People with Neurological Issues
Neurological issues may affect movement from birth or disrupt an active life later. Regardless of your history, you now rely on family and equipment for basic tasks. Despite undergoing physical therapies and receiving good medical care, you're seeking more. Like many with neurological challenges, you value a body that moves well and aim to maximize your abilities, even without expecting full recovery. You want to ease your life, reconnect socially, and maintain meaningful work.
Feldenkrais Practitioners can help with conditions like:
Dystonia
Spasticity
Traumatic brain injury
Multiple sclerosis
Parkinson's
Stroke
Spinal cord injuries
The Feldenkrais Method uses brain plasticity to enhance movement, focusing on brain-muscle control rather than muscle strength. Practitioners guide movement variations to clarify brain body maps, improve motor control, and increase flexibility. This helps you find easier ways to walk, roll over, stand, and breathe. The method's gentle movements and precise touch provide safety and support, allowing you to relax and enjoy your body again.
