OutStanding Knees

Over time, your posture and movement patterns can “make or break” your knees.
Knees in need. There’s no shortage of them. One in four adults in America suffers from chronic knee pain.
Standing puts 80% of your body weight on them, walking 150%, and other activities – climbing stairs, running, squatting, carrying a heavy object – up to 4 times your body weight.
The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the human body. And it is vulnerable to overuse and injury when forced to move outside its intended range of motion.
Strengthening and stretching muscles around the knee help significantly to heal and prevent painful knee conditions like inflammation, meniscus and ligament tears, tendonitis, and arthritis.
But these localized approaches still leave us “weak in the knees.”
What’s the missing link to strong and healthy knees?
A whole-body approach addressing the root causes of most knee conditions and injuries: suboptimal posture, alignment, and movement patterns.
Here is some good news! Your knees can heal and respond well to improved alignment and optimization of how you move. The Feldenkrais Method offers excellent training in posture and movement patterns that integrates the entire body (technically called kinetic chain: feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, and the whole spine with the head). Adding flexibility, strength, power, and endurance training provide an outstanding tool for preventing and healing injuries and managing arthritis.
Learn to use your knees with greater intelligence, awareness, ease and efficiency.
Balance flexibility, strength, and stability in the knee joint and entire leg.
Improved coordination of the hips, knees and ankles with the spine.
Discover ways to protect and preserve your knees to enjoy the pleasure of movement for years to come.

Fine class. Teacher is sincere, methodical, patient and caring. He shares his depth of knowledge through diagrams, all the slow explorations, and his engaging question and answer periods at the end.
