In the last semesters, I have worked a lot from the extremities, the arms, and legs. There we explored the connection lines from the hand through the arm and how it then connected further with the chest and through the pelvis with the legs. Or from the foot through the leg to the pelvis, the […]
In the spring season we have been working extensively on the feet, ‘Paying attention to your feet’. Every week was a new adventure, discovering how many different movements you can make in the foot. The result is more relaxation in and around the feet, more sensing in the feet and being able to give in […]
Foot, knee, and/or hip complaints are common issues for people who come to me for an individual Functional Integration session. I always start by observing how they stand and whether they place more weight on their right foot or their left. I also check how much connection there is from the pelvis or the head […]
Do your feet ever ask for attention, perhaps because they hurt? Have you ever had an injury to your feet or ankle joint? Do you ever suffer from stiffness in your feet or ankles? Feet have been called our subjects. If they hurt regularly, they become jammers instead. As a result, you tend to start […]
The fact that the Feldenkrais Method has good results for the people who practice it is visible to me and especially tangible to them in terms of easier movement and disappearing complaints. But what thoughts are behind it? That’s what I want to unfold here. The Feldenkrais Method: A Need to Change Something Moshe Feldenkrais […]
Why is the Feldenkrais Method so wonderful for working on change? What makes it effective, and how can you make the changes more permanent? Learning The Feldenkrais Method is essentially a model of how you learn. It’s a very organic way of learning from movement, which is also how we began our learning capabilities: from […]
When I ask my clients to invite people to my free introductory Feldenkrais lessons, they often say: “I can’t really explain what it is and what it does!” I completely understand that. It is indeed difficult to explain in words. That is the reason for the free lessons and the 3-lesson pass. Experiencing it yourself […]
I’ve never really written about my individual lesson, Functional Integration, based on the Feldenkrais Method. Still, people often find me who have tried everything to get rid of their complaints. Usually, they come saying, “I want to explore what I can do myself ‘to feel better,’ ‘to get rid of my complaints,’ ‘to prevent the […]
Where It All Began My internship period, working full-time as a physiotherapist for a year without vacations, was too big of a transition from endlessly sitting at a desk learning towards becoming physically very active. It was mainly my back that protested this big transition. But it never really went away. Sometimes there were peaks […]
Sustainability is an important theme. How can we all prevent further exploitation of our beautiful Earth? My work revolves around the same topic but directed at ourselves. How can we deal with ourselves so we don’t exploit or misuse our beautiful bodies further? “Misuse?” I hear you think: “I misuse and/or exploit my body?” Yes, […]
