The Tell-Tale Brain is Ramachandran at his best, a profoundly intriguing and compelling guide to the intricacies of the human brain.’ Oliver Sacks (quoted at Amazon.com)

Awareness through movement (ATM) book lessons

Autumn 2011

Once again I’ll be teaching from one of Moshe Feldenkrais’s easiest to read book Awareness through movement – one class a week for 12 weeks.

This classic series encourages body and mind to work together.

Attend class and experience:

• Improved posture
• Better breathing
• Increased vitality
• Clearer thinking
• Greater awareness

More details

This summer Lengthening hamstrings and spine will have a special focus on balance and locomotion.

• Balance better
• Bend comfortably
• Walk freely
• Reach further
• Stand well

Lengthen hamstrings and spine class details

“I believe that the unity of mind and body is an objective reality.
They are not just parts somehow related to each other, but an inseparable whole while functioning.
A brain without a body could not think … the muscles themselves are part and parcel of our higher functions.”
from the article ‘Mind and body’ 1964

More importantly, the articles are easy to read and give concise descriptions of the Feldenkrais Method from differing perspectives.

My favourite aspect is the photographs of a younger Moshe in different environments, such as in judo uniform and being thrown by his sister.

I’m back in Perth and ready for work.
(My trip home went very well. Thanks for your kind messages and support.)

This approach to the rehabilitation of adults with central nervous system (CNS) pathology originated in the work of Berta and Karel Bobath and has evolved over more than 50 years. The rationale for current practice is based partly upon present-day knowledge of motor control, motor learning, neural and muscle plasticity, and biomechanics. It is also based upon the experience of expert clinicians and takes client needs and expectations into account (Sackett 2000). International Bobath Instructors Association

While Bobath evolved to assist adults with CNS problems, this approach is also used to help people to improve functional capacity, at any age, from birth onwards.

Sarah has attended other Bobath workshops and worked with three of Perth’s most experienced Bobath trained physiotherapists, in stroke rehabilitation and early intervention for infants with cerebral palsy.

She currently uses these skills and experience to work with clients with pain, movement and neurological problems in her private practice.

The works will include road widening and kerbing modifications at the north-west and southern corners of the intersection. Pedestrian islands will also be installed.

I have been advised that the works will take approximately two weeks to complete, subject to unforeseen delays and favourable weather conditions.

While the works are in progress part of the footpath will be closed and pedestrians will need to allow extra time to allow the detour.

The speed limit has been reduced near the works and I suggest allowing some extra time to drive to your appointment.

Parking adjacent to the works will not be allowed, however parking near the studio should still be easy.
