8 Week Back Care Series April 5, 2010

Today lower back pain is one of the most debilitating issues facing Americans. Due to the increase in computer related jobs many people spend their day sitting continuously for 8 to 10 hours. This has led to significant strain on our lower backs and spine.

This 8 week series is designed to teach students how to find a new way to experience their backs by utilizing the amazing Feldenkrais Method. This unique body awareness modality helps individuals gain greater awareness of their bodies and to find original ways of moving in their life. We work on discovering new neural pathways in the brain. By doing slow movements with extensive awareness we can retrain the bodies habituated processes that are causing the pain. Much of our daily movement is happening outside of our conscious awareness. By bringing into awareness the way we move we give the brain the opportunity to find a different way of functioning in one's life. Standing, sitting, walking, running are all part of how we function. These movements are all learned patterns. We can learn new patterns that allow the body to move in a more efficient way that leads to a decrease in pain and discomfort.

Each class is very gentle and slow without any need for prior experience.

The goals of the class are:
* Develop increased body awareness of all parts of our body
* Integrate new movement patterns that eliminate pain
* Learn to function in more efficient ways
* Increase balance and coordination

I hope you will join us!
