About the Feldenkrais MethodWho was Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais?He was the originator of the Method. Moshe was born in Russia in 1904 and spent much of his life in Israel and Europe. He graduated from the Sorbonne with a Doctorate in Applied Physics. A judo black belt, he was instrumental in introducing this martial art to the Western world. A severe knee injury sustained while playing soccer, provided the impetus which led him to a lifetime study of the structure and function of the human nervous system and the relationship between human development, education and movement.
