Free2Move Feldenkrais: Free your Neck and Jaw Part 1

Hi there,

I'm Jodie Krantz, a Physiotherapist, Clinical Pilates and Feldenkrais Practitioner from Perth in Western Australia. In this video you'll explore a series of gentle movements based on the Feldenkrais Method to help release jaw pain and neck tension.
These exercises can assist with conditions such as neck pain, jaw pain, headaches, teeth clenching and teeth grinding (bruxism).

The first step in changing habitual patterns of tension is to become more aware of them. After doing this lesson you might start to become aware of times when you are clenching your teeth, a pattern that often goes along with holding your breath.

Feldenkrais is very relaxing, however it is not really a relaxation technique! It's a process of creating a more detailed 'brain map' of your body, so that you can become more precise with your movements. This enables you to move more freely and easily - maximum efficiency for minimal effort.

Thanks for viewing my video and please post your comments below and I'll respond promptly. Also please read all the text below before you do the exercises.

THANK YOU!

Jodie
