Even the Smallest Movement Ripples Through the Entire Body
Briefly

Moshé Feldenkrais’ experiences with injury led to the understanding that the mind and body are deeply interconnected. After suffering from chronic pain due to injuries, Feldenkrais discovered that his brain played a crucial role in his physical recovery. Professor Guy Claxton emphasizes this interconnectedness, asserting that we do not own our bodies; instead, we are our bodies. This perspective suggests that mental function is reliant on physical movement, underscoring the importance of holistic approaches in therapy and healing.
Even the smallest movement in one part of the body involves the entire body. This reflects Feldenkrais’ perspective on the interconnectedness of movement and thought.
By changing how we move, we can enhance how we think, as supported by the experiences of Moshé Feldenkrais following his personal injuries.
