What is the Feldenkrais Method?

The Feldenkrais Method was developed in Israel, and named after its inventor Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904–1984).

It revolves around a unique approach to learning through movement, based on Neurological, Physical, and Bio-Mechanical principles. These principles, accompanied by a deep understanding of what makes us — as human beings — develop and learn, is what makes the Feldenkrais Method a revolutionary technique that merges both the physical and the psychological needs of individuals.

As we go through this world, each of us develops our unique habits when it comes to the way we move. These habits are acquired through life experience and our self-image. Some of these habits may be good, but others can limit us – causing our bodies pain and physical damage, without us even being conscious of it happening.

By increasing our potential to move, we can free ourselves of damaging habits, and choose our movements in a way that best suits our day-to-day activities. People who have been treated using the Feldenkrais Method notice an almost immediate change in their everyday lives. From straightforward things like improved posture, and easier breathing, to broader, overall sensations such as feeling more comfortable in their own skin, a feeling of lightness, and a general improvement to their emotional, physical and mental well-being.
