Neck Pain: How Can the Feldenkrais Method® Help?

Break Free from Neck Pain with the Feldenkrais Method

Neck pain can feel like an unwelcome companion, lurking in the background and making every day a little more challenging. Whether it's the stiffness that greets you after a long day hunched over a computer, the persistent tension headaches that seem to arise from nowhere, or the limited range of motion that turns looking over your shoulder into an awkward ordeal, neck pain can significantly impact your quality of life.

Unfortunately, many traditional methods of dealing with neck pain often include stretching your neck and strengthening muscles around it. This rarely brings lasting improvements, because pain and stiffness in the neck is usually a result caused by overall bad posture and inefficient movement habits.

The good news is that you don’t have to live with this pain. The Feldenkrais Method offers a way to relieve neck pain, by helping a person improve posture, balance, coordination and naturally move in a way that no longer builds neck tension.

How Feldenkrais Supports Lasting Neck Pain Relief

Lasting Improvement

Feldenkrais employs soothing, non-invasive movements that focus on relaxing tight muscles in the neck and shoulders. These gentle techniques are designed to release built-up tension, relieving pressure and easing pain. Rather than forcing your body into unnatural positions, I use a gentle touch to guide your movements, helping you find your body's natural state of comfort.

Expanded Range of Motion

Through mindful and gradual movement, Feldenkrais opens up flexibility in the neck. Many people find that their range of motion has been limited due to pain and tension, making everyday activities a chore. With Feldenkrais, you'll engage in gentle exercises that enhance your neck's flexibility, making turning your head or looking up feel much more comfortable and effortless.

Improving Alignment Naturally

One of the core principles of the Feldenkrais Method is bringing awareness to your body's alignment. When you become more attuned to how you carry yourself, you can make small adjustments that significantly reduce strain on your neck. This awareness allows you to move in ways that alleviate discomfort rather than exacerbate it. A certified Feldenkrais practitioner will help you understand your body's unique patterns and guide you toward a more supportive alignment.
