Oh my Felden Krais

In a presentation to the school, Susan Free discussed Somatics (movement education)and I felt that was one of the key components missing from our training.

She did some neat demos that increased the range of motion in lateral rotation of the spine, neck and head significantly.

Her philosophy was one of teaching the mind new ways of doing things so one can break free from patterns that are established in error.

It was certainly a 'moving' experience.

These also correlate with Michael's discussion of de-chunking and de-habituating a clients movements.

Check out these awesome videos - it will be worth it
