Feelness FAQ
Feelness is a philosophy and system of movement that prioritizes the body's natural intelligence and comfort over performance or appearance. It challenges the idea that bodies need "fixing" and focuses on reclaiming natural, everyday movements. It is about restoring ease and living in a way that feels good, rather than pushing through strenuous exercise. Feelness aims to reconnect individuals with their bodies and restore their natural movement and comfort, which is considered a birthright. It is an alternative for those who don't enjoy or prefer not to engage in traditional fitness workouts.
- Restoration: Reversing the effects of modern lifestyles that have limited natural movement. This involves reminding the body how to move as it was designed to.
- Maintenance: Sustaining the benefits of restored movement through natural integration into daily life.
- Natural Movement: Emphasizing the movements humans were designed for, such as squatting, bending, stretching, and twisting, rather than structured workouts.
- Ease and Comfort: The primary goals of Feelness, focusing on moving without stiffness, pain, or hesitation.
- Task-Based Restoration: Helping the body regain ease in the movements that matter most in daily life.
- Movement Prescriptions: Specific, targeted, and simple movements designed to restore lost mobility.
- Neuroplasticity: Feelness engages the brain through varied movements, promoting the brain's ability to form and reorganize neural connections.
- Feelness Levels: A system to track progress, with Level 0 representing "Perfect Feelness" where all everyday tasks are performed effortlessly.
Feelness differs from fitness, which is often performance-driven and focused on aesthetics, strength goals, or endurance milestones. Fitness emphasizes strenuous exercise, while Feelness focuses on restoration and maintenance of ease. Feelness integrates natural movement into daily routines, while fitness often involves structured workouts. Feelness is about feeling good, not proving something, and motivation comes from the pleasure of moving without stiffness.
Feelness focuses on restoring ease in nine everyday physical tasks:
- getting out of bed
- walking
- reaching for items on high shelves
- bending over
- sitting in a chair
- getting out of a chair
- getting down to the ground
- getting back up from the ground
- and twisting to look over your shoulder.
When you can do these 9 tasks with the same ease experienced in your use all other tasks become easy as well because the restoration and maintenance of these nine tasks improve the body's function from head to toe.
The goal of Feelness is to help individuals reclaim movement, comfort, and confidence in their bodies, allowing them to live fully without limitations. It aims to create a lifelong practice of natural movement, rather than a temporary fix..
The focus of the Feelness program's movement prescriptions is restoring lost mobility and establishing a good relationship between the parts of the body responsible for specific daily tasks.
The prescriptions are:
- Targeted: Addressing specific areas or movements that are causing trouble.
- Simple: Not strenuous or overly complicated.
- Effective: Designed to restore what's missing with the least amount of work necessary.
They are guided by the moment a daily movement triggers discomfort or stiffness, and aim to remind the body how to move the way it was designed to, rather than "fixing" something that's "broken."
