This is the most remarkable case history I have ever heard and a lot of
the credit goes to you. As a physical therapist who enjoys working with
a variety of neurological conditions, your story intrigued me and I am
going to save it on my hard drive for years to come.

But from what little I know of Feldenkrais, I do not find it much
different than other techniques that physical therapists use. PNF
(proprioreceptive neuromuscular facilitation) operates on a similar
premise as Feldenkrais as do Bobath and Root techniques.
