patterns.
Program Guide
- Duration – 30-45 minutes.
- When – Before, during, or after sessions. Suitable for any environment.
- Flow – Treat both sides of the body, then repeat on the more restricted side.
- Terminology – Feel SOMA uses innovative language and techniques. Simply follow the videos and coaching cues.
Techniques
- SOE (Self Osteo Engagement): Roll on bony sections – max 30s.
- SME (Self Myofascial Engagement): Roll on muscular sections – 60–90s.
- Wall vs Floor: Choose wall (standing) or floor (lying), whichever is more comfortable to use roller.
- SFM (Self Fascial Mobilisers): Low force, low speed motion to reconnect myofascial tissues. They are everyday movement patterns, not stretches – 45–60s each.
Strength Integration
- Perform 2 sets × 45s per exercise, using comfortable weight.
- Increase as required
Key Reminders
- Breathe diaphragmatically throughout movement— breath drives tissue adaptation.
- Focus on rhythm and timing in movement — nothing forced.
- Follow the videos until confident independently.
- Complete the full program 3–5 times before varying and choosing most effective protocols.
