One of my clients found me in Sarasota because he was lucky enough to have had a physical therapist  who was also a Feldenkrais® Practitioner.  Since major neck surgery he had had trouble with his balance.  I was able to support his rehabilitation through heightening his body/movement awareness.  We did many basic movements which at times emphasized use of his pelvis, his feet, his ribs and his shoulders or arms.  All combined to clarify where he was in space which gave him better balance, posture and gait.

 Science agrees that body/movement awareness is a necessary part of the rehabilitation process.
