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.
About the Author: Yochanan Rywerant began his studies with
Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais (1904–1985) in 1952 and has practiced Functional Integration
for more than twenty years. Today he leads seminars and training sessions in
the United States and throughout the world. His book was authorized by Dr. Feldenkrais.
