[RC] Riding & Age - Feldenkrais helps! - Naomi PrestonThere have been so many great suggestions for aging riders, and I'd
like to add one more. Check out a Feldenkrais Practitioner for classes
or individual work in your area. It is amazing work, gentle and
non-stressful. but with huge results. I first became familiar with it
when I had a triple fusion in my neck (C5-6-7) after a riding accident over
ten years ago. I regained range of motion and freedom in my neck that
I never thought I'd have again. It's great for rehabilitation from an
injury, but also just for moving with more freedom and comfort for those
without specific injuries. (like regular aches and pains -- knees,
back, neck, shoulders, etc). I do a bit of Feldenkrais each morning
before an endurance ride (5 -10 min) and it makes an incredible
difference in the way my body feels when I'm in the saddle. Fewer
aches and pains after the ride, too.
Check out this website for a practitioner in your area.
