"Severe rheumatoid arthritis had me walking (and occasionally groaning) like Frankenstein’s monster before I began working with Elaine Yoder several years ago. Approved by both my rheumatologist and my GP, Elaine’s Feldenkrais treatments have helped loosen my aching joints and improve my overall quality of life. A case in point: After straining to squeeze my large and aching frame into my truck to drive to a recent session, I slid into the cab one hour later with the ease and comfort of a foot slipping into a familiar old shoe."
