How is this different from Chiropractic?
|
 |
|
Chiropractors are trained to work with bones. It is a structural approach that seeks to effect change through changes in your structure, (muscles and bones).
The Feldenkrais Method works with your ability to regulate and coordinate your movement. It is a functional approach where you improve your use of self, allowing for whatever structural considerations are present.

"Unlike other forms of body work, Dr. Feldman has provided me with permanent changes that have improved the quality of my life and health...I feel healthier, more energetic and flexible... It's been a quantum leap for me and supported my mental and emotional growth as a human being."

"I've had back and neck issues for a while - finally I found Dr. Feldman and after learning about his methods I was very excited to get started. I noticed great results very quickly, mainly in my posture and overall feeling. I walk straight, hold my head high and my shoulders are square. I’ve been attending individual sessions for a few months now and I am learning how to walk and recognize how my body moves. My back and neck feels 110% better!"

What Will I Get?
|
|
|
• Individualized treatment - I take the TIME to find out what's wrong and treat
accordingly.
• Results are cumulative and bring long-lasting improvement.
• These methods change underlying patterns rather then giving a quick, superficial,
non-permanent solution.
• Willingness to LISTEN to clients and then respond-working with the client rather than
working on the client and imposing a technique on the person.
• Personalized sessions lasting from 30 to 60 minutes

"Five years ago I had foot surgery which partially destroyed my sense of balance and caused misalignment of my whole right side. Working with Dr. Feldman, I am learning awareness of body movement as a whole rather than separate parts. This is helping my ability to function and use some parts which I thought were totally disabled."

What Will I Learn?
|
|
|
• To Break The Pain/dependency cycle; break habitual patterns that keep re-creating
pain you cannot control which sends you back to your doctor over and over again.
|
"I applaud not only your Feldenkrais Method® healing skill but also your attention to my wellness. Your use of Feldenkrais to empower me to keep myself well meant that I was not put in a pattern of repetitive costly office visits."

• Awareness of how you move, so you can learn to be in control of yourself. Become
self-maintaining by learning to sense yourself and control the muscles of your body.

"After the first session [with Dr. Feldman] my pain had dramatically reduced...This effect lasted ... considerably longer then by any single method I had previously...I have continued to attend [Feldenkrais®] training sessions and have gained a much greater range of movement with almost total freedom from pain."
