Feldenkrais method

The Feldenkrais Method is an educational system focused on providing functional awareness and expanded use of the self. The method uses movement and awareness as the primary vehicle for improving self use through understanding and the resulting empowerment. The method is often regarded as complementary medicine. The Feldenkrais Method attracts those who want to improve their movement repertoire (as dancers, musicians, artists), as well as those wishing to reduce pain or limitations in movement, and many who want to improve their general well-being and personal development. A central tenet of the Feldenkrais Method is that improving ability to move can improve one's overall well-being. The Feldenkrais Method is defined as a learning method, first and foremost: a learning about the self and self-image in the world, through the utilization of physical movement – movement as the definition and reflection of internal thought process. Therefore, it is a vehicle to improve performance at any level - from severe disorder to highly professional performance.

Mode of bodywork originated in Israel by physicist and engineer Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc. (1904-1984). It is a form of "movement reeducation" whose alleged results include "increased levels of vital energy" ("renewed inner vitality"). The method has two "aspects": (1) private, one-on-one instruction (Functional Integration), and (2) group instruction (Awareness Through Movement).
