Internationally recognized, the method is built on decades of research in physics, biomechanics, learning theory, and human development. The Feldenkrais Method works for everybody--regardless of age and physical ability. Not a medical diagnosis or treatment, the Feldenkrais Method allows you to learn new ways of experiencing your self-organization and self-image through the use of gentle movement sequences along with their sensory, emotional, and mental dimensions. It's an educational model that offers tremendous benefits to those who suffer from occasional aches and pains or those whose movements are limited by accident, injury, or age. Doctors, physical therapists, and other medical practitioners refer people to the Feldenkrais Method, knowing that it is gentle, safe, and beneficial.

Smithsonian Magazine reported that the method teaches "subtle exercises that appear to help invalids, athletes and everyone else to function at a higher level".

CBS News reported that the method "teaches the importance of posture and body movement" and can help you avoid the "surgical knife" for ongoing pain.

Andrew Weil wrote, "I have long been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I currently recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain....I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method can help older people achieve greater range of motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies."

Margaret Mead wrote, "This is the most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention and reversal of deterioration of function."

Science Digest reported that "The Feldenkrais Method has had remarkable success in a range of chronic complaints ranging from the debilitating, such as cerebral palsy or paralysis, to the merely nagging, such as stiff necks, tension headaches or the blahs."

The Feldenkrais Method is taught in two different ways:

Functional Integration^® (FI) consists of private sessions for individuals. During FI sessions you remain comfortably dressed. The lessons are usually performed with you lying down but sometimes they take place in sitting or standing. Through gentle touch and sometimes verbal cues, you'll explore new ways to achieve optimal neuromuscular organization.
