Kinesthetic Edge Premiers Feldenkrais Method

New website serves as a resource for web-based training

Kinesthetic Edge is the advantage you gain when you train your kinesthetic intelligence. It is also the name of a new website (www.kinestheticedge.com) where you can download Feldenkrais programs that are designed to help you move better and feel better while pursuing activities that you love. The website was launched by Andrea Higgins, a Feldenkrais Practitioner and former professional ballet dancer, who first discovered the Feldenkrais Method while recovering from a knee injury.

It is not unusual for dancers to seek out Feldenkrais training when traditional forms of physical therapy do not adequately resolve injury or chronic pain issues. But Higgins, who was then pursuing a graduate degree in dance, saw potential for Feldenkrais to be integrated with traditional forms of training in dance and sports, to help reduce the chance of injury in the first place – not just through strengthening and stretching, but by training the kinesthetic intelligence, which is the ability of the body and mind to learn through movement. When your kinesthetic IQ is high, you move more efficiently, your alignment improves and chronic pain brought on by bad posture or unhealthy movement habits subsides. You look better, you feel better, and on the most basic level of functioning and survival, you perform better. 

Higgins’ latest program, Body Knowledge, is now available on the Kinesthetic Edge website. The program includes three thirty-minute lessons that introduce basic lesson structures and learning strategies of the Feldenkrais Method. You can download and listen to the lessons on your computer using Windows Media Player or iTunes, and you can even burn the program to compact disc or an MP3 player to take with you to the dance studio. The cost of the program is $15. For further information go to www.kinestheticedge.com or call 508-446-5538.
