Amazon.com Review
A year or so ago, a Feldenkreis instructor conducted a seminar for a handful of fitness journalists. The movements we tried were based on the way infants twist to roll themselves over and get around. Within a couple of hours, my flexibility and posture had improved dramatically. Feldenkreis, as Awareness Heals shows, isn't about sets and reps. It's about relaxing muscles, rather than building them, and getting your body to use minimal effort to move. Learning these movements from a book isn't ideal, especially since this book is a bit skimpy on illustrations, but it's a good introduction to the method, and will probably suffice if you can't get to a class and learn the valuable back-saving lessons from an instructor.

Very good book
I got Shafarman's book in the hopes that the exercises in it would relieve pain I experience at night and it does. I exercises are very gentle and effective.

Easy to read and understand
If you are interested in the Feldenkrais method - this book is a
must read. It's much easier to understand and the exercises are
well illustrated and not as complicated as other books I've read
on this subject. The reason I purchased this book is because I
believe the Feldenkrais exercises are the best exercises for back
problems.
