Feldenkrais® method against back pain

Is your balance out of balance?
How much could you improve your sports performance?
Do you feel awkward in your movements?

The Feldenkrais Method® helps people make their daily life more comfortable, for example by improving the way they walk, sit or stand, and without pain! We can all learn to listen to our body, observe how we move, and what are the useless efforts we make and which we do not even notice.

The fatigue of pain

There are countless exercises for back pain . There are treatments, cures, anti-inflammatories and creams. There is also ice.

The most varied remedies are used to stop a critical situation and be able to restart with everyday life.

Back pain is disabling, everything becomes tiring, even the simplest gestures are slowed down, uncertain. Getting around becomes challenging and the quality of life is compromised.

It is rare to meet someone who has not suffered from it a few times. It affects everyone, or almost everyone, both sedentary and active people. Those who do not practice sports allege the pain due to lack of motion, while those who are addicted to physical activity believe that they have made excessive efforts or have not exercised enough. In reality, having a solid back and developed muscles does not guarantee painlessness.

Back pain is not a disease but it is an effect of some imbalance that has occurred in the body. The factors that come into play are innumerable, often dictated by the agitated lifestyles to which we are forced today.

Listen to your body

How you treat your body is inseparable from how you deal with all other aspects of existence. It is more than legitimate not to want to feel more pain, to eliminate a “wrong posture” but the attitude can be different. It is one thing to simply want to eradicate, stifle a symptom, another is to commit to what you want to achieve in life and learn to use your back, your body in a functional way for what you want to achieve.

Moshe Feldenkrais wrote “The use we make of ourselves is the best that our means allow us at that moment.”

Our movements are dictated by our habits and how we perceive ourselves, our self-image.

In the lessons of the Feldenkrais Method® one gradually learns to perceive one’s movements in a new way, and the idea that doing our best means making a high effort is completely overturned. What matters is the quality of what we do, not the effort we make. We grow up following rules, obligations not to be broken, prohibitions, having to respond to the expectations of others. All of this does not take into account what we simply are. In fact, one forgets about oneself, by virtue of the idea of having to be perfect. The Feldenkrais® Method brings back to watch and take care of our deepest essence.
