Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education
What is the Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education?
The Feldenkrais Method® is an educational system which uses movement to bring about improved function. It focuses on retraining your central nervous system to free you from your habitual patterns of moving, thinking, and feeling that can contribute to chronic distress and disease. Disrupting your neural pathways of habitual movement patterns allows your nervous system to explore new options of movement and to make internal adjustments accordingly. This will provide greater flexibility and range of motion in your body movements, which in turn allows greater function, less pain, and greater awareness of self. When we can move, think, or do something in a variety of ways, we have a greater ability to use the best movement option at any given moment, freeing ourselves of chronic pain, tension, and movement limitation.
