Feldenkrais® South Africa

with Barbara McCrea

‘It's all in the way you move’

What is the Feldenkrais Method?

Feldenkrais Method in practice

An innovative approach to movement and rehabilitation, the Feldenkrais Method® uses mindful movements to help relieve stiffness, pain, and restrictions. This unique method can help you experience lasting improvements in physical and mental well-being.

It has never been easier to access the Feldenkrais Method with regular Zoom or in person classes.

How Does It Work?

Mindful movement

Developed by physicist and movement expert Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, this method uses gentle movements without force, sweating, or strain. The goal is to increase awareness of how movement works, allowing the brain to re-pattern movement for greater efficiency. Suitable for everyone, from athletes to desk workers to older adults.

What’s the Magic?

Relaxing movements

The Feldenkrais Method® promotes moving smarter, not harder. Through guided Awareness through Movement classes, you can improve balance, reduce pain, and gain tools for lasting self-care.

There is nothing like the effective, educative and soothing touch used in the Feldenkrais Method to help unlock and repattern movements, the manual therapy component of this Method (Functional Integration) can literally work wonders. There is no limit to improvement, change is always an option. The practise of Feldenkrais can be an indispensable tool for physical and mental well-being.

How Do You Take Feldenkrais?

Group Feldenkrais class

This Method (Fel-den-krais, which rhymes with rice), can be taken in weekly group classes, or you can have one-on-one treatments. Day-long workshops allow you to go deeper. Self improvement and body awareness is at the heart of the Method. Feldenkrais is a rare and sought after commodity in South Africa, with professional training only available overseas.

About Barbara

Barbara McCrea

Barbara McCrea

Barbara brings more than 30 years of rich experience to movement coaching and manual therapy. She trained in the UK and worked successfully in a prominent London practice for several years before returning to South Africa to pioneer the work of Dr Moshe Feldenkrais in Cape Town. Though the Feldenkrais Method is her first love, she is also trained in therapeutic massage and several body/mind modalities. Her earlier work as a writer and teacher gives her language a depth of imagery and creativity which helps people reach inside themselves, to track their sensations, to live an embodied life where they can be grounded and at home in themselves.

Barbara is a skilled teacher - she has given many workshops and classes over the years, including specialised CPD courses for health professionals around the country. She has also lectured by invitation outside South Africa in Zimbabwe, Malawi and further afield in Sweden and Scotland. Barbara has a special interest and experience in helping musicians, equestrians and swimmers, as well as people with muscular-skeletal difficulties, chronic pain, and neurological impairment.
