History

Established in 2002.

Cynthia Birney’s work in the Feldenkrais (FEL den krice) Method® allows a remarkable muscular-​skeletal reeducation that reduces or eliminates pain while creating a vibrant awareness of effective, pleasurable movement, sensing and thinking in our everyday lives. The method uses gentle, highly precise movement explorations to cultivate this awareness, evoking these beneficial changes by accessing and harnessing the extraordinary repatterning power of the human central nervous system. Cynthia’s skilled use of the method’s neurologically meaningful processes allows pain and stiffness to recede as optimal movement emerges and self awareness expands.
