Feldenkrais Method

Feldenkrais Method
a proprietary system that uses an exploratory technique to enable patients to relearn dysfunctional movement patterns. Therapy takes two forms: awareness through movement, in which the patient is guided verbally through increasingly complex structured movements, and functional integration, in which the practitioner introduces new motion patterns to the patient by gentle manipulation.
