From our clients and students
We asked our students and clients to share with us some of their thoughts and
experiences at our Center.
It
is fantastic, as a medical doctor, to be able to offer my patients a
healing technique that not only will address their specific musculoskeletal
problems, but will also help prevent future injuries and teach them
about their bodies.
Lisa Capaldini, MD (Voted 'Best Doctor', SF Bay Guardian, 2006)
My life completely changed for the better. I went from being completely unable to works and in constant strong pain due to an injury to my back, to being able to return to a normal live and remain pain free. This was after the doctors had given up on me. Feldenkrais is simply miraculous!
Cherie Ferhman, Designer and Writer.
After…
class I feel more relaxed and more physically expressive. I have found
new ways to move and my whole body becomes more involved in movements
that used to be isolated…
Gary Wilson, Security officer/Actor.
I
came to class because I wanted noncompetitive exercise where I did not
even compete with my former self!
Lulu Ezekial, Artist
I
always discover some new subtle pattern of holding and always experience
a considerable release during the lesson. My favorite lesson so far
is some times called ‘candelabra’ – it works with the
ribs, shoulders and arms, but I find it has real impact on my lower
back and pelvis…
Tonia Macneil, Public Art Curator.
The Feldenkrais Method gave me the ability to sleep soundly once again.
I love the ‘ah ha’ feeling I get when I learn something new
about my body.
Judy Kingsley, Manager, educational nonprofit organization.
At
least six months have passed since I started with the Feldenkrais program.
I can remember before I started I had difficulty walking sitting and
breathing... I feel I am more nimble than I did 6 month ago and I seem
to have a more positive attitude towards my well-being. I walk more
upright and energetically. I am more aware of my body movement than
ever.
Walter Moy, Retired
I
have found that Feldenkrais taken once a week helped with the pain and
limitation of fibromyalgia.
Jean Shallenberger
I
keep coming to class because it is something I enjoy doing for my well
being. I started in August of ‘92 when I was experiencing a lot
of stiffness, pain and difficulty in walking. (Now) I enjoy walking
and don’t experience the stiffness after sitting like I used to.
The orthopedic surgeon was ready to operate. That no longer is necessary.
I have enjoyed the variety and gifts of seven different Feldenkrais
practitioners over the years.
