The Feldenkrais Method®:
Teaching By Handling is a presentation of the system of Functional Integration®
devised by the Israeli scientist Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. The Feldenkrais®
system is a way of handling the body by communicating specific sensations to
the central nervous system in order to improve the functions of the motor-system.
Functional Integration is unique in that it evokes changes in the human
brain at a level heretofore thought unachievable by any known educational technique:
muscular tonicity—even spasticity—is actually modified, the range of movement
is enhanced, movement becomes more coordinated, and the overall efficiency and
comfort of muscular functioning is increased.
In the Feldenkrais Method, learn how the author has devised a framework
for understanding an immensely subtle and elusive technique for human change.
