Merci! I did not do my usual warm-up today and I felt GREAT! I was somehow more smooth and balanced. - Ann Greene., San Francisco Opera Ballet (10 sessions)
I really have no idea what you did and it seemed a bit weird since you didn’t touch my back that much. But I waited a day like you suggested, and then went bouldering [rock climbing].

It was a great experience for me to do Feldenkrais Skiing lessons with you. This has been very empowering. I am in much better control of my body than I have ever been. I starting to realize that success in skiing is not only about technique, but also is about the ability to relax and feel my own body. I was ecstatic because this was the first time that I was not paralyzed by fear, but instead was able to enjoy skiing. Is this my body?! - Mariya Komilova, Odessa, Ukraine. (2 sessions on the slopes)
I'd have to say that I still have a slight amount of pain. But I feel that I have gotten my life back and I can do more things. I started driving again and can get myself around. I'm doing my own cooking and cleaning around the house and I don't feel like I have to depend so much on my children. Thanks. - Janet, Senior Citizen, Centerville, Utah - Janet, Senior Citizen, Centerville, (12 sessions)
My back is completely flat when I lie down and it doesn’t hurt! I’m a believer!! - Jessie Thompson, Salt Lake City (3 sessions).
