Appointments featuring Feldenkrais

Treatment with a Feldenkrais Physiotherapist at Free2Move begins in exactly the same way as you would expect with any Physiotherapist.  We start with a comprehensive assessment of your signs and symptoms. We will only use techniques and exercises based on the Feldenkrais Method when it is clinically indicated. This means that it must fall within the accepted scope of clinical practice. Read more…

Feldenkrais

Feldenkrais Classes

Group classes in the Feldenkrais Method are known as Awareness Through Movement (ATM) lessons. Here you will learn ways to improve your movement. This helps ease pain or tension. Many people find this reduces the need for hands-on treatment. Read more…

Functional Integration Consultations

Inefficient movement habits are often the underlying drivers of pain. Instead of focusing on the pain itself we look at your FUNCTION. What do you want to be able to do effortlessly and painlessly?  We use a combination of Physio and Feldenkrais, as appropriate to your condition. We help you improve your movement functions and integrate them into your everyday life. This is why individual Feldenkrais sessions are known as Functional Integration. Read more…

Our Process

After your initial assessment consultation we recommend:

Series of one to one consultations

In the privacy of our consultation room we gather more information of your condition and goals. We then assess and treat you in sitting, standing or on our adjustable treatment table using Physiotherapy techniques and possibly incorporating the Feldenkrais method. We utilise tools like ultrasound machines, low level laser therapy, and dry needling. Hands on techniques include soft tissue techniques, massage and joint mobilisation.

Often patients need more than one consultation or require regular one on one treatment. Family members can attend if necessary and special accommodations can be made.

At the end of your initial consultation we agree on a way forward. Options include further individual consultations, small group rehab sessions, floor classes. In time you may be able to progress to our Independent Exercise Rehab Programme.

Exercise Rehab Sessions

Our physiotherapists introduce customised exercises individually to clients in small groups of up to 4. They draw from their experience as Pilates and Feldenkrais practitioners. This involves using Pilates reformer and trapeze tables, fit balls and various stabilisation tools in custom exercises.

We also recommend home exercises using little or no equipment.

When we’re both confident you’re ready and you’ve completed your customised program you can book into allotted times to use the Pilates equipment unsupervised at a much lower rate.

Feldenkrais and Pilates Classes

Our physiotherapists hold both Feldenkrais and Pilates floor classes with up to 15 people at “The Chapel Space” on Angove Street. A beautiful space with great light and lots of room to move.

As Feldenkrais practitioners we focus on specific aspects of awareness and movement in a series of classes with a theme. It involves re-training the mind and body to be more aware and efficient at movement such that it can reduce and prevent chronic pain. It provides an ongoing, self-managed treatment to any chronic issues at a price that is sustainable long term.

Our Pilates classes work on core strength, awareness and balance. We focus on the quality of the exercises. When Pilates is done right it can challenge old habits and dramatically increase core strength without overly challenging the body’s limits. Being instructed and supervised by an experienced physio who is still able to give some individual attention in the classes also makes a big difference. The price is affordable to be a long term weekly option to keep you physically motivated.

We aim to improve your quality of life through customised training and treatment.
