Frequently Asked Questions
Is this like physical therapy?
It's not about fixing what's wrong but exploring how you move. The improvements often exceed what corrective approaches achieve because they come from internal reorganization.
Do I need to be fit or flexible?
No. Movements are gentle and can be adapted to any physical condition. It works with whatever range you have.
How is this different from yoga or exercise?
The focus is on awareness and learning, not stretching or strengthening. The movements themselves are less important than the attention you bring to them.
How many sessions do I need?
Many people notice changes after a few sessions. Deeper transformation happens over months of regular practice.
What should I expect in a session?
Gentle movements, often lying down, with attention to subtle sensations. You might feel like you're not 'doing' much, but changes are happening.
Can Feldenkrais help with neurological conditions?
It's used with various neurological conditions. The method was developed partly through work with people who had strokes and other brain injuries.
