Programs

In addition to individual and group FELDENKRAIS® sessions at Movement Options studio and our popular FELDENKRAIS in-Action Trips and Retreats, Movement Options offers several other innovative programs:

Bones For Life®

Training in safe, non-jarring weight-bearing movements in an efficiently-aligned skeleton can improve bone density, strength and resilience. Gentle, springy exercises stimulate bone strength & build support for dynamic movement!

Based on the FELDENKRAIS® Method, Bones For Life training is designed to safely support the transmission of force directly through the skeletal structure to generate and maintain bone health. Each session offers safe weight bearing challenges to build healthy bones, so people who are limited in movement or vulnerable to injury or pain can participate.

Workplace

On-The-Job Injury Prevention Programs teach participants biomechanically sound ways of moving to accomplish work tasks without jeopardizing well-being. Guided movements help employees identify, then develop a stable, healthy base of support from which to perform job tasks. As the body reprograms its movement patterns, deep-seated habits begin to disengage and are replaced by healthier action patterns. Employees readily adopt more efficient movements, better maintain stamina and productivity, minimize strain, reduce muscular effort, overuse and risk of injury.

Palliative Care

Palliative Care Programs specialize in applications with Alaska Native Elders, sharing a story of hope, comfort and the integration of mind, body and spirit.

By gently guiding patients through subtle movements that invite improvement in their own sense of well-being, Movement Options works in partnership with patients to offer them a greater sense of control over their quality of life.

“Movement is life. Life is a process. Improve the quality of the process and you improve the quality of life itself.”
