"Restoring the Essential Movements of Your Spine"
Back pain plagues an estimated 570 million people around the globe. It is sometimes accompanied by nerve pain that is felt in the buttocks or one or both legs and can cause numbness in the feet. This type of referred nerve pain is commonly known as sciatica.
The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in our body. If it is pinched or compressed, the sciatic nerve can become inflamed and cause discomfort. Sciatic pain can be extremely uncomfortable and is frequently not experienced where the impingement originates, but further down the neural pathway.
Fortunately, doing Feldenkrais lessons can help to reduce most cases of sciatic pain. In this on-demand program, Feldenkrais Trainer and Director of Feldenkrais Access, David Zemach-Bersin, shares a set of specific Feldenkrais lessons that can help you avoid, reduce, and eliminate sciatic pain. These gentle lessons will give you new ways to maintain a healthy, well-organized back. You will learn how and why sciatica develops and what you can do to protect yourself from having sciatic attacks in the future.
"Reducing Sciatic Pain did what nothing else could: it got rid of my constant sciatic pain and leg numbness! I can now go months without a flare up--which is quickly resolved after one lesson."
