Moshé Feldenkrais, born in Ukraine in 1904, was influenced by soccer, judo, and physics. After a knee injury in soccer led to ongoing pain, he created a movement education method that promotes healing. Psychiatrist Norman Doidge later popularized Feldenkrais's approach in his books, emphasizing that movement and brain adaptability are crucial for recovery. Feldenkrais recognized that pain often arises from learned habits rather than just structural issues, advocating for a focus on slow, intentional movements to aid healing and functionality, influencing modern physical therapy practices.
Feldenkrais believed that difficulties with pain management were due to how brains adapt to structural abnormalities, not just the abnormalities themselves.
Most conventional treatments assume function relies solely on bodily structure, which is a limitation according to Feldenkrais's approach.
