Career Opportunities & Professional Benefits
Public recognition of the Feldenkrais Method
is growing as new scientific studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the
method. At the same time, our culture is becoming increasingly interested
in complementary and alternative medical approaches. The Feldenkrais Method
is at the leading edge of alternative approaches.
Because the Feldenkrais Method is a general approach to human learning and functioning, it can be applied in a wide variety of fields and settings and there are abundant opportunities for developing new applications of the method. Today, there are over 7,000 Feldenkrais Practitioners around the globe. Many maintain independent private practices in the Feldenkrais Method, and others apply the work in such diverse fields as physical and occupational therapy, child development, rehabilitation, psychology, education, ergonomics, gerontology, theater, dance, music, athletic performance and massage therapy.
