Freedom for stiff shoulders, neck and upper back

- A fantastic little lesson to loosen up a tight T-Spine, to bring movement into the upper chest, to get to know the shoulder blades, to find good feelings in the neck, to release tension, to learn more about shoulder movements and how the scapula (the shoulder blade) can slide over the chest. No stretching ! Not a workout.

Maestro! This one lesson is doing more for me in one try than all the thousands of exercises and massages, etc. I have experienced in the last 50 years of searching for help for my upper and mid back issues. I am astounded and grateful. Words fail to express my appreciation . Your guest is lovely. Thank you Alfons.
+Penthesilea :-) thank you for sharing your experience, much love!
So powerful, so many possibilities to loosen more and more!! THANK YOU DEAR ONE! and yes what a privilege to get to meet you in direct and work on one to one! Great for this Beautiful lady to follow her heart!💙
Omg first time I felt relief in my middle back for over 10 years THANK YOU!
Great to hear! Try my series “Tight neck? Here’s help” next 😄
I love this one, thank you. Immediately I felt so much space in my lower back as well as my shoulder blades. It was fun to see you interact with a guest! More of these! Merci.
This is fantastic! I have arthritis in a few vertebrae, right between my shoulder blades. This has given me more relief and range of motion than I have had in years!! Thank you SO much, I am so happy to have discovered you! :)
Thank you for your feedback + welcome on board, I'm happy for your good experience ! :-)
Incredible how much good this did in a short time. It was strange the movements in the Sphinx position made my arm muscles burn especially the tops of the forearms.
Thank you so much!!! This lesson helped my neck and shoulder tension!!! I suffer with so much pain. You should produce a dvd so everyone can buy it. I am so happy I found your videos. 😊 I just ordered your e-book.
The guest Jeanette mentions how the lessons relax her and not in the usual way of just mental relaxation, but also somatic/body relaxation. This is important. I've been practicing massage for many years. Just getting a few of these lessons from a workshop given in my area and these YT ones with you, which show the difference in my own body, I can see that there are things massage simply cannot do because the person themselves have to be the one to do it from inside their own nervous system to allow a complete integration of everything that happens to create the movement. Perhaps I should be doing Feldenkrais with them instead....at the very least, Feldenkrais shows the tension that builds in my own body from releasing tension in client's bodies is becoming an unsustainable imbalance which I need to address and ultimately shift. My hands are swollen, my wrists are swollen, I get migraines, my vision is affected - all this from upper body tension, which I can understand by doing these exercises far better than from doing yoga or Yamuna Bodyrolling. What a gift - thank you.
Jean, great observations, thank you for your feedback! I like to add that, from my point of view, massage and Feldenkrais are completely different disciplines. Each one can do what the other can not, they are not interchangeable. In February I will travel to Vienna (660 km away, on the other side of Austria) just to get a massage from my favorite massage therapist (I try to do that twice a year). I might add though, that I do Feldenkrais regularly, and I like to receive hands-on lessons (Functional Integration) at least once or twice a month. Please continue watching/learning/participating in my videos :-)
Thank you Alfonz. this YT lesson showed a different side to you, your professional side. I was amazed at the transformation of your delightful guest. Her face eyes and demeanour were quite different after the lesson.
Brilliant 😃has helped me immensely with my stuck left shoulder👍Thank you😃
This was very much like what the guest said in her feedback. Very freeing for the upper body. I sometimes have tension in the shoulders and neck, and these movements seemed to bring a lot of blood flow to the area, and a release of that tension. When lying on the back, after the first set of movements, my shoulders seemed to meld with the floor much more than usual....like there was no space between any part of the shoulder blade and the floor. The movements also really helped with a headache. Thank you so much.
Not only did these movements release my tight upper back and shoulder muscles, it created deeper breath when I didn’t realize I was breathing with tight lungs. Thank you!
As well as giving me a fairly good feeling in my upper back, this freed up my hips and my breathing. Especially my breathing.
This lesson spread my wings!
So good! 😄
what a shift in the shoulders!! Thank you dear One!! love it!!💙 THANKS A TON!
What a good movement series this has freed up my shoulders and upper back
Thank you Annette for making this personal to you and me🥰
I am very grateful for this lesson! It did relieve a lot of tension in my shoulders.
Innovative, simple yet highly effective. Thank you.
Beautiful lesson! Thank you for sharing. I feel a lot of relief and comfort. 😊
This is revolutionary.
Wow! This was great! I worked through your ‘Getting Better Day by Day’ videos. Then I did this video, the following day a muscle knot near my scapula, which had been there for years, released! These videos have been so helpful for me, thank you so much Alfons!
Thank you!, to both of you.✌️
This lesson is wonderful and helped me a lot! Thank you for this!!
I will just join pretty much all the previous statments - this helps! I have developed mild right thoracic scoliosis while breastfeeding and holding my baby probably in not the most effective way. In a very short time with Alfons's lessons I started to feel my body better again, release tension prety much all over my body and being able to localise the most problematic spots and work to fix them. Thank you Alfons! It's amazing that you share this knowledge here and basically for free. I am sharing your channel with my friends and wish for many more people to discover you ❤️
Привет из Сибири!. Радуюсь каждому вашему уроку, хотя воспринимаю его только глазами.Спасибо за ваш труд.
I just love Feldenkrais approach, and your videos are very good to help me. Thank you very much!
Great to feel my shoulder blades!
One of my favorites! Wow!!
