Relief for a Stiff Neck

“Thank you, you’ve just saved me £40!” It’s always nice to have good feedback and this class member discovered that a Feldenkrais lesson can help relieve stiffness in the neck and shoulders as well as improving your movement range. What was the lesson that caused such happiness? A classic from Moshe Feldenkrais’ Alexander Yanai series called “The Pelvic Clock”, here’s a link to the recording of my class last week: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Nj8glDIqr_bPCHLa4d0Lj96AnY1zMsxV/view?usp=sharing

 

The importance of rotation

I’m really looking forward to leading my workshop tomorrow on Releasing Neck, Shoulders and Upper Body”. Stiffness and lack of mobility in these areas can result in headaches, poor posture and back pain and it is important to maintain some flexibility here. Unfortunately, our modern lives often ask us to spend long periods looking straight ahead, at a screen, a monitor or through a car windscreen so remember to take some time to twist and turn and check you still have some peripheral vision – it might make you a better driver and it will definitely ward off pain and tension!
