Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief
Like You Have Never Experienced Before!
Neck and shoulder pain can rapidly be diminished and full range of
motion can be regained by reintroducing the child-like learning process
of movement. Through the Anat Baniel Method, a revolutionary, highly
effective approach to neck and shoulder pain relief, your brain will
discover the least painful ways for you to move. The transformational
movement neck and shoulder exercises will give your brain the information
it needs to make the necessary changes so that you move your arms and
shoulders in harmony with the rest of your body - pain free. (For more

Language of Movement -- Tools and Solutions)
Daniel was a first-chair violin player in one of the world's great
orchestras. When he came to see Ms. Baniel, he was unable to play for
nine months because of severe neck, shoulder and wrist pain. None of
the traditional therapies helped. He was terrified that his career
as a musician was over. Like most people, he had no idea what he was
doing and how the ways he was moving were causing him to injure himself.
Ms Baniel observed that various parts of Daniel's body - his lower
back, his upper spine, and the powerful muscles in his pelvis, were
not moving at all when Daniel was using his neck, shoulders, arms and
hands to play.
Ms. Baniel began by guiding Daniel through very gentle movements
in those dormant areas that were new to him and felt easy and safe
to do. These movements were waking up his brain to new possibilities.
Daniel quickly learned to move in better ways that gave him complete
relief from neck, shoulder and wrist pain.
Two months after Daniel began following the Anat Baniel Method program,
Daniel was back to playing. Daniel said: “Anat
is the Yasha Heifetz of the Feldenkrais Method. Her method not only
gave me back my career, but for the first time in my life I like and
enjoy my body”

How Does the Anat Baniel Method Work
for Neck and Shoulder Pain Relief?
This cutting edge approach is based in the understanding of how the
brain forms patterns of posture and movement – good and bad ones.
It looks at all aspects of the person: body, mind, emotion and spirit
and its relationship to pain. The Anat Baniel Method addresses an “invisible” element
that is of the utmost importance in our ability to recover from neck
and shoulder pain and prevent future pain: the QUALITY with which we
move.
This Method is based on the breakthrough discovery that poorly organized
movement and limiting beliefs are the most common causes of pain. Since
it is the brain that organizes movement, these new techniques for shoulder
and neck exercises - the Transformational Movement Lessons - are designed
to provide your brain with the information and experiences it needs
in order to form new, pain-free patterns and solutions. With this new
information from your body, mind, and emotions, your neck and shoulder
pain will stop - often in only a few sessions! You will regain full
range of motion in your neck, you will be able to lift your arms up
easily, and you will have much more strength in your arms.
This natural pain relief solution can help you manage neck and shoulder
pain and chronic pain with fewer drugs or no drugs at all. You will
discover ease and freedom in
your movement you haven’t felt since you were a child. You will
be able to do things you were never able to do before. You will create
a more positive relationship with your body. You will become stronger
and have more energy. And most importantly – you will do all
this free of pain.

Natural Shoulder and Neck Pain Relief -
Transformational Movement
Lessons
Neck and shoulder pain treatment through the Transformational Movement
Lessons is very different from regular shoulder and neck exercises. (Click to read article: Exercise and Pain: The Purpose of Pain). Rather than
engaging in repetitive movements that are often done forcefully and
even mindlessly, with the Transformational Movement Lessons you will
be asked to move gently and slowly and pay attention to what you feel.
You will be paying attention to your whole body, not just the painful
areas. You will quickly become aware of what you are doing and will
discover ways to move that are easier and give you relief from neck
and shoulder limitation and pain. You will be amazed at how much better
you will feel - fast.
In each movement lesson you will be guided by Anat through a sequence
of movements. You will be encouraged to move slowly and gently. In
each lesson you will learn new movement skills or improve on existing
skills that are necessary for you to have healthy neck and shoulders – free
of pain and chronic pain. Each lesson is different from all others.
This variation insures that your brain continues to get a rich flow
of new information that it needs. The lessons are grouped into complete
programs that you can do safely in the comfort of your home. Each lesson
is between 30-45 minutes in length.
You will learn how to turn your head fully and easily using your
whole spine and your pelvis. You will be able to lift your head to
look up like a young child. Bending to look down will become easy.
You’ll have flexibility and strength in your arms and shoulders.
You’ll move your arms up, in front, and behind yourself like
when you were a child. You will become more flexible and stronger
without forcing. You will stand taller. You will breathe better and
walking will become easier.
These gentle, safe, and mindful movement lessons not only can diminish
your existing back pain, but you will also learn how to prevent future
pain and chronic pain. Over time, by continuing to do these lessons,
you will be able to participate more successfully in fitness, exercise,
dance, or sport programs of your choice - pain-free. Click

Large Numbers of People Experience
Neck and Shoulder pain during their
life.
Many people, even school children, suffer neck pain during their life.
Many others will experience shoulder injury. Almost everyone becomes
limited in their ability to turn their head and lift their arms up
with the progression of years. This takes a huge toll on the quality
of our lives, even if we don’t know it.
Most neck and shoulder pain is caused by poor posture and poor movement
habits formed by faulty learning, usually beginning in childhood.
When the movement in our back, neck and shoulders is disorganized,
some of the forces generated by our muscles create friction that, over
time, destroys body tissue and leads to injury and pain. At times neck
and shoulder pain is the result of accidents or illness. Unfortunately
when we try to protect ourselves from the pain, we create new poor
habits that cause us even more pain and chronic pain. No matter the
cause of the pain, the speed at which pain can be resolved goes right
back to movement habits learned in childhood and adulthood, and to
our ability to learn new patterns of movement, of thinking, and of
feeling.
