Benefits of the Feldenkrais Method

A Gentle, Effective Approach to Well-Being

Because the efficient functioning of the nervous system — revealed in improved posture — is so fundamental to our health, the benefits of the Feldenkrais Method are widespread. The movements employed are slow and subtle, avoiding extremes, making the method suitable for people unable to handle more strenuous bodywork methods.

Key Benefits

Pain Relief

Relief from chronic muscle tension and spasms, and effective help for conditions such as Repetitive Strain Injury, sciatica, and work-related back and neck pain.

Stress Reduction

Learn to release long-term, chronic muscle tensions and reduce the physical effects of stress and anxiety.

Improved Posture & Movement

Discover more efficient, flexible ways of moving and organising yourself, improving posture, agility and grace.

Better Breathing

Improve breathing capacity and coordination, which is particularly valuable for performers and singers.

Increased Energy

Release the effort of habitual tension and move with greater ease, leaving you with more energy for life.

Learning How to Learn

Develop the mental flexibility that allows for true creativity and continuing self-expansion — a skill for life.

Helpful for Many Conditions

Because the work involves hands-on stimulation of the nervous system, via the skeleton, it is effective for serious conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebellar Palsy and Parkinson’s Disease — not by providing a “cure”, but by making everyday life easier and less painful. It is particularly ideal for locating and eradicating the causes of Repetitive Strain Injury (R.S.I.).
