I used the F(eldenkrais) technique to help recover my temporal mandibular joint on the side of my craniotomy. It was a lifesaver. Dr Jill Bolte Taylor, Neuroscientist, author of "My Stroke of Insight"
(The Feldenkrais Method) is not just pushing muscles around, but changing things in the brain itself so that the patient can gradually adjust his whole muscular dysfunction to what we call a normal image…Feldenkrais transmits the image, and you organise your brain to meet it. Professor Karl Pribram, MD, PhD, Neuroscientist, Stanford University, Nobel Prize nominee
As a neuroscientist interested in the development and plasticity of the nervous system, it is gratifying to see how the Feldenkrais Method demonstrates these principles. The Feldenkrais Method has also greatly improved my personal quality of life – physically and emotionally – by reducing the restrictions and limitations I thought were permanent due to multiple sclerosis. Marla Luskin, Professor, Emory University Medical School
The Feldenkrais Method is the most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention and reversal of deterioration of function. We're condemning millions of people to a deteriorated old age that's not necessary. Margaret Mead, Ph.D., Anthropologist
One of the most exciting developments in the field of mind-body co-ordination. Elmer Green, Ph.D., Menninger Foundation
The system developed by Dr Feldenkrais…has as much potential for understanding the mind/body relationship as Einstein’s general theory of relativity had for physics. Bernard Lake, M.D., Cardiologist
For a year or more, I stopped walking because my feet were hurting. At a doctor's advice, I tried wearing special inserts in my shoes, but they threw off my balance. Eventually I learned from various body workers on the Big Island, most notably a Feldenkrais practitioner there, that bad posture was putting a lot of strain on my feet. It's amazing what you can learn when you step outside the realm of people who are selling you something and into the realm of people who treat the body, not the symptom. Neil Young , in his book "Waging Heavy Peace"
