More about Freedom to Move

The Freedom to Move exercise class is run at Corner Health by Jessie Haddad. The class is based on exercises used in the Feldenkrais Method in which we use movement for a number of benefits:

To relieve pain and stiffness
To improve flexibility and posture at any age
To alleviate stress, tension and anxiety
To improve balance, co-ordination and range of movement
To free up and challenge stuck patterns of movement
To improve well-being, calm, focus and concentration
To practice mindfulness
For rehabilitation of back and neck pain, and post-surgery, injuries and illness
To optimise performance in sports or the arts
To reduce chronic pain

We run the classes on Tuesday 16h00-17h00 and Thursday 9h00-10h00. Please phone Corner Health if you are interested in attending.

A quote by Dr Moshe Feldenkrais

“I usually make clear that the point of my work is to lead to awareness in action, or the ability to make contact with one’s own skeleton and muscles and with the environment practically simultaneously. This is not ‘relaxation’, for true relaxation can be maintained only when doing nothing. The aim is not complete relaxation but healthy, powerful, easy and pleasurable exertion. The reduction of tension is necessary because efficient movement should be effortless. Inefficiency is sensed as effort and prevents doing more and better.

The gradual reduction of useless effort is necessary in order to increase kinesthetic sensitivity, without which a person cannot become self regulating.”

What clients say about The Class

"I have been going to Feldenkrais exercise session for several years now and I can recommend anyone, any age coming . It has helped me tremendously.”

Carole Delpierre

"Thank you for your awareness through movement classes, I was so thrilled to see that Feldenkrais classes were available in South Africa. In fact I cannot do without them, I am addicted to the new awareness and possibilities that they offer. Also that they are learnt within a single lesson. As a body worker I am conscious of how the body functions and the storing of tension/stress. After every class that you offer, I leave feeling informed on a new level of limitation. You have a wonderful way of making each person feel like an individual with personalized attention. Your questions on how I am feeling sometimes startle me and I have to dig deep to become one with myself and answer honestly. I am so grateful to you for taking time to allow me to focus on myself as most of the day I am assisting others toward health. Your approach is informative as well as caring and this is truly appreciated."

"When I started attending the Freedom to Move classes I was in great pain. I was unable to raise my arms above shoulder height and could not lift anything heavier than a cup. I find the overall benefits of these exercises are subtle and deep, creating a feeling of wellbeing that I have not felt for years. After only eight months of attending classes my whole body is more supple and I am able to lift both my arms above my head."
