Read this article from the New York Times on how the gentle movements in the Feldenkrais Method can help people with chronic pain feel lighter, freer, and in many cases less painful. 

​

In a study published in BMC Public Health this year, researchers showed that older adults with a canine friend spend more time walking than those who don't own a dog. The participants wore activity monitors for three 1-week periods over a year. On average, dog owners walked for 22 minutes more per day and took 2,760 additional steps per day than non-dog owners. 

I've always said that the best exercise coach is one with four legs!

www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/18/feldenkrais-method-embraced-by-saratogans/ My friend and colleague, Michele Westlaken, was featured in a Mercury News article on August 18, 2017. Brandy Miceli does an excellent job of describing the Feldenkrais method.

On May 22, 2017, Eric Westervelt of KQED Forum interviewed Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, author of 'Crooked,' her new book on the back pain industry. At 36:50 of the broadcast, she endorses Feldenkrais, describing it as 'just tremendous,' ' wonderful for older people who are not that flexible or able to move quickly.'
