Recovery through movement
SERVICES
About Rae Martin
When working with people who have pain or problems with how they move, I like to know that when they leave they have learned a great deal more about how to relieve the symptoms, should they occur again.
This educational approach takes time, yet it is gentle and powerful because the nervous system is learning new patterns to achieve the same thing, and a whole lot more.
With a background of physiotherapy since 1981, the Feldenkrais Model allows for a more creative way of working to ensure an improvement in symptoms as well as an overall understanding of how to move with more ease and grace. This applies to a severely handicapped person just as it applies to a high level athlete.
I enjoy having the capacity to improve the quality of any kind of movement as the application of this Method is enormous. Even our breathing, hearing and eyesight, and the peristaltic contractions of our intestinal digestive system, can be fine- tuned. There are many such aspects to our health and well being that we can gain more understanding about, and thereby control. This knowledge, when it is not just intellectual but sensory motor, can have a profound effect on our potential to live the kind of life we want.
After completing the Feldenkrais Training ( over four years) in 1991 I have concentrated on this approach and my passion for it is still growing.
The interest I have had in hydrotherapy and swimming started more than 30 years ago when teaching disabled children to swim. The change that occurs in the self image of the person who acquires a new skill, especially one that offers hours of fun and pleasure filled moving, makes for a life time of involvement in this kind of work…. And hence the making of this CD.
This year I will be conducting:
- Workshops for Improving Swimming, and independence in the water;
- Bones for Life ( a specific Feldenkrais program for improving mobility with ageing) and;
- Private sessions in Margaret River and Cottesloe, by appointment.
