Moshé Feldenkrais

Moshé Pinchas Feldenkrais (May 6, 1904 - July 1, 1984) was an engineer and physicist, known as the founder of the Feldenkrais method. He was born in Slavuta in the Russian Empire, immigrated to the British Mandate for Palestine in 1918, and later earned an engineering degree and a doctorate in physics in France, where he also earned a black belt in judo. A knee injury led him to develop self-rehabilitation and awareness techniques, which he taught full-time from Tel Aviv from 1954. His theory is that thought, feeling, perception and movement are closely interrelated and influence each other.
