Feldenkrais Method · Sleep
Let your body become your best sleep aid
"不要试图入睡。只要真正地放松身体，Sleep will come on its own。" — Moshe Feldenkrais
As we age or live sedentary lives, many feel their joints rusting. Forceful stretching often backfires.
Feldenkrais unique understanding: joint stiffness is a software problem, not hardware. Your joint structures may be normal, but your nervous system limits their range for protection.
Through extremely small, slow, effortless movements, Feldenkrais proves to the nervous system that this range is safe, gradually unlocking natural mobility.
Use tiny movements to tell the nervous system this is safe.
Train each joint to move independently in all directions.
The slower the movement, the clearer the signal and the better the unlocking effect.
Knee issues may relate to hip and ankle. Feldenkrais works from the whole system.
Lie on side. Extremely slowly, with tiny range, externally rotate shoulder then internally rotate. Range no more than 2cm.
Lie on back, one leg extended, other knee bent. Imagine knee as compass. Extremely slowly, draw 5cm circles with knee.
Lie on back, knees bent. Extremely slowly, tilt knees to one side (no more than 10 degrees), feeling sequential twist.
「The freedom of a joint is not measured by how far it can move, but by how comfortably, controlled, and aware it can move within its range.」
— Feldenkrais Principle
