Functional Integration®

A Functional Integration lesson is a one-on-one learning process usually communicated through gentle precise touch. The client is comfortably clothed and in most instances lies or sits on a low padded table. This process gives individualized feedback directly to the neuromuscular system and alters habitual patterns of action. Many habits cause the body to overwork unconsciously and develop faulty patterns of action that are only recognized when manifested as pain or some kind of functional difficulty, such as back pain or postural difficulties. Feldenkrais makes changes at the source of movement — the control center or the nervous system — improving the ability to function more efficiently and spontaneously in any given context.
