Quality Movement

About

The Feldenkrais Method is a movement-based therapy that helps to alleviate muscular tension and pain, as well as improving posture, balance and coordination.

We don't just focus on the symptoms that result from injury and overuse but rather look at how each part of the body is contributing to a movement and then address the imbalances.

No matter what stage of life you're at, there always room for improvement. Most people spend their lives gradually wearing their bodies out whilst reducing the amount of physical activity they can do. Feldenkrais sessions offer the chance to break that downward cycle and start working towards a better quality of life.

1 on 1 Feldenkrais session

You receive attention on your own personal issues via one on one hands-on treatment with a practitioner.

Feldenkrais sessions are performed with the client fully clothed, usually lying on a table as well as in sitting and standing positions. At times, various props (pillows, rollers, blankets) are used to support your body or to facilitate certain movements.

This process of discovering new movements and refining old ones will allow you to move in more intelligent, effective and efficient ways, making everyday activities much easier.

The process

You'll receive a unique and custom-tailored treatment that is developed to suit your issues. After an initial assessment, a course of sessions is usually created to suit your long-term needs (typically 3-5 sessions).

Through gentle hands-on contact, you are taken through extremely slow movements, which helps you to break out of habitual movement patterns and learn new ones.

There are no manipulations, quick adjustments, needles, deep tissue work or anything invasive.
