Functional Integration® - or FI® for short - is the gentle, effective, hands-on approach of the Feldenkrais Method. Each lesson is unique and tailored to the individual and what is going on for them on that particular day.

A finer kinesthetic perception of one's own habits leads to greater ease, efficiency, awareness, and control. Easier posture, increased mobility, clearer stability and lightness of movement and thought are among the qualities improved by these lessons.

We work with pain management, injury recovery, improving mobility + balance, body awareness + liberation, neurological conditions (TBI, concussion), performance optimization, and/or reconnecting with your natural abilities to move, think, sense, and feel. Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, knee pain, foot pain, and hand pain are all commonly addressed with Functional Integration.

During Functional Integration sessions, the practitioner's touch, combined with verbal guidance, creates a supportive and interactive environment for learning. By addressing the individual's unique needs and utilizing gentle manipulations, the sessions facilitate increased self-awareness and a sense of ease and comfort in movement. The practitioner's role is to help the client discover new possibilities for movement and develop a more integrated and efficient way of functioning. Functional Integration is beneficial for anyone seeking to improve their movement abilities, overcome limitations, and optimize their physical and mental well-being.

I currently offer Functional Integration Sunday to Thursday in Jamaica Plain and Tuesday afternoon in Cambridge. Book a session or a complimentary phone consult and fill out the new student intake (see below).
