“I was having constant pain in my hand, wrist, and arm.  After six months of Functional Integration lessons and doing the assigned exercises, the pain in my hand occurred only infrequently.  The process of change through awareness is something you have to experience to believe.”

“I had suffered with chronic shoulder and arm pain that had developed into severe numbness and tingling.  Nothing I did brought me any long-term relief until I started with Feldenkrais®.  Through a series of Feldenkrais lessons, the chronic pain, numbness, and tingling resolved.  More importantly, I learned how to manage and maintain my body to avoid these problems in the future."

-Ruth Nielsen, Attorney at Law, Nielsen Law Office Inc.

“I have been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain.  I find it to be much more useful than standard physical therapy.  I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method® can help older people achieve greater range of motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies.” 

-Andrew Weil, M.D. Author of Spontaneous Healing and Natural Health, Natural Medicine
