What is a Feldenkrais Treatment?
The Feldenkrais Method is a somatic educational system designed by Moshé Feldenkrais (1904–1984). It aims to reduce pain or limitations in movement, to improve physical function, and to promote general wellbeing by increasing students’ awareness of themselves and by expanding students’ movement repertoire.
Feldenkrais is used to improve habitual and repetitive movement patterns rather than to treat specific injuries or illnesses. However, because habitual and repetitive movement patterns can contribute towards and in some cases cause injury, pain, and physical dysfunction, the method is often regarded as falling within the field of integrative or complementary medicine. Moshé Feldenkrais asserted that his method improved functioning (health) by making individuals more aware: “What I am after is more flexible minds, not just more flexible bodies”.
