What They're Saying
Critics Review
“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
