Cathryn Jakobson Ramin on Back Pain and the Feldenkrais Method
Investigative reporter Cathryn Jakobson Ramin is the author of “Crooked: Outwitting the Back Pain Industry and Getting on the Road to Recovery.” From her first-hand experience as a back-pain sufferer, and from extensive research, interviews, and site visits, her book brings new public awareness to the prevalence of dangerous and ineffective treatments, devices, and pharmaceuticals offered to desperate people in search of solutions. In the second half of her book, she details her personal experience with outside-the-medical-system solutions, and which ones were effective. She became enthusiastic about the Feldenkrais Method of somatic education and its potential to put people on the “road to recovery.” She continues to practice the Feldenkrais Method, and recommends it widely.
