The essence of the Feldenkrais Method

The Feldenkrais work is a scientifically-based practical method, providing a code of communication between brain and body, turning potential into action through the synthesis of movement and cognitive awarenessmethod


The Feldenkrais Method is one of the most powerful applications available for developing and maximizing human potential.   It implements the use of combined brain functions and the nervous system, stimulating self-directed behaviour.   This process of learning how to use oneself more effectively, leads to improved performance, regardless of the original condition.   Over the past 50 years, it has benefited thousands of individuals, ranging from the physically challenged to renowned excelling performers.   To this end, it is the most essential and fundamental tool for self-fulfilment and healthy physical and mental growth.

The latest research indicates that physiological complaints share commonalities with other conditions such as cerebral palsy and autism, all of which appear to involve breakdowns of the brain's learning patterns. Through carefully directed sequences, the Feldenkrais Method implemented the principles of neuroplasticity (the ability of the brain to reorganize and rebuild behavioural and physiological patterns) in improving performance and overcoming injury.
