Feldenkrais Therapy

The Feldenkrais Method was developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais and was based upon his desire to help those who have suffered from an injury to recover function and mobility. The therapy is designed to help people reconnect with their body and create more efficient movement. The therapy may be delivered by the same practitioner throughout a course of treatment so that a relationship can be built between the child and the practitioner. Treatment may be delivered over the course of a year.

There are testimonials and endorsements of the method by many individuals and the benefits include increased mobility, increased mental functioning and improved dexterity.

Similar to other therapies like physiotherapy or occupational therapy, there are no risks to the child or adolescent with cerebral palsy as long as the therapy is being supervised by a trained and experienced therapist.
