Feldenkrais Method for Children with Cerebral Palsy

Feldenkrais is rapidly gaining popularity as a form of therapy for children with cerebral palsy. Although many insurance companies will refuse to pay, some physiotherapists are trained in using the Feldenkrais method and incorporating it into their therapy sessions.

Feldenkrais is about become self aware and focusing on physical movement. It is more often used to complement therapy and not on its own. Athletes use it to enhance performance, and many people report improvement using Feldenkrais after a stroke. More recently Feldenkrais has been used with children who are living with cerebral palsy.
