WHY IS FUNCTIONAL INTEGRATION DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TYPES OF BODYWORK?

🌀Unlike many forms of bodywork, which may manipulate the body through more forceful techniques, FI uses a soft, exploratory touchto offer the person new options for movement. In FI, the practitioner uses gentle, non-invasive touch to guide the person into new movement patterns, working with the person’s nervous system, guiding them to become aware of how they move and what feels more comfortable or efficient.

🌀 Each Functional Integration session is deeply personalized. The practitioner works one-on-one with the client, adjusting the touch and guidance to the specific needs of that person’s body, nervous system, and learning process. This individual-focused approach makes it different from many other therapies that might follow a more standardized treatment protocol.

🌀An FI session focuses on whole-body movement patterns, Rather than targeting muscles, joints, or specific parts of the body in isolation. It looks at how movement in one area influences the entire system.

🌀Functional Integration fosters a sense of empowerment, where the individual becomes more aware of their body and can continue to improve their own movement, even after the session ends. It encourages self-relianceand lifelong learning. It doesn’t “fix a problem”, it’s about teaching the person to recognize and change their habitual movement patterns

Why is it so important to be able to register internal sensations? 🫀🫁🧠

Because it is the key to emotional regulation 🩵 👁️

The interoception refers to the senses that collect information from our inner world. For example, the sensation of hunger, of being thirsty, of feeling sleepy, the breath, the heartbeat, among others. And the ability to register internal sensations correlates with the capacity to register and understand our emotions, because all emotions correspond to a particular sensation or constellation of sensations in the body.

If you are more adept at accurately detecting your bodily signals, you will be able to form more nuanced interpretations of your feelings about a situation, and this in turn should help you to make wiser choices about the best ways to respond.

If you think about it every single emotion you have is linked to a specific sensation inside your body. When you’re nervous or anxious, some people report feeling a knot or having butterflies in their stomach. Those are interoception signals.

So when we can understand, identify and effectively process these kinds of sensations inside their bodies, we’re better able to access emotional regulation techniques.

👉🏽 And the Feldenkrais Method is all about sensing and getting more and more familiar with your inner world of sensations.

Surprised that receipts are so harmful.

Shopping dockets? You are probably better off not handling them. Microwaving food in plastic? That is also not advised — and it is because of the 'disrupting' chemicals, which experts say are affecting vital systems in the human body.
