Feldenkrais and seniors

Tags: 

At the age of 75, I was diagnosed with the rigid form of Parkinsons’ disease. I wasn’t in pain but I was getting very slow and stiff, and shuffling my feet as I walked. On my daughters’ recommendation, I started going to my local practitioner for some Feldenkrais lessons.

The Method has helped to straighten me up, pick up my feet and improve my balance. I wake with dreadful headaches and the lessons help that too. My movements are so much more flexible so my daily routines are easier. I can even put my pants on without hanging on to anything!

What a gift, I’m so amazed with the changes in my skeletal frame. After the first visit, I felt so emotional, I didn’t believe I would ever stand so tall and straight. The amazing part, it appeared to me, was to take such gentle and little movement, but done with such skill.

I am very pleased to write and thank you, [ed: practioner] for introducing me to the Feldenkrais Method of flexibility in movement. I have been using alternative therapies on my spine and general health for 30 years, as I choose not to use pain medication and surgery when there are other less invasory modalities. Since I became one of your students, I have ceased chiropractic treatments, anti-inflammatory regimes and most pain relief. I am an adult educator and often stand all day, and now I do this without pain and restriction.
