\u00a0One of my clients said to me the other day, &#8220;Feldenkrais is like the Quantum Physics of body work.&#8221; \u00a0I thought that was pretty cool to hear as we were wrapping up our Functional Integration lesson. \u00a0On my way home I was chuckling to myself about it. \u00a0Then just a few days ago I cracked open a book I bought some years back about how we bring our hands to folks in a lesson and there it was&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/mindbodyscienceworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sdc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-311\" alt=\"sdc\" src=\"http:\/\/mindbodyscienceworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/sdc.jpg\" width=\"255\" height=\"202\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is the strength duration curve I have been teaching Physical Therapy students about probably for the last 10 years or more. \u00a0I used it in the context of how different nerve fibers are stimulated in response to electrical pulses. \u00a0The vertical axis is the strength of the electrical pulse and the horizontal axis represents the duration of the pulse. \u00a0The function of the nerve is represented by the curve. \u00a0The nerves could be sensory, motor, sharp pain, or dull pain. \u00a0Interestingly the labeling was different in the book by Yochanan Rywerant about The Feldenkrais Method. \u00a0His graph was to represent Energy Exchange and Learning. \u00a0He labeled the vertical axis as &#8220;energy exchanged&#8221; and the horizontal axis as &#8220;information transmitted.&#8221; \u00a0The area indicated by the blue rectangle in Rywerant&#8217;s book is the upper limit of what can be conveyed in a Feldenkrais Lesson. \u00a0He called it a &#8220;quantum of manipulation.&#8221; \u00a0I taught my students that the area in the blue rectangle was the most efficient delivery of an electrical pulse that would stimulate the fiber you are interested in approaching. \u00a0Rywerant pointed out the analogy to Heisenberg&#8217;s Principle of Uncertainty in atomic physics concerning the position of particles and momentum. \u00a0So there you have it!!<\/p>\n<p>But, a touche, not to be taken out by the physics of the matter or those who may not choose to view the world that way! \u00a0This work just works!! \u00a0It&#8217;s just the right amount of what you need to feel better, be better, do better. \u00a0And that my friends makes the world a better place for everyone!! \u00a0Who needs a graph for that?Cheers!! \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Sandy<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soooooooo, that&#8217;s a funny title isn&#8217;t it??
