Suzanne Larronde, Modern Maturity

"Two audiences have responded to the value of Feldenkrais's work: people afflicted with physical problems and pain, and those who make their living from beauty or finesse of movement such as musicians, athletes, dancers, and actors. Feldenkrais watchers and pupils have included violinist Yehudi Menuhin, former Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and Dr. Karl Pribram, M.D., director of the Neuro-Psychology Laboratories of Stanford University."

Judith Elman, Ph.D., sport psychologist

"With Relaxercise you can expand your range of motion, flexibility, speed, and endurance, enhancing your performance in any athletic pursuit and your everyday movement as well."

Alex Shester, M.D.

"Superb. Very practical. An incredible, quick, and easy tool for anyone who suffers chronic pain and loss of flexibility."

Customer Reviews

Excellent Introduction to Feldenkrais Work
The exercises presented in this book are effortless, simple, and effective. They are more like neurological lessons than something to rote memorize and do. Through slow, easing, and mindful movements we can learn about our body and how it works. Our subconscious mind starts to reorganize our movements and we feel ourselves functioning with more ease. There are further lessons than these basic ones, but these basic ones can carry you a long way in the process and are a necessary foundation for what comes next. I would recommend some of the cassettes or CDs that verbally guide people through the exercises. It is a little more direct than reading something and then doing it.

Unbelievable results!
I bought this book because it was given to my rolfer by a doctor who treated her for injuries she suffered in an auto accident and she felt I could benefit from doing these exercises as well. She was so right! I have had back and neck injuries resulting from years of heavy lifting as well as several auto accidents in my past. Over many years, I have sought relief from my medical doctor, physical therapist, massage therapist, chiropractor and rolfer and although had improvement, I still had stiffness and low back pain and discomfort every single day. The day this book arrived, I read through it and did a few exercises and from that first day, the pain and stiffness greatly receded and is now gone for the first time in years! The most amazing part is that I received the book less than 2 weeks ago! The exercises are so easy it's hard for me to believe they could work especially since I have done thousands of hours of yoga exercises over the years but it has not accomplished what these exercises have in 15 minutes a day for less than 2 weeks! Amazing!!

Outstanding Product.
This book is an outstanding contribution to the field of health, fitness, and sports. I have used it prior to playing sports to align my posture and increase the efficiency of my movements. I have recommmended this book to clients after they have finished their Medical Doctor and Physcial Therapist Interventions. I believe it assists traditional medical interventions to be even more effective by naturally restoring lost mobility and movement patterns.
