“I can testify both private lessons and group classes (which provide different ways of looking at the same material) as benefiting in how I use my whole bodily system. I began with serious issues in my back and shoulders and though I will probably never understand how it works, I no longer have serious problems in those areas. If I re-injure those areas, I now know things I can do to bring myself back to health. An overall benefit has been to increase my sense of balance.
Probably the most telling testimony is that my husband has asked that I continue the classes, because he has seen great benefits in the ways I move more efficiently and the lessening muscle pain.”
“I have participated in Feldenkrais classes for about a year. I have not figured out how they work. I just feel better. The classes also have increased my awareness that perhaps I can make difference choices in many aspects of my life.”
“Today I picked up 200+ flyers and brought them home to write the time of an event on each of them. About half way through the writing, my right shoulder began aching. I wrote the added information a couple more times and my shoulder ached more.
“The Feldenkrais question, 'How can I use my body better in doing this task?' came to mind. I repositioned the remaining pile of flyers and moved my arm and hand ever so slightly. "No shoulder pain for the rest of the writing.
“I can witness to the fact that the movement sessions under your guidance have taught me to use my body better, remembering that old habits may appear easier in practice and yet they may stress the body. The movement sessions help me remember this and they teach me healthy, more efficient alternatives.”
“I became interested in body awareness because an automobile accident had left me with pain in my neck and stiffness in my joints. From these sessions, I have become pain free, and limber feeling. I just feel better. My doctor recently said, 'Whatever you have been doing, keep on doing it--you are much improved.'”
“Feldenkrais has helped me recover more options in movement in my life on many levels, including the physical, mental and psychological. It is assisting my body to 're-member' itself.”
“I have been able to gain more mobility and thus more freedom to move how and where I want. Changes have lasted and seem to build on one another, promoting overall health. I would recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn how to move painlessly.”
“Embarking on a vigorous exercise program more than a year ago, I was having a lot of problems with pain and recurring sports injuries. With Feldenkrais lessons, I found a greater awareness of my body so I could modify movement in running, power walking, and biking that helped eliminate injury. I also found I could improve performance with less downtime duing recovery. It's useful for sports.”
“I find that my body is more flexible as a result of taking these classes. Just recently I noticed a significant reduction in soreness in my left knee, which has been diagnosed as having moderate to severe osteoarthritis.”
“Certain previously 'stressful' situations no longer affect me as intensely as before. I have also noticed that my posture and stride have changed. I am not slouching as much and my stride is easier/lighter. I had not expected to get such a sense of fulfillment/enjoyment that has lead me to return for additional series.”
