You are invited to a demonstration of the Feldenkrais Method of pain relief and body awareness Monday, May 19 in Montgomery Center at 10:30 a.m. Janel Lee, PT, a physical therapist, fitness coach, and certified Feldenkrais Practitioner will show interactive, practice-at-home techniques how to free yourself of pain, maintain your balance, and experience well-being throughout your body. What is the Feldenkrais Method? Developed by a Moshe Pinchas Feldenkrais, a Ukrainian-born physicist and athlete, the Feldenkrais Method teaches better physical movement by learning of alternative movement patterns, that you carry out in an active and conscious way,
A Physical Therapist for over three decades, Janet noticed a distressing trend with patients. “Despite patients following exact routines to heal, they would return again with recurrent pain and frustration.” Desiring to better help her patients, Janet studied and practiced under clinical supervision, the Feldenkrais Method (FM). Using FM, Janet observed that when “patients understood how their bodies worked and how to move more effectively, their pain was relieved,” often for good.
During her presentation, Janet uses a model skeleton, nicknamed Fred, for you to trace the source and course of pain in your body. She will also guide you in:
– Awareness of your body by “waking up” your shoulder and your feet.
– Breathing to help you relax your body and mind.
– Softening your feet to better feel the floor.
– In-place Exercising to mobilize your feet and leg bones.
– Standing up to experience the alignment of your leg to your pelvis and from your pelvis to your head.
Feldenkrais functional awareness and movement teaches you small, simple, and effective changes and connections to awaken your body and mind, and to realign them, so they work more smoothly together—often pain free.
