Moshe Feldenkrais, the founder of the Feldenkrais Method, believed that improving human functioning could be achieved by increasing self-awareness through movement. His concept of neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to change and adapt – has become a cornerstone of modern understanding of human movement and development.
