Possible Applications

Generally the method is of preventive character and a prophylactic measure. From another perspective it is important to understand, that at the same time it is exceeding these boundaries by far, because for a “healthy person” it is a wonderful chance to learn to differentiate and integrate all vital and mental abilities step by step. This effect of the induced changes is far beyond the idea of prevention.

The method is no wayquestioning the privilege of medicine and therefore inappropriate in all acute medical incidents, including all cases in which the concern is not clear yet. Nevertheless the spheres of medicine and the Feldenkraiswork are overlapping each other slightly: mainly in the field of rehabilitation and pain-control. Everybody that likes to reassure himself should consult his doctor for agreement, before joining a lesson in Awareness Thruogh Movement® or Functional Integration®.

The method is suitable in a wide range of personal wishes or goals, because its emphasis is on the very basic movements and functions of us humans:
