A little while ago I was e-mailed by a reader who asked if I knew anything about the Feldenkrais method for coping with back pain.
I had to confess to my ignorance, never having heard of it. However I have now had the chance to do a little research and came up with a good brief description of what it is and what it can do for you on wikipedia.
Apparently this method was developed by Russian-born Moshe Feldenkrais, DSc, in the mid-20th century after he suffered a devastating knee injury.
Today's findings on neuroplastcity appear to support his theory, and today followers include professional athletes and dancers as well as people suffering from medical conditions that cause loss of function and/or chronic or acute pain in the back, neck, shoulder, arm, hip, leg or knee.

If you think it might be something you could benefit from you can find classes simply by entering “Feldenkrais method classes” into your search engine, together with your local area. If you do, as always I would love to hear of your experiences.
