How do you know if Feldenkrais is for you? One of the best ways is to find out what other people are saying about this extraordinary method. Below and on the following pages you can see glowing testimonials concerning the Feldenkrais Method�, efficiency of movement, and more specifically, Beth Rubenstein herself and the work she has done to help people learn how to function at their optimal level .
I have been suffering from fibromyalgia for 12 years and until I went to Beth Rubenstein I could not find anyone who could help me deal with my pain.
By doing Feldenkrais with Beth I have become much more aware of my own body and learned ways in which I can move to avoid or alleviate my pain. I know if I have a "flare " that I can go to Beth and get relief. I can also do movements at home which help me.
Traditional physical therapy has only exacerbated my problems. Beth has the gift of working gently "with" me, as opposed to trying to force my body to do things which make me feel worse. She is a perceptive and extremely competent practitioner and I feel lucky to have found her.
I am a 48 year old right handed woman, referred with a diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I was unable to use my right arm and suffered from terrible headaches.
Before I went to Beth Rubenstein, I went to physical therapy for a long time but my pain just became worse. After my first session with Beth, I still did not believe that I was going to get better. However, she kept telling me that it takes time and now, I can happily say that she was right. Today, after five months of Feldenkrais sessions with her I have no reason to take pain relievers and I have returned to gardening, traveling and taking care of my family, which I could not do before I met Beth.
