MoreTestimonials about Feldenkrais at Home

I'm enjoying the "Upper Body" series a lot, as well as the "Your Back and Neck" cassettes. My neck is getting better, and my flexibility and skiing are improving.

Your tapes have been so important to me and I feel that they have been the major reason that I rarely have back discomfort. Whenever I put on a tape I am assured that I will feel like a new and revitalized person by the end of the tape...Doing the tapes is a constant education and awareness about how it all works together.

I received all the tapes very promptly...I look forward to continued use myself. If you make anything more, please let me know.

Thank you for being so gracious to send the "Feldenkrais at Home" set as soon as I phoned. Two massage therapist friends are most impressed with your tapes and the Feldenkrais Method- so you will probably be hearing more from me in the future.

I thought to myself, "I have been suckered. I am paying all this money to do this and I don't believe it will work for a moment."
Last November, I bent over to make my bed and knew immediately that my back 'went out'. My history with severe episodes of back pain dates back 20 years--two of which landed me in the hospital on a morphine drip and in traction--and so I feared another prolonged episode of debilitating back pain. I sought out chiropractic care but three days later the intensity of the pain still left me unable to stand up straight. My son suggested that I receive a massage and so I scheduled with Evangeline Bratt. I received a wonderful session but the pain was unrelenting. Evangeline suggested Feldenkrais. I had missed the past three days of my work as a nurse of ontology and thought it was worth a try.
While in session, laying on the floor, I thought to myself, "I have been suckered. I am paying all this money to do this and I don't believe it will work for a moment." I had always thought that for visualization or any other alternative therapy to work, you had to believe it would. I stood up after going through the first tape and didn't feel any better. Two hours later; however, I was standing up straight, pain free!
When I returned to the chiropractor, he didn't even need to adjust me. I returned to work without difficulty. I sometimes find myself hesitant when speaking within the medical community about Feldenkrais (they'll think I "jumped off the deep end") but I cannot dispute the fact that I was better within two hours of one session. Was it the Feldenkrais alone? I can't answer that. Would I do it all over again, you bet! Would I recommend it to my friends and patients, most certainly!

I want to thank you for introducing me to "Feldenkrais at Home."

You may recall that when we met I had been suffering from chronic back pain for more than 50 years. From the start no surgeon wanted to operate on me because my problem was 'too complicated'. Over the years I've been involved in a number of different therapies. Somehow they seem cumulatively to have contributed to my survival.
In addition to the back, I have also developed severe neck pain during the past ten or more years. This has been attributed to "several bad cervical discs".
About a year ago the neck pain became persistent. The pain continued with no let-up through several different therapies. I could almost never sleep without wearing a surgical collar, either soft or hard.
That problem had been continuing for about seven months when I met you last April. When I began doing the Feldenkrais neck tapes there was a noticeable improvement almost immediately. After four months of daily work with the neck tapes, the pain was finally gone. There are still occasional twinges but they go away when I return to the neck tapes.
My back has been noticeably improved as well.
I am now in my seventies. I sit with contemporary friends who are just beginning to experience the pains and disabilities of "aging". They are often angry and resentful about these changes in their bodies. I'm trying to tell them about Feldenkrais.
As you said on one of the tapes, I have discovered possibilities in my body which I never imagined to be possible.
Many thanks.

I haven't had any trouble with my back since I started your tapes two months ago. Before that I was in constant pain.

I have rheumatism in my neck following a serious accident. I was amazed at the incredible difference of movement after doing only the first one half hour movement sequence. I could move my neck with ease, comfort, and flexibility.

I'd like you to know that my Grandfather and my Father both had back trouble and were very bent over. My wife and I work out to "Aligning your Body," and at 81 years of age I am straight as can be. We both enjoyed the tapes and I vowed never to get bent forward like Dad and Grandpa.
J. Payne

...I bought 'Aligning Your Body'. I'm so glad that its so simple. I'm willing to do it when I need it.
M. Seelig

I am so thankful that you once gave me these tapes! They are now helping me heal my back. I had to stop working physically. Your Feldenkrais movement sessions are so wonderful and so Kabbalistic!

I had a brain tumor. Following surgery your tapes were a breakthrough for me. The cadence, rhythm and the way you presented ideas caused my movements to flow, and my body to move. Your voice is the ultimate voice on any of the tapes.

I am a physical therapist and first became interested in the Feldenkrais Method during a weekend course last year. I had the opportunity to use "Your Back and Neck" tape with my wife who was suffering with a cervical and shoulder pain. She had not responded to traditional physical therapy. Medication and injection by an orthopedic surgeon gave only temporary relief. She improved after a week of using your tape and has had only minimal problems since.
Robert H. Kroner, PT

These tapes are an exceptional product. Incredible care has been taken all along the line to produce top sound, editing, sound reproduction, etc. The content is highly enjoyable to listen to.

Recently I purchased three sets of your Feldenkrais tapes at the Whole Life Expo in San Francisco. I'm very pleased with the results after only a couple of sessions. The exercises are very easy and comfortable and I've definitely noticed a lessening of tension in my neck and upper back.

I found that your neck and jaw tape helped me significantly increase my level of comfort after suffering for weeks with mandibular joint disfunction and acute pain in my jaw.
