Feldenkrais - Functional Integration
A Functional Integration individual lesson is a hands on approach of the Feldenkrais method.
Functional Integration - the hands on approach of the Feldenkrais Method
The Feldenkrais Method works with the body’s natural ability to learn and adapt. Lessons support improved coordination, balance and functional movement in everyday life, rather than focusing on symptoms alone.
This learning-based approach is what distinguishes Feldenkrais from more corrective or prescriptive models.
A teacher will gently guide you through a range of safe, easy movement explorations using their hands. This process is designed to bring awareness to parts of yourself that you may not tend to move much or overuse. This in turn will encourage you to explore new ways of moving and organising your whole system (mind, brain, muscles and skeleton).
Individual sessions take place wearing comfortable, everyday clothing, usually lying or sitting on a wide, low, padded table.
As you begin to sense these new connections, your range of movement options can expand. Many people notice not only greater physical ease as a result, but also a sense of mental and emotional lightness and release alongside it.
There is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows that developing the way we sense ourselves and the way we move can reduce stress and enhance our sense of wellbeing. Refining these self-sensing abilities is central to the Feldenkrais method.
Functional Integration is suitable for people of all ages and abilities and is helpful for:
✔ Reducing musculoskeletal pain, tension or stiffness
✔ Recovery after an injury
✔ Limited mobility or hyper mobility
✔ Neurological issues
✔ Improving posture, coordination and balance
✔ More vitality and a calmer mind
