Alan Cameron is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and spoke at a Rotary Karori meeting on 25 July 2017. Feldenkrais is an educational approach that aims to help people who have physical limitations to understand why they feel the way they do and to learn how to move differently to overcome the problem. Feldenkrais is not a medical treatment and is different to massage and chiropractic, which work directly with muscles and bones. It is about working with the nervous system and the coordination of movement.
Using the ability of the brain to relearn, and using gentle, slow body movements, habitual patterns of movement that are inefficient or causing discomfort are identified and modified.
Areas of focus are balance and stability, coordination and flexibility, and chronic pain.
