The Feldenkrais Method by Feldenkrais in Sarasota

Posted by: Bonnie Kissam

The Feldenkrais Method®, developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., uses a systems approach to looking at movement. Using specific movement lessons performed with attention and intention, people of all ages  -- from young children to senior citizens, discover how to unlearn patterns that interfere with their ability to move efficiently and easily, and to learn new ways of acting that encourage fluid, effortless action.

A focus of attention and self-awareness while performing simple easy movements, supports the capacity to learn, change and move beyond one’s limitations in body and mind.  Certified Feldenkrais® Practitioners generally offer two kinds of sessions: an individual one on one session with guiding touch and support (essential for young children and those neurologically challenged) as well as group classes that focus on awareness of movement patterns and then through self-discovery, begin to sense and develop more functional ones . Both are designed to help you learn by sensing differences in any given action.

The Feldenkrais Method® has proven valuable for people who have been neurologically challenged from birth (cerebral palsy), disease (strokes) or accidents ( traumatic brain injury) , as well as for those wanting to refine and optimize human performance in sports and the arts – musicians, dancers and actors. It is known to be supportive rehabilitation to many with ongoing aches, pains or limitations in their backs, necks, feet, knees or hips in that they learn how to expand their capacities to perform daily activities in the home, office or leisure pursuits.
