Claiming and Reclaiming Movement: Functional, Somatic Movement using the Feldenkrais Method®

Movement can become more challenging as we age, and for those living with Parkinson’s disease, these challenges may feel overwhelming. The sensation of being “trapped” in your own body can lead to frustration and despair, but hope is closer than you think.

Cynthia Allen, an experienced Feldenkrais Practitioner, recently joined Robert Rodgers, PhD, on the Parkinson’s Recovery Radio Network to explore how the Feldenkrais Method® offers a gentle, transformative approach to movement rehabilitation. This unique method focuses on mindful, intentional movement strategies that can help those living with Parkinson’s discover new possibilities for ease and freedom in their bodies.

Drawing from her personal journey of overcoming chronic pain, Cynthia shares how gentle, mindful movement can awaken the body’s potential for transformation. She covers various modalities such as the Feldenkrais Method and Bones for Life® and provides practical exercises designed to enhance mobility, balance, and overall awareness.
