in to see a Feldenkrais practitioner. He needs to bend down to get
things out of the oven over 50 times an evening, yet he is bending in a
way that causes strain. Because he wants to keep working, he is
interested in learning how to move without this strain.
 In the
session, the practitioner gently moves his skeleton to clarify new ways
for him to relate to bending, ways he cannot access through his own
long-standing habits. When he comes to sitting, the practitioner helps
him translate what he learned into being upright, then into
standing. In all orientations the chef learns, "I can bend this way. It doesn't hurt!"
Bending now begins with a different impulse in his brain. And he can breathe easier, stand taller, and move from the center. He has learned to counter-balance his pelvis with his head and use all his joints at once. He can continue to cook for many years to come with this newfound understanding.
