Feldenkrais Somatic Education
Developed by Israeli physicist Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, this movement process is used to increase the patient’s awareness of how they use their body. By improving their sense of self-awareness patients will learn to reduce movement-related pain, and enhance their everyday activities, postures and overall sense of well being. Feldenkrais™ is also an excellent study for athletes who wish to broaden their range of motion.
In our Feldenkrais: Awareness Through Movement classes, practitioners direct patients to perform various movements in order to help them gain a more accurate and complete perception of the body and how it functions effortlessly with proper use. Once the patient achieves the desired level of comfort, they can re-program their bodies to maintain it. Each class is as unique as its participants.

If you are interested in scheduling an individual session with our Feldenkrais practitioners, or enrolling in a class, please call The Wege Institute for Mind, Body and Spirit at 616-752-6923.
