The Feldenkrais Method allow people, of any age or ability, the opportunity to relearn and discover improved uses of your body in basic everyday movements.

Improvements increase your range of motion, balance and flexibility.

Hypertension
Commonly referred to as "high blood pressure", is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated

Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a form of Asian Bodywork that balances the energy in our body/minds. This practice comes from the Eastern medical tradition that understands dis-ease as stemming from imbalances in the electro-magnetic currents coursing through our bodies. During a session these currents are manipulated by gentle pressure applied with hands or fingers on particular points of the body, the same points used by acupuncturists. People generally experience a session that is relaxing and invigorating.
