Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, D.Sc., (1904-1984) was a distinguished
scientist, physicist, and engineer, and the founder of the method
that now bears his name. His insights contributed to the
development of the new field of somatic education and continue to
influence disciplines ranging from the arts to physical and
occupational therapy.
Elizabeth Beringer studied directly with Feldenkrais and is one of
the foremost teachers and trainers of the Method today.
"Feldenkrais's work is innovative, gentle, and often strikingly
effective.… I recommend the Feldenkrais Method to patients whose
movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke,
fibromyalgia, and chronic pain. I also believe that the Feldenkrais
Method can help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies."
—Andrew Weil, MD"The Feldenkrais exercises are ingenious."
—Sir Yehudi Menuhin, KBE, renowned violinist and student of Moshe
Feldenkrais"Feldenkrais has studied the body in movement with a
precision I have found nowhere else."
—Peter Brook, OBE, theater and film director"This is the most
sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention
and reversal of deterioration of function."
—Anthropologist Margaret Mead on the Feldenkrais Method
"Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais's method will be of great benefit to all of
humanity. From my own experience, I know the remarkable results
achieved."
—David Ben-Gurion, first prime minister of Israel"Moshe Feldenkrais
was one of the twentieth century's most original thinkers. This
volume presents Feldenkrais's most concise and cohesive statements
on the theory behind his work.… I hope the publicatio of this
important and long-overdue book will help bring his ideas the
recognition and the critical analysis they so deserve. I believe
the Feldenkrais Method has the potential to help millions of
people."
—David Zemach-Bersin, cofounder of the Feldenkrais Institute of New
York
