Feldenkrais

The Feldenkrais Method teaches, through gentle, non-invasive movement, how we can improve our capabilities to function in our daily lives. This is achieved by the adaptability of our nervous system.

Feldenkrais frees the body, not by stretching exercises or aerobics, but by somatic learning (the body experienced from within). The exercises are precisely programmed movement patterns to stimulate the brain’s release of muscular tightness and pain that has resisted all other efforts and techniques.

Feldenkrais teachers usually find, upon examination of people with bad backs, that it’s a conditioning problem and not a medical one. In reality the sufferer has back muscles in a painful state of tension that predisposes them to muscle spasms.

The bad news is that your muscles are out of control, but the good news is that your muscles obey your brain, and your brain can be retrained – by the Feldenkrais Method.
