The Feldenkrais Method was created by Moshe Feldenkrais (1904-1984), a physicist and prominent Israeli judoka of Russian origin. After a serious knee injury, he noticed that his posture, the way he moved and his mental well-being all had an impact on his joint. Passionate about neuroscience and psychology, but also a specialist in self-defence techniques and combat sports, he developed a gentle method of Awareness Through Movement, based on feeling, effort reduction and self-learning.
