Quote of the Month:

"We can tap our own healing forces by learning to use the power the mind has over the body. Healing is part of self-realization, a process of becoming whole and healthy."

-- Dr.Gerald Epstein

Feldenkrais and Running


Do you know what the Feldenkrais Method is? No it's not a new religion, but it is becoming a saving grace for many runners. Feldenkrais has been around for many years, but most people have never heard of it.

It is a practice that was developed by Moshe Feldenkrais, who was a physicist, an engineer and a martial artist. When a knee injury from his childhood re-surfaced and threatened to severely disable him, he refused to have surgery. Instead, he began to explore rehabilitation through body awareness and awareness of movement. He made the connection between mind and body and began to teach himself how to move his knee and walk normally again. When his method of healing was fully developed, he began to teach others what is known as the Feldenkrais Method.

Today there are over 2000 Feldenkrais practitioners all around the world. Because so many runners get injured each year, many have turned to Feldenkrais to overcome injuries and pain from running. It has helped many runners to not only reduce and recover from injuries, but to become better runners as they learn to run with their whole bodies.
