🤔 What is Feldenkrais?
Feldenkrais is a somatic movement method, named after it's founder Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais & is designed to enhance your body awareness, reduce discomfort, and promote better posture and flexibility. It is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you suffer from back pain, neck tension, or simply want to enhance your overall physical function, this method offers a practical approach to self-improvement.

🤔 How does Feldenkrais help with PAIN?
Feldenkrais helps with pain by improving body awareness, changing movement patterns, and promoting relaxation. It gently guides individuals to rediscover their natural movement patterns, reducing reliance on compensatory ones that may contribute to pain.

🤔 What is Functional Integration?
Functional integration is a hands-on approach that uses gentle touch and verbal guidance to help people learn new ways of moving and improve their body awareness. It was developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, a physicist and engineer who turned his attention to the study of movement and learning. Feldenkrais believed that we all have the potential to move more freely and efficiently, but that our patterns of movement can become stuck or habitual over time. Functional integration helps us to break free from these patterns and create new, more fluid and comfortable ways of moving.
🤔What does a Functional Integration session look like?
A typical functional integration session takes place on a table or mat. The practitioner will gently guide you through a series of movements, using touch to help you explore new ways of moving. The movements are typically slow and subtle, and they are designed to be relaxing and enjoyable.
🤔What are the benefits of a Functional Integration session?
Functional integration has been shown to be effective for a variety of conditions, including pain, posture, balance, coordination, flexibility, motor control, and performance improvement. It is safe and effective for people of all ages and fitness levels, and it is particularly beneficial for those seeking a non-invasive way to improve their movement and well-being.
