Stop Fighting Your Body: A Pain-Free Approach to Moving Better at Any Age

In this episode, I interviewed David Zemach-Bersin, a 50-year veteran practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method. David explains how this unique approach to movement and pain management works with the brain's neuroplasticity to create lasting change without pain or strain.

Key Points:

- The Feldenkrais Method focuses on the brain's learning capacity rather than muscle exercise

- Unlike traditional exercise, it doesn't rely on effort or "no pain, no gain" philosophy

- The method can help reduce pain, improve movement, and decrease stress at any age

- Practitioners call their sessions "lessons" rather than exercises to emphasize the learning aspect

- The approach can be particularly effective for anxiety and trauma-related physical symptoms

About David Zemach Burson:

- Among the first practitioners trained in the Feldenkrais Method in the US

- Has been teaching for over 50 years

- Founder of Feldenkrais Access (feldenkraisaccess.com)
