Feldenkrais Method

This is a technique - influenced by yoga, martial arts and the Alexander technique - that aims to help you move with ease, using minimal effort and maximum efficiency. Teachers of the Feldenkrais method try to make you aware of your body movements, recognising amy tensions and correcting them by changing the way you move. They do this by teaching you simple exercises to change your habitual patterns of movement, and by using touch to direct you towards less stressful, and therefore less damaging, ways of moving your body. Teachers of this method claim that it can help people who are suffering from back pain, paralysis and the aftereffects of stroke.
