Feldenkrais for Shoulder Pain - Learn to Move Better

Feldenkrais for Shoulder Pain: Gentle Movement for Relief

Welcome! This course, Feldenkrais for Shoulder Pain, introduces you to the transformative Feldenkrais Method, a unique somatic learning approach developed by Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais. Discover how Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons can help you improve your movement efficiency and enhance your self-awareness, specifically targeting shoulder pain.

This course focuses on key shoulder movements designed to alleviate discomfort and increase flexibility:

• Lifting & Lowering: Gentle exercises to improve range of motion.
• Moving Forward & Backward: Releasing tension and improving posture.
• Circling: Enhancing shoulder mobility and reducing stiffness.

You'll explore these movements in various positions – lying on your back or side, and sitting – ensuring accessibility for all. Learn to perform these shoulder exercises in a healthy, functional way, promoting greater shoulder flexibility and pain reduction.

The Feldenkrais Method is remarkably gentle and suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels.

How a Feldenkrais Lesson Works:

Each lesson follows a simple, effective structure:

1. Body Scan: Begin with a brief awareness exercise to connect with your current physical state.
2. Reference Movement: Experience a simple movement to gauge ease or difficulty.
3. Movement Lessons: Engage in a sequence of slow, small movement exercises to gently reorganize habitual movement patterns.
4. Re-evaluation: Return to a body scan to notice any shifts in sensation, followed by repeating the reference movement to assess improvements.
