Movement is Life, without Movement, Life is Unthinkable

Welcome to Life Works Somantics
“Movement is Life, without Movement, Life is Unthinkable”
This is a statement made by Dr Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of the Method: movement is something we generally take for granted, often not stopping to think about it much til we can’t do it so well for whatever reason – sprain an ankle, get a bad back, or are just ‘getting on a bit’.
Something else Dr Feldenkrais said, “When you don’t know how you act, you can’t do what you want...” Through this Method it is possible to recover the natural agility a healthy child has, often in spite of age!
Benefits
The following lists some of the conditions that Feldenkrais has proven positive results for:
Chronic back problems, back pain, pelvic pain
Repetitive Strain Injuries - eg Carpal Tunnel syndrome, Tennis Elbow, Frozen Shoulder, etc
Muscular Tension
Stress, Anxiety and Depression
Insomnia
Arthritis, bursitis and joint inflammation conditions
Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Stroke, ME, Parkinsons – ie neurological & developmental disorders
Rehabilitation from surgery

Development in existing professional skills, or hobbies
The last mentioned is worth a special note: people who use a certain skill for their job, for example musicians, or computer users, plus all kinds of sports people, find Feldenkrais helpful in supporting and improving their performance.
Feldenkrais is grouped with some other therapies under a general heading of ‘Somatic Therapies’. ‘Soma’ is a latin root meaning body. Feldenkrais engages the body intelligence, it works directly with the nervous system and the brain.
