Frequently asked questions

What is Feldenkrais?

The Feldenkrais Method® was named after Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais (1904-1984). As a nuclear physicist, engineer and enthusiastic martial artist, he developed a highly effective system for promoting learning and health over decades of research.   

When is Feldenkrais used?

Feldenkrais bodywork is suitable for all people, regardless of age and physical condition. The method helps us to become more physically and mentally flexible and can be applied to all our activities. For example, in cases of tension in the body, chronic pain, etc.

What is the aim of the Feldenkrais Method?

The aim is to dissolve ingrained patterns of movement in order to recognize and change long-term pathogenic behaviours. This also affects the psyche of a person, who expresses their mood and state of mind with their movements. 

Do I have to be flexible or athletic to practise Feldenkrais?

No. Feldenkrais is a very gentle method that you can practise at your own pace and according to your individual abilities.  

I have an injury / chronic pain / physical limitations. Can I still take part?

Please contact me in advance on 079 940 50 45 or norazbrun@feldenkrais.ch and clarify your individual situation with me.

How does an individual lesson / functional integration work?

In a joint consultation (anamnesis), we record your concerns. This will result in an individual lesson for you. You will lie clothed on your back, stomach or side and be positioned with aids to make you comfortable. The touch and movements are usually non-verbal.

What does an individual treatment cost?

A single lesson of Functional Integration costs 150.-/h. Please check directly with your supplementary insurance whether it will cover part of the treatment costs.
If you cannot afford the treatments, please contact me at norazbrun@feldenkrais.ch or 079 940 50 45 and we will see together what solutions are available.

Will my insurance pay for my Feldenkrais lessons?

I am registered with the EMR and therefore recognized by health insurance companies for the complementary Feldenkrais method (including Visana and Helsana). If you have taken out supplementary insurance, this may cover a large part of the treatment costs for individual lessons. Please clarify this directly with your supplementary insurance provider in advance.

How can I cancel my appointment for an individual lesson?

If you are unable to attend, please let us know 24 hours in advance so that the reserved time does not have to be charged. Please send an e-mail to norazbrun@feldenkrais.ch or SMS to 079 940 50 45.
