This subject introduces students to the Feldenkrais method through awareness of movement lessons, discussions, handling activities and a clinical visit. The Feldenkrais method is comprised of awareness through movement, where the student is taken through structured movement sequences usually in a group and functional integration that is one- to-one hands on.
