Pain is a protective signal that provides us with important sensory information after we have been injured. Ideally, it is temporary and goes away completely, as we heal. Chronic pain however, is more complicated. Pain that persists over an extended period of time has a way of becoming entangled -in our brain- with our habitual patterns, our internal image of ourselves, and our sensory experience of movement. Often profoundly exhausting, chronic pain can take a toll on our sense of vitality and emotional well-being.
This on-demand program with Raz Ori will give you new possibilities for pain relief. Gentle movement sequences, using non-painful parts of yourself, will help you to access the intelligence of your nervous system and stimulate the creation of new neurological connections for reducing chronic pain and discomfort. No previous experience with the Feldenkrais Method is necessary. Purchase now!

Testimonials
"When I got up off the floor my entire body felt amazing, entirely relaxed and fully awake and energized at the same time. My lungs felt like there was no end to the air they could breathe in and my tightest, most painful areas feel better than they ever have."
-Ruth Dickover
