Product Description
Review
"Superb. Very practical. An incredible, quick, and easy tool for anyone who suffers chronic pain and loss of flexibility." -- Alex Shester, M.D.
"The best how-to body-improvement book available." -- Harold Bloomfield, M. D.
"Two audiences have responded to the value of Feldenkrais's work: people afflicted with physical problems and pain, and those who make their living from beauty or finesse of movement such as musicians, athletes, dancers, and actors. Feldenkrais watchers and pupils have included violinist Yehudi Menuhin, former Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion, anthropologist Margaret Mead, and Dr. Karl Pribram, M.D., director of the Neuro-Psychology Laboratories of Stanford University." -- Suzanne Larronde, Modern Maturity
"With Relaxercise you can expand your range of motion, flexibility, speed, and endurance, enhancing your performance in any athletic pursuit and your everyday movement as well." -- Judith Elman, Ph.D., sport psychologist

I LOVE this book - but know a bit of Feldenkrais! helpful,
By ShuChuRyoku (TORONTO, ONTARIO Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Relaxercise (Paperback)
i give this book '4' stars because, had i picked this up B4 learning a bit about feldenkrais, i would have done the exercises totally wrong.....not to say that they are incorrectly positioned in the book.. they are not... ...but most people: - don't rest enough, - go too far, - ignore discomfort without even knowing it - don't rest afterwards... ...what feldenkrais teaches to pay attention to... so, i'm not a feldenkrais fanatic (maybe i'm going in that direction though) but this book is Excellent in its content, and i find it superbly done, if you take lots of breaks, rest often, don't do habitual tasks in between practicing (take it easy! seriously), and breathe, A LOT... othwerwise, None of it works (and yet, if you do those things, ALL OF IT WORKS... better than anything i've tried).

Outstanding Product.,

This review is from: Relaxercise (Paperback)
This book is an outstanding contribution to the field of health, fitness, and sports. I have used it prior to playing sports to align my posture and increase the efficiency of my movements. I have recommmended this book to clients after they have finished their Medical Doctor and Physcial Therapist Interventions. I believe it assists traditional medical interventions to be even more effective by naturally restoring lost mobility and movement patterns.

This review is from: Relaxercise (Paperback)
I've read Amazon reviews for years, but never bothered to write one. I have to write a review of this book to tell people how wonderful it is. I own many Feldenkrais books, and this one takes first prize for ease of use and effectiveness. It really works! The instructions are so simple and well-illustrated - and the exercise so short and easy to do - you'll never want to stop doing them. Look, the proof is in the pudding, and I've used this book religiously for over 6 months! It has helped straighten my scoliosis and I feel, move and look like a brand new person. Please, if you don't like it, send it back, but spend the money if you're at all interested in learning about the brilliant Feldenkrais method. It'll be the best $15 you ever spend. It was for me.
