I just finished an hour session of CranioSacral Therapy.  I came to Dr. Feldman to work on my jaw because of arthritis in my jaw joint;  I have difficulty opening my mouth and I have terrible muscular tension throughout my face. Cheeks and mouth tension adds to terrible discomfort throughout my face everyday.

After today’s session, here are the dramatic changes that I am listing below:

- The shape of my face externally reflects how Dr. Feldman’s work is able to shift the alignment of the jaw, and the alignment of the gums as well.
- My teeth come together differently. The jaw (bottom) has descended; opening up the interior space.
- My teeth are not clenched.
- The inner “chamber” of my mouth feels spacious, like the inside dome of a cathedral. There is space between the upper and lower jaws. They are relaxed.
- I feel gravity acting on my lower jaw and my tongue is relaxed.
- My windpipe has opened, and I feel a spaciousness in the back of my throat and a subtle flow of air.
- There is space within my nostrils and breathing is open up there too.
- There is space between my nose and my mouth.
- My face is relaxed, cheek tension is released and my eyes feel like the sockets are more at ease.
- My whole head feels lifted to the crown; and my breathing is better.
- My head sits lighter and floats off of my neck-free from my shoulders.
- My shoulders are dropped down away from my ears.

I encourage any practitioner within the field of dentistry, especially endodontists and periodontists to please work with Dr. Feldman.

Dr. Feldman has helped me improve my health in an amazing way. He is very knowledgeable, and passionate about improving the health of others. After completing the program I saw a significant increase in how I felt as well as seeing my issues subside.

Dr. Feldman has really helped me to get in touch with my physical body on a different level - on a level I didn’t know existed. I’m just beginning to realize how out of touch with my body I was (even though I was a dancer) and I have made profound progress getting in touch with my emotional self. I came looking for an osteopath, and for osteopathic treatment, so it was unexpected to get this kind of outcome.

Getting in touch with every part of me means I’m becoming more of a whole person, both physically and emotionally. I feel “re-assembled”, which to me it’s kind of a miracle.

I now feel so Present. Yesterday I was driving in the car and the trees looked so green and the sky so blue; everything was so wonderful. When you’re Present, there is nothing to chase. Having a blue sky, green leaves, and just a warm day IS SO ENOUGH. It’s priceless.

In Dr. Feldman I found someone to spend time with and problem solve in a creative innovative way to help me connect the dots to the pain I have been experiencing. I was not looking for just symptom relief, but open to understanding what is going on; rather than accepting/following the narrow viewpoint medical school teaches. Of course I want pain relief; but am willing to look outside the medical establishment’s narrow viewpoint and willing to experience other options in the form of CranioSacral Therapy, the Feldenkrais Method or Nutrition Response Testing. I’m open to considering other options that are non-invasive, more effective than what I have experienced thus far in western medicine and solutions that “do no harm”. Through Dr. Feldman I was able to explore a different path to explain what is going on with me, one that got to the root cause on a deeper level-emotional, mentally, physically and spiritually.

I am presently half way through my Nutrition Response Testing program with Dr. Feldman. I have also completed 6 weeks of Health Coaching. I can honestly say, since starting the program I continue to witness myself having greater capacity to be with life as it is, or everyday stressors as they arise. I’m noticing myself being better able to pause, breathe and "feel" my way through things, instead of trying to think my way through. Overall, I am feeling myself less exhausted and more regulated in my nervous system. I look forward to incorporating Biodynamic Craniosacral therapy soon.

Dr. Feldman is highly attuned, more aware and sensitive to the physical problems that the patient has, but he also works to bring awareness to the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional aspects of your issues as well; in a way that allows you to get in touch with yourself, process trauma and let go, leading you towards improvement and resolution. This is radically different form current medicine. It helps to get to the core issues that way, rather than just treating a symptom superficially.

Dr. Feldman helped me learn about my body and learn how it’s supposed to move. We’re all used to isolating movements, like when we go to the gym or the physical therapist. What we’re not used to doing is integrating our movements together. And not integrating movement is what’s causing most of the pain and aches. Most people don’t understand how to properly move their body and they haven’t for years. And years of improper movements and positioning of the body is what’s causing these aches and pains, which they’re trying to fix in the wrong way. Re-training the body and mind to move properly is what is needed. When you move properly, you don’t over-stress any part of the body and it functions better. All these things are great – yoga, exercise, chiropractic – but what Dr. Feldman is going to teach you is only going to make those things more valuable to you.

It was enlightening to see, not just trying to treat symptoms, but actually fundamentally change the mindset of where the symptoms are coming from. The reason I keep coming back to you is a lot times when you are in the traditional medical system, if it’s out of their wheelhouse, then that’s it…you’re on your own. And I think the thing that is unique about you is that you don’t really give up. If there’s one approach that isn’t working, you’ll try a different approach. For example, we went from CranioSacral and maybe that wasn’t the thing, then we’d do the Nutrition, and other times we used the Feldenkrais Method. I appreciated if this didn’t work; then oh well….it wasn’t like that at all. Whereas in traditional medical visits, it’s always in and out and that’s it. I think that’s the other thing I really appreciate, is that you really spend time trying to make sure that I feel better. It wasn’t just the transactional thing which is also a very frustrating thing whenever I see a regular doctor in the traditional medical system. That was encouraging and refreshing to see.

I started the Nutritional Response Testing with Dr. Feldman 3 months ago and have had life changing results. When I started, I was dealing with chronic pain and stiffness from autoimmune disease and struggled to get thru daily tasks. After changing my diet along with adding supplements, I have lost 10 lbs, am no longer in pain, the stiffness is gone and I am able to "function" normally again. The simplest tasks used to be so challenging and now, I am finally able to catch up on things that I have put off for years. I highly recommend Dr. Feldman.

I'm feeling amazing after my 11th visit on the NRT program!
I can finally focus and accomplish stuff, like read a book. No joint pain. No stiffness.
I haven’t felt this good in years.