Thank you sooo much!!,! I just finished it second time and feel big difference in my shoulder tension. It is slowly going away,,
Good to hear, Olga ! Thank you for your feedback... and keep on studying, experimenting, feeling better. My best wishes to you, greetings from Austria to Canada :-)
Wow!!! Tonight, I looked for a video that focused more on the middle of my back just below the shoulder blades as that is where my back tensions chronically begin and found this one. Amazing! The improvement in my range and ease of motion was so astonishing that I started laughing. Your videos are a treasure trove, Alfons! Six months ago, when I started with your videos my shoulder blades were terra incognita: not anymore! :-)
Yay!! 😁✌️🥳🎈 I’m happy to hear that
I really enjoyed watching and doing the movements with a guest.
Loved watching you teach and this class, so simple and effective .Somatics has such a powerful way to access freedom, thank you! Dar
I love your videos Alphonse. Thanks so much. One day I will turn up in Vienna, all the way from New Zealand. Yes!
+Rupert Watson thank you Rupert! Ha yes, that's a long way to travel! But maybe there is a chance to meet somewhere some day :-) At the moment I'm based at the Switzerland border to Austria, which is another 660km from Vienna
Never mind. Still coming. Where are you exactly? Do they do good einspanner? Actually, I was in Vienna for IFF some time ago, when my good friend David Kaetz made his first presentation. Wonderful visit.
Rupert Watson I'm in a town called Bregenz, at the Switzerland border. We have the "Bregenzer Festspiele" in Juli and August, a stage of opera on the lake, look it up :-) Coffee is ok here, people focus on the local beers and traditional food. Vienna has it's on flair, good to hear you liked it !
Wonderful lesson! Enjoyed hearing her talk about her experience❤️
My lower back feels more connected with the floor in the rest positions of this. Great class - thank you very much!
I enjoyed working with you and someone else. It was easier to follow along and see the changes in someone else than you. Please use this dynamic in other videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you!
WONDERFUL!
This is what I need right now
Fantastic lesson Alfons!
This one helped very much.
Great quick class and amazing results. Thankyou. I have melted shoulders...yum!
Thank you Alfons! This is amazing...ahh the relief!
Very effective. So much tension has gone
Hi Alfons.
Its really most fantastic lesson. I watched almost your lesson and follow each lesson, but this lesson I saw most easy understand and follow, I think, becoz, you got model and guide her much better than you do yourself. you need to do, need to talk , explain... I dont know, you got volunteer ?
If possible, you keep walking like this, its very very professional. you got million subscriber latter
once again.
Thank you ...
Hi Ly, thank you for your feedback. I was thinking about doing more with another person. Of course it would be best (for fame and many viewers) to work with beautiful women. But it's difficult to set up. I was lucky for this video. 😊
Brilliant , thank you Mr.A !
Great stuff, thanks
I loved this movement and your very sweet guest. I felt good doing it..but have pain in my right shoulder into neck area (the reason I wanted to do this in the first place). I will continue to do this movement. It was relaxing on the left side..sounds weird. Trying to figure what to do with this right side neck shoulder tension. Thank you both.
Gave me a feeling of space in the shoulders.
wow this really works!! thank you
you're very welcome ! thanks for watching and participating :-)
Good one
Fun and challenging. My shoulder blades are calmed and can lie flat on the floor after the exercises.
Hi Alfons
My shoulders and neck feel so good!Tension is gone on my shoulders im relaxed .
Wonderful
Beyond the relief, will this help you learn how to do normal movements with less tensions? That id my goal
I would say transferring what we learn in these lessons into real life ...makes sense ... we call this process “integration” ... in one-on-one sessions it’s part of the session, in group classes (like in most of my videos) it’s part of the (self) learning of the student to find how to transfer and integrate into her daily life
@@ImprovingAbility just hoping it takes time
if I'm a "TENSE" personality, so I tense my upper traps for emotions, bad posture, is this execise good for me, if it's reenforcing those "tense" movements in the body?? I"ve tried it and in the moment, it gives me release, but then the next day I feel like my upper traps got a "work out" and I don't know if I want to overwork my upper traps if they are the ones who get me into trouble?? I'd like to learn how to deactivate them. does this make sense? Not an insult, just wondering if these kinds of movements are recommended for tense people?
Thank's Sir!
I've subscribed to your channel
For me it completes Qi gong & Tai chi
Very cool that I can be in bed' enjoy the lesson
Is it good for frozen shoulder?
Hallo Alfons, hast du vielleicht ein Video über Tinnitus? Ich bekam ihn Ende Oktober, Schulter, Nacken, Brust sind auch noch immer verspannt, trotz Übungen. Danke
Oje. Ne, keine Ahnung, sorry. Manche HNO-Ärzte sagen das komme von Verspannung. Stimmt vielleicht, vielleicht auch nicht. Vielleicht hats was mit Elektrosmog zu tun, Schlafverhalten, Zähneknirschen und Kieferverspannung, Ernährung, Hormonstörung, Vitaminmangel, zu wenig Sonnenlicht, zu viel Licht in der Nacht, Unter- oder Überfunktion der Schilddrüse... keiner weiß es. Ich auch nicht 😕
Feldenkrais with Alfons
Ich weiß, dass es vom Stress kommt, die Ohren sind in Ordnung. Ich weiß, dass Feldenkrais sehr gut ist um Verspannungen zu lösen. Dankeschön und liebe Grüße aus Wien
Mag deine Videos :-)
Do these exercises increase shoulder Range of Motion ..!?
+Joseph Quintero, hi Joseph. You could try, but actually there are more suitable FELDENKRAIS® lessons for that purpose. IMHO sorry to say but it's not a very good question to begin with. I know from a PT or strength training perspective they do talk like this, but it's neither empathic nor empowering. Maybe, instead, start by exploring the possibilities available to you. I have 2 "neck and shoulder" lessons here on TH-cam for free. And after that, maybe (if that's still interesting by then) start to explore what was lost. And ... was it?
Your demonstration is good, Sir but it is very slow.
Yes, very slow, but faster than surgery. And less trouble.
