OT: Feldenkrais, anyone?

[makoti]

Has anyone tried this method? A friend told me about it, but hadn't tried it herself. I'm wondering if anyone has. How long until you saw results? Worth the time/cash?

[makoti]

Gonna bump this once to see if anyone has any experience with this. Looking at it to help with nagging low back/hip issues

[eddief]

i did a few sessions. actually it was more like a group exercise class. it was sort of like yoga but as i recall a more gentle and holistic approach.

this describes best my recollection. no harm in trying:

The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education uses gentle movement and directed attention to help people learn new and more effective ways of living the life they want. You can increase your ease and range of motion, improve your flexibility and coordination, and rediscover your innate capacity for graceful, efficient movement. Since how you move is how you move through life, these improvements will often enhance your thinking, emotional regulation, and problem-solving capabilities.

The Feldenkrais Method is based on principles of physics, biomechanics, and an empirical understanding of learning and human development. Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.” By expanding your perception and increasing awareness, you will become more aware of your habits and tensions and develop new ways of moving. By increasing sensitivity, the Feldenkrais Method assists you to live your life more fully, efficiently, and comfortably.
