"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

"Dr Moshe Feldenkrais' method will be of great benefit to all of humanity. From my own experience I know the remarkable results achieved."

"As an aging ex-jock, nursing bad knees and shoulders, Functional Integration® and Awareness Through Movement® work helps me develop insight into how my body operates and how it compensates for old injuries.

- Kevin Paxton, President of Preston Technology, Inc.

"About two years ago, I tripped over a raised bit of sidewalk that had up heaved from a tree root. The jolt caused a disk in my back to herniate, resulting in a tremendous amount of pain and reduced mobility. I eventually had an MRI. The diagnosis was clear; I would need surgery. Not wanting to do that, I found out about the Feldenkrais Method and decided to give it a try. I completed 15 Functional Integration sessions, and was amazed to go from facing back surgery to being pain free."
- Shirley Beieler, Orthodontic Laboratory Technician/Manager, Feldenkrais practitioner

"In relearning the use of the body, you are living in a state of almost constant revelation. You are likely to find that almost everything you do can be done more efficiently, more pleasurably and with greater ease than was possible before. You will have much greater stamina and strength, and many of the debilitating 'symptoms of aging' will reverse. In the state of good posture, which is indeed a state of being, your body will feel very light, almost weightless, and will seem less dense - as if your head were a kite and the rest of the body the tail dangling lightly from it!"
- Jean Houston, The Possible Human

"Like too many musicians, I was prompted to examine my relationship to my body by the crisis of injury. Too many years of pursuing the music I wanted to make at a all costs finally caught up with me and I found myself first in pain and ultimately, unable to play.

For me, Feldenkrais was and remains an invaluable tool to help develop a greater sensitivity and awareness of what my body is actually doing and how I can best move within it."
- Alex Laing, Principal Clarinet, The Phoenix Symphony
