Testimonials

Suzie, you're awesome! I have been to almost every type of practitioner imaginable in the last 17 years in pursuit of some relief for my neck and back pain: MD – including surgery, Chiropractor, Acupuncture, Massage, Yoga, Balance and more. When I first came to your office I had lost faith that I could break the cycle of pain I was in and I was doubtful there was hope. Thankfully you proved me wrong. Working with you has produced more profound and lasting results then I have experienced anywhere else.

My experience with Feldenkrais has been very positive. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis five years ago. I have struggled with problems with balance, stiffness, diminished strength, numbness, and profound fatigue. After taking Feldenkrais classes, I have begun to discover other, more efficient ways to walk, move and get through my daily routine. The Feldenkrais lessons have also taught me to focus on how I am feeling and to recognize when it is time to take a rest. This helps me to avoid or reduce the debilitating fatigue that I live with every day. I am very grateful for opportunity to learn ways to help myself. You have truly empowered me.

Thank You!

I had been a Bikram yoga practitioner for over 30 years, but in the years following a hip fracture I needed a different more subtle way to release pain, stiffness, and allow the body's inherent flexibility to re-emerge. I've been truly amazed and grateful for the result obtainable in the Feldenkreis method— with apparent little effort—through the skillful guidance of Sue Lundgren, with whom I also worked privately.

I have been intrigued by this subtle form of retraining the nervous system, which I recommend to patients whose movement has been restricted by injury, cerebral palsy, stroke, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain. I find it to be much more useful than standard physical therapy. I also believe that the Feldenkrais Method® can help older people achieve greater range of motion and flexibility, and help all of us feel more comfortable in our bodies.

As an aging ex-jock, nursing bad knees and shoulders, Functional Integration® and Awareness Through Movement® work helps me develop insight into how my body operates and how it compensates for old injuries.  With a more solid understanding of "what is," I can start to make intelligent choices about how I want to move, sit, stand, and just function.

I was having constant pain in my hand, wrist, and arm. After six months of Functional Integration lessons and doing the assigned exercises, the pain in my hand occurred only infrequently. The process of change through awareness is something you have to experience to believe.

As a violinist, the work has not only sped my recovery from injury, but greatly enhanced my sense of physical integrity, ease and grace—even with an activity as “unnatural” as playing the violin!

---------------

I had suffered with chronic shoulder and arm pain that had developed into severe numbness and tingling. Nothing I did brought me any long-term relief until I started with Feldenkrais®. Through a series of Feldenkrais lessons, the chronic pain, numbness, and tingling resolved.  More importantly, I learned how to manage and maintain my body to avoid these problems in the future.

After years of back problems, the Feldenkrais Method has given me the ability to remain free of pain. They are by far the most effective and pleasurable exercises I have ever done.

---------------

About two years ago, I tripped over a raised bit of sidewalk that had up heaved from a tree root.  The jolt caused a disk in my back to herniate, resulting in a tremendous amount of pain and reduced mobility.  I eventually had an MRI.  The diagnosis was clear; I would have to have surgery.  Not wanting to do that, I found out about the Feldenkrais Method and decided to give it a try.  I completed 15 Functional Integration sessions, and was amazed to go from facing back surgery to being pain free.

The Feldenkrais Method has allowed me to play pain free golf, without worrying about injury.

---------------

The Feldenkrais Method is the most sophisticated and effective method I have seen for the prevention and reversal of deterioration and function.
