Movement Re-education with Joyce Kegeles 

based on the teachings of engineer/physicist Dr. Feldenkrais

Joyce Kegeles offers a high-end bodywork, an extremely gentle, subtle, yet profound manipulation on a table, fully clothed.

This movement re-education prevents and reverses injury by shifting us out of unnecessary habitual patterns in our motor cortex. Our brain can quickly adopt more efficient movement, automatically replacing immobilities, compensations, pain and stiffness with comfort, assuredness, higher posture and an easy elegance.

Joyce's work has helped people to improve back, joint and foot problems, sciatica, minor brain injury and stroke. She has also helped athletes, musicians, dancers and artists to attain peak performance and creativity.

Appointments with Joyce are available Sunday afternoons.

Joyce Kegeles

In 1991 Joyce graduated a four-year NJ/NY Feldenkrais training, a method of movement re-education and brain plasticity. She then devotedly attended eight further years of training in MA. Through her teaching, she inspired many students to attend the Boston area trainings to become practitioners. Along with her practice, she also hosted/produced a cable TV program, "Your Body Works," offering weekly Feldenkrais classes for the public. 

She was led to this work as a natural extension of her lifelong dance background. She taught modern dance and performed with an improvisational dance theater company, and maintains an abiding passion for African dance, music and culture, inspired by African dance courses while a college dance major. She lived in Senegal through a Worcester Art Museum grant to study traditional West African dance.

After a personal loss, Joyce is grateful for this warm welcome to Mudita.

“Joyce's gentle, knowledgeable teaching has had a very positive and profound effect upon me as a brain injury survivor. Through her skillful touch, my pain significantly reduced and my restricted neck and upper back movement greatly eased.”

Lorraine K. Remby, Feldenkrais practitioner-trainee

“Joyce's positive energy and vitality complement her quiet, meticulous attention to detail in her practice. Through her work, I have achieved a balance that also affects the people I interact with.”
