The Healthy Back Program

The Healthy Back Program helps you restore the natural sensuality and flexibility of your back.

It helps you to "remember" nature's design, how your back is organically connected to your whole body in everything you do-- whether sitting at your computer or skiing down a slope.

The Feldenkrais Method®

Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, physicist, engineer, and judo master, the method is grounded in movement science, brain research, psychology and the martial arts. His revolutionary thinking has shaped our understanding of the relationship between movement, thinking, feeling, and sensing, and the role of awareness in restoring health and wholeness. The Feldenkrais Method® extols our human capacity for learning at any age.

The Feldenkrais Method® has two components:

Feldenkrais Functional Integration®:

Functional Integration is a gentle, yet powerful personalized process. Lying on a table, fully clothed, Marilyn will be guiding you through touch and precise subtle movements. You enjoy your body relaxing, releasing, and discovering new possibilities for movement. Your body awakens to, or remembers the experience of integration, or how to move with maximum efficiency by using your whole body in a balanced way.

Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement®

Awareness Through Movement is taught with language and images. Lying on a comfortable mat or carpet, Marilyn will guide you verbally through an intriguing movement sequence or lesson. Interesting changes begin to happen, not through force and effort, but through attention and safe, gentle, nonhabitual movement.
