Over years, small inefficiencies in how we move take their toll. One area overworks while another stiffens and eventually something somewhere starts to complain. The imbalances they cause can also make us more vulnerable to injury. when accidents happen.
The Feldenkrais Method® helps us to notice these patterns and develop more efficient alternatives. And it does this organically, without us having to consciously correct ourselves.
Rather than stretching or strengthening a problem spot, we learn to distribute effort through our whole selves so that no single part is made vulnerable or stressed to breaking point.
Learning to steer away from trouble
- We learn to recognise and avoid hidden habits that cause us pain
- Distributing movement throughout ourselves develops ease and resilience
- Quietening our nervous system often lessens chronic pain
- Many people find chronic pain becomes more manageable
- By focusing on moving comfortably we recover our sense of power
- We develop strategies to move more comfortably in our everyday lives
- We gain the confidence to move freely again
- Our work complements good medical care
