Benefits
alt“I have long been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I currently recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain...I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method® can help older people achieve greater range of  motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies.”  – Dr. Andrew Weil
