It was devised by a man named Moshe Feldenkrais and more can be found out at www.feldenkrais.com   it can help a lot, but beware the teacher who tries to have more than one lesson a week, as  the brain  needs time to adjust to changes.

Hi Tamar, my name is Lori, I have a 14yr old boy with CP. I am interested in learning more about this therapy. Can you give me more info or direct me to where I can find out more. Thanks,  Lori

One thing that has really helped my hand and finger coordination is
Feldenkrais therapy. I have not talked about it recently because the old
timers here know what I say about it, but Wansa might not know. I have had
Feldenkrais method bodywork since I was 24. And despite what a lot of
people think, it is possible for a person with cp to get better
coordination even if one is an adult. It is a gentle touch therapy and it
has helped my hands and feet enormously. my walking is a lot smoother too,
and the past year my speech has improved by many many leaps and bounds.
