In Functional Integration®, we will look more closely at HOW you do what you do. Through movement and attention, you will be your own teacher as you discover easier and more comfortable ways to move. You will stay fully clothed as we move in different positions, sometimes actively and sometimes passively. The work isn't in the movement itself, but in the attention we pay to it. 

When you really pay attention, changes are made in the neural connections of the motor sensory cortex. These small changes can result in the learning of new movement patters, easier patterns, that over all can improve the way we perform the simplest of tasks. Tasks that we may believe are far out of possibility for us now.

Any sense of pain free, easy movement will automatically be adopted by the brain and begin to form new neural connections. This is because our nervous systems want what is best, what is easiest, what is the most comfortable. For many people, we've adopted postures and ways of moving that at the time, were exactly what we needed; limping after in injury, getting dressed without lifting our arms above our head, etc... But the way we've learned to use ourselves may not be the best way for us now. The actions we've adopted over time are not permanent like we once thought. It does, however, take a particular flavor of time and attention to re-learn the easiest way. Functional Integration is that way. 

If you're tired of being "fixed" and are looking for ways to improve yourself for the rest of your life, this may be the work for you. This is a work of slow, gentle movement that is safe for anyone of any ability. If you have a brain, you can do Feldenkrais. Click here and read Section
