More Comments about Pain Relief and The Feldenkrais Method

"I am awed to see how much I have benefited from your interest and commitment to The Feldenkrais Method. I found it healing in a loving way. I felt it touched me deeper than I could have ever imagined. I felt the methodology and the way you presented it to me valued one thing that I feared I had lost since the accident: my brain's ability to learn new things. I learned my brain has the ability to pick the best way of moving out of all the new modes you have gently encouraged me to learn. As a result, now I can move in ways that reduce my pain.

"I originally went to see Karen Dold because of constant knee pain that was aggravated by walking, going up and down stairs, and made very painful by running after my kids. After the first session, I was able to walk quickly for 30 minutes every day without knee pain. After 2-3 more sessions, I am able to quickly go up and down the stairs without pain."

"My constantly painful toe improved considerably within a day after our first session and was completely free of pain after the second session. I was pain-free after years of taping it (at my doctor's suggestion) and a low-level throbbing ache even while at rest. I had been re-fracturing the toe with increasing frequency and with as little stress as my dog stepping on it. I discovered an ease and range of balance and motion that has not only eliminated chronic pain but also improved my flexibility, coordination, and balance."
