Aneta Podgórni – graduated from the 2nd degree of physiotherapy at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Nowy Targ. I have been practicing sports for many years, but after a shoulder and knee injury, I became interested in the rehabilitation of injured persons. Physiotherapy was an excellent option. In the near future, health problems have arisen, doctors were reluctant to undertake complex hip procedures as well as complications. Repeated studies, classic rehabilitation, pharmacotherapy did not produce the desired effects. With the Feldenkrais method, I was looking for the last possible noninvasive help with my degenerative arthritis. Orthopedists have recommended prosthetic joints, but at the age of 21 I did not want to undertake this complicated procedure, the pain not only associated with the ongoing process of destruction of the femoral head, but also other ailments resulting from the pathological process was unbearable.

The lack of normal functioning in daily life, very strong painkillers and anti- inflammatory drugs and constant pain, led me to seek in the medical environment of the last rescue resort. After one year of Feldenkrais rehabilitation, I was able to enjoy my normal functioning and, most importantly, my life without pain. Fascinated by the method, I decided to attend the workshops conducted by Mrs. Ewa Demidowska to help people whose methods and means did not give any hope for help in their various diseases. I was encouraged to do a research work that allowed me to complete the second stage of physiotherapy. I showed positive aspects of the method and developed a study in which 100% of the respondents reported improved quality of life and reduced pain. 100% of patients opted for further use of the rehabilitation method and recommended it as a method of rehabilitation and self- referral. By doing this, you can improve your life and help many people who are suffering.
