Felden What??
The Feldenkrais Method ® is a way to learn to understand your body and how it is designed to be moved and used. Feldenkrais is an education rather than a therapy or exercise programme. All classes workshops include Awareness Through Movement ® lessons in The Feldenkrais Method ® which are gentle movement sequences, as well as other movement related information, handouts and tips.
Named after its founder Moshe Feldenkrais, the method is a very subtle and non-intrusive way for you to alter the way you move so that there is less stress on your body.
The Feldenkrais Method can open up neural pathways that are not currently being utilised. It can be used in combination with other exercise regimes or by itself.
The Feldenkrais Method is being used successfully by people with work related stresses, RSI, headaches, extreme sports injuries, arthritis and stiffness from age. In fact you don't have to have an injury - anyone can benefit from doing these simple lessons. Whatever's happening to you, you're going to feel it in your body. so the body is a great place to start the reversal.
It is suited to all ages and is fast becoming the preferred treatment for the person who wants some help to change her or his quality of movement.
