Feldenkrais method

The physical activity of the organism is of enormous biological importance as it is almost the only form of activity that allows it not only to make an interaction with the environment but to act on it, modifying it with respect to its details needs.

If we try to classify the movements from the point of view of their biological importance for the organism, it is clear that a major value is up to those acts that solve the very different motor problems that arise in life.

The Feldenkrais Method is little known although it has been applied for 40 years. Like others, it is a method of somatic training but differs in two essential aspects: it is based on movement with broad scientific foundations; moreover, the student or the patient does not teach to correct himself but to generate the optimal circumstances to discover his own improvement process, not interfering in the personal process.

The Feldenkrais Method is a defined educational process of "Awareness Through Movement" precisely because it uses movement to improve the posture and potential of the individual; has developed the thesis, in the theoretical and practical field, that the various and frequent problems that cause an enormous quantity of pathologies reside in the individual's motor organization: from joint dysfunctions to cervical and lumbar pain or in any other area of ​​the spine, from limitations in movement to hernias, scoliosis, kyphosis to disc disease up to a long list of other problems.

As an educational system, it stimulates the innate intelligence of the nervous system to reprogram more effective actions that gradually replace wrong motor habits, often the cause of pain and tension.

Given these premises, it can be understood that its effectiveness is also appreciated in sports, where specific athletic gestures can become precise and really powerful precisely because they are the expression of a profound mental elaboration, rather than mere mechanical repetition.

This particular practice, which connects body and mind, promotes the exchange of signals between neurons, improving the interaction and coordination of movement.

The change does not take place in one or two sessions; as well as for physical training, even the one concerning the most important organ, requires practice and intention: the brain, in fact, needs constant stimuli in order to be able to better express its abilities.

After years of work in the field of fitness and sport I looked for a point where these two disciplines could find an agreement to be able to offer the sportsman a more organic tool aimed at increasing correct development, a body image and relating to the field gravitational (we move in the presence of the force of gravity, decisive factor for any sport played on the planet earth): the Feldenfit.
