<p>See my previous post here for a bit of my medical history (CP, etc): <a href="http://paleohacks.com/questions/93048/paleo-and-disability-my-story-but-curious-about-yours" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/questions/93048/paleo-and-disability-my-story-but-curious-about-yours</a></p> <p>A more specific question related to those issues. Anyone here had experience with the Feldenkrais Method? As much as I love the idea of something like MovNat, I really need something rehabilitative first.</p> <p>Secondly, I know there's books on this. So should I tech myself, or is it actually worth going to a PT who knows the method or finding workshops?</p>

<p>Yes. I worked one-to-one with a practitioner in the UK. </p> <p>Was really helpful to work with someone knowledgeable.</p>

<p>I don't have experience with Feldenkrais, but have been seeing an <a href="http://www.egoscue.com/" rel="nofollow">Egoscue</a> therapist since last October shortly after an orthopedic surgeon prescribed fusing nearly my entire lower lumbar spine (yikes).</p> <p>Like Feldenrkrias or <a href="http://www.alexandertechnique.com/" rel="nofollow">Alexander</a> or even strength training systems like <a href="http://www.bodybyscience.net/home.html/" rel="nofollow">Body By Science</a> (which I did up until my unrelated back fail), Egoscue is straightforward in principle and could be done on your own. </p> <p>But if you have access to a trainer or therapist and can afford it, I definitely recommend going the assisted route. I've found it very helpful to have someone answer questions, encourage me, and frankly <em>push</em> me. </p>

<p>A skilled Feldenkrais practitioner can help you to re-establish your overall coordination and awareness as you move. Feldenkrais is not a "magic bullet" or a treatment. It IS an amazing process that will streamline everything you do, and can provide a foundation not only for your recovery, but to prevent future injury.<br> You might enjoy checking out the blog at <a href="http://malepatternfitness.com" rel="nofollow">http://malepatternfitness.com</a> .

<p>I can highly recommend it, both going to a practitioner (especially helpful with anything you're new to) and getting the book. I like Egoscue as well.</p>

<p>After knee surgery, I began to favor one side, so I had to seek out methods to help address that. I used Egoscue, Active Release Therapy, Position Release Therapy, Structural Alignment and Pilates (reformer based, not floor). I'd suggest trying different techniques to find whatever addresses your issues best.</p>

<p>I just found your page and am grateful, I am saying that with a smile since tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I see you guys haven't posted since February so I am taking my chances that you will see this. </p> <p>I too am struggling with issues of pain, mainly in hips and low back but now in wrist and hand. I am reading and researching info on Egoscue and Feldenkrais as quickly as I can and would love to find someone within driving distances that I could consult with. I am in central florida and found (via internet) on the west coast, Sarasota , a Felednkrais clinic so that is a possibility. Also I am looking at videos of feldenkrais but haven't found any videos of people doing egoscue e-sises, that would be helpful. I am excited about these methodologies as they make sense to me. I would just be happier if I could find a support person. As I am typing this I decided to call my massage therapist that I have not seen in awhile. I stopped going to her about the same time I discovered that I was gluten intolerant and I was thrilled to learn this as I thought it would address inflammation and therefore my chronic pain issues. However it only seems to be addressing digestive issues and I feel like the pain issues are musculurskeletal in nature. Hopefully she will have some suggestions or insight.</p>
