In the Jungle of the Brain. How the Feldenkrais Method Works in Practice

Thousands of people have regained health and discovered sensory awareness thanks to the Feldenkrais method. By combining the physical and mental, the doctor developed a system that allows one to assess themselves and their movement habits from the outside, identify problem areas, and work on them, progressively teaching the body to move correctly and painlessly. No complex theories or esoterics — just medicine and physiology from a new perspective. Exercises are presented for: - developing good posture; - aligning the shoulder line; - improving vision; - fostering healthy imagination; - honing new beneficial habits. The author's work is illustrated by a well-known case of healing a patient — Nora, who suffered a serious injury due to a stroke and lost the ability to perform the simplest actions. Thanks to the Feldenkrais method, Nora, under the close supervision of scientists and doctors, was able to rediscover and perfectly master basic skills related to action: reading, writing, walking, and speaking.
