I have been experiencing painful upper arm and shoulder conditions caused by bursitis and tendonitis. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who prescribed cortisol shots and several Physical Therapy sessions, with limited success. I continued to experience pain and restricted motion in my right arm, which I rely on for work and painting. Then, I was told about the Feldenkrais Method. As it so happens, the Center has employed a certified Feldenkrais practitioner – Suzanne. Long story short – Suzanne has worked with me for several months, and slowly but surely -the pain has almost diminished, and my range of motion is almost fully restored. I continue to see Suzanne to work on my neck and knees, which have occasional discomfort and pain. I have learned a lot about my bad habits of sitting and walking, which often contribute to long-term pain that many experience as we get older. I highly recommend trying this method of treatment – but give it time. Results won’t happen quickly, but with patience and willingness to try alternative therapy – you will notice many improvements.
