The Feldenkrais® Method

Developed over 40 years of research by Israeli physicist, engineer and Judo master Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, this unique learning system is for anyone who wants to live more fully, efficiently and comfortably e.g.

Office workers: improve posture, reduce tension from sitting for long periods
Sports people - improve power and performance, prevent injury
Martial arts - improve rolling / kicking efficiency and stamina
Builders - reduce back pain
Hip replacement - regain normal walking patterns
Back/neck pain - find relief
Older people - improve mobility and balance

Anyone, of any age and fitness level can learn to function more efficiently, improving flexibility, range of movement, balance, coordination, power, breathing, voice....

Relieves pain and stress. Helps recovery from injury or surgery e.g. hip replacement.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Expands on brain patterns that monitor and control movement
Movement lessons (group or 1-1) are used to facilitate learning
Unravels inefficient habits accumulated over a lifetime
Improves skeletal alignment
Re-distributes muscular work more efficiently
Improve balances
Based on science - physics, learning, brain adaptability

TESTIMONIAL:
"Feldenkrais fixed the shoulder problem that had eluded physio for years. I'm now kayaking better ..with more power, and my posture and aikido have both improved beyond recognition" - Conrad Edwards, mathematician

Dr. Norman Doidge, author of "The Brain That Changes Itself" wrote:
Instead of attacking bad postural habits directly (which often only makes them get worse), the master practitioner finds ingenious ways to release the bad habits. (National Post, 6 Oct 1999)
