‘I have lived with daily pain for so long that I cannot adequately express the feeling of “no pain” and “quality movement”. The no pain moments are extending to longer periods of time and I truly relish it. If it makes any sense, Feldenkrais has helped me to develop space between my body and movement, whereas movement used to impact so greatly on my physical body and, in turn, my state of mind. My overall wellbeing is greatly enhanced by this one hour at the loft each week. Cheers!’
