This book brings the Feldenkrais Method(R) and the concept of
Somatic Education to a wide audience. As well as providing an
introduction to the Feldenkrais Method(R) and its applications, a
team of highly qualified contributors, representing a variety of
therapeutic professions, explore how the Feldenkrais Method(R)
interacts with and supports other professions and modalities,
including Pilates, yoga, dance, physical therapy, sports coaching,
rehabilitation medicine, and more. (See the table of contents for
full details.) Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), the founder of the
Feldenkrais Method(R), built his Method around the concept of
improving human functioning by increasing self-awareness through
movement. The concept of neuroplasticity - the brain's amazing
capacity to change and adapt - was one of Feldenkrais' basic tenets
of how the brain organizes movement, and is now in our daily
lexicon. Pain, illness and injuries all affect how our nervous
system and brain react to events in us and around us. Feldenkrais'
thesis is that our nervous system always does the best it can with
the information it has, and learning through the nervous system is
the theme that runs through this book. Coverage includes:
Comparisons about similarities as well as differences between the
different modalities. Theory and practice of how the Feldenkrais
Method(R) can be applied in a variety of specific settings.

The book takes an integrated approach to pain rehabilitation and
combines pain science, rehabilitation and yoga with evidence-based
approaches from respected contributors. They demonstrate how to
integrate the concepts, philosophies and practices of yoga and pain
science in working with people in pain. An essential and often
overlooked part of pain rehabilitation is listening to, working
with, learning from, and validating the person in pain's lived
experience. The book expounds on the movement to a more
patient-valued, partnership-based biopsychosocial-spiritual model
of healthcare where the patient is an active and empowered
participant, as opposed to a model where the healthcare provider is
'fixing' the passive patient. It also explains how practitioners
can address the entire human being in pain, and how to include the
person as an expert for more effective and self-empowered care.
