For Health Professionals

The Feldenkrais Method® is a method that uses the intelligence of the human nervous system and its ability to learn. The Feldenkrais Method develops sensory awareness by exploring movement and helps clients recognize habits of movement and posture. Increasing the awareness of habitual postures and movement patterns potentiates the ability to learn new options, developing better choices for movement that foster health and healing. Learning to use the body more intelligently can help reduce occupational injuries, falls, chronic pain and many symptoms associated with chronic diseases.

The Feldenkrais Method offers a safe and gentle way to improve movement capability. It teaches greater control and enjoyment of movement for clients of any age, ability, and level of mobility. The resultant learning generates significant preventative, rehabilitative and therapeutic outcomes. In particular, this approach is beneficial in people with joint or soft tissue pain, movement restriction or neurological impairment or deficit.
