The Feldenkrais Method

With decades of successful track record and current scientific validation, this work has helped many people with a vast variety of challenges, from special needs children, through common complaints such as spinal problems, to high level performers.

The secret to consistent improvement is the ability to tap into the limitless abilities inherent in the network of neurological connections between brain and body, so that they together create a cycle of learning and progress.

The brain gives the commands and sets up the entire physiological and neurological organisation.. We can detect in MRI’s and extensive studies now prove, that thoughts, ideas and internal process continuously re-shape and restructure both brain and body, particularly when given systematic and tangibly tangible tasks, thus leading to desired outcomes.

What this work can do for you:

  • Expand your abilities by working within your range of ease and excellence
  • Reprogram patterns of thinking by changing patterns of movement
  • Learn how to find, and use, a way that is best for your unique physiological-psychological system
  • Find the wealth of resources and knowledge within you and make it available for your use
  • Find the most direct path to experiencing the present and living more fully
  • Become master of your body and mind to find relief from pain and injury.

This comprehensive system of learning is a potent application of inherent physiological and cognitive abilities which are ready to be used, maximising the connection between brain functions and the nervous system, stimulating self-directed behaviour.

Through multiple processes, of learning to access untapped abilities, each person learns optimal self-use, improving performance and overcoming difficulties.

Over the past 50 years, this method has benefited thousands of individuals, from challenged and injured to renowned performers. It is, therefore, regarded as a fundamental tool for self-fulfilment and healthy physical and mental regeneration.

The latest research indicates that physiological complaints share commonalities with conditions which previously seemed strictly cognitive such as cerebral palsy and autism. We now know that, in all conditions, physiological and brain function reflect and affect each other. The breakthrough is that they all appear to involve breakdowns of the brain's learning patterns. Through carefully directed sequences, we implemented the principles of neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to reorganise and rebuild behavioural and physiological patterns) in improving performance and overcoming pain and injury.
