Created by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais the method was developed over a lifetime, and continues to evolve with each lesson given.  Dr. Feldenkrais was an active man participating heavily in local Soccer and Judo clubs. After suffering a knee injury in soccer Feldenkrais chose not to go through with a risky surgery.  He instead began to rehabilitate the knee by concentrating on his movement patterns looking to find a way to organize around his limitation.  He began training people in his method in the 1950s and continued until his death in 1984.
