At the end of the workshop,
participants will be better able to do
the following:
understand the concepts on which the
Feldenkrais Method (FM) is based as
they apply to Physical Therapy.
discuss the parallels between the
concepts of the Feldenkrais Method
and the evidence based adaptive
codes of motor learning .
base their plan of care on recent peer
reviewed published literature on the
effectiveness of the Feldenkrais
Method.
use Feldenkrais-inspired hands on
techniques to improve their patient
care through a more refined touch.
use less physical effort in their
everyday practice in order to avoid
overuse injuries specific to
rehabilitation professionals.
teach more efficient movements to
their patients so that they incorporate
it into their daily activities.
The workshop participants will also
have the opportunity to experience an
Awareness Through Movement
®(ATM) class and observe a
Functional Integration® (FI) session
Course objectives
Audience: This course is designed
primarily for Physical Therapists and
Physical Therapy Assistants, but is
also useful for Occupational
Therapists and Occupational Therapy
Assistants.
