Kaz Shibao Feldenkrais Instructor

Kaz Shibao is an excellent practitioner… he is dedicated, brilliant m intuitive and patient. he wants to help relieve pain so very much. he will try a number of lessons and exercises with you, continue to tweak them until you have a master plan,.he assesses your body and movement each time. asking all the right questions. heightening your own sense of awareness. he is highly experienced. having been in the field for over 25 years. combining training, skill, intuition and expertise to arrive at the best there is! My pain level following several back surgeries has decreased tremendously as long as I follow the program. he teaches body relaxation in combination with silencing of the mind., you would be well advised to give the Feldenkreis method a try of other modalities are ineffective., the institute of Health and Healing is a fabulous place. very dedicated to the entire patient… and general well-​being.,.

I am a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher so I already know how to work with my body but the help that Kaz has given me in understanding the imbalances in my body that are causing pain and dysfunction has been invaluable. My yoga practice has improved as a result of the work that we have done. He is at the top of the list of people that I recommend to my students/​clients who are having physical pain and need bodywork in addition to yoga therapy. Note that while you will feel relief in one session that the effects are cumulative and you will progressively improve the more sessions you do!

Kaz is one of the best practitioners I know, and I’ve experienced more than most people due to multiple joint issues. He’s been a practitioner of Feldenkraiss for more than 25 years, and also went through an intensive 4-​year training in Orthopedic Massage. The combination is brilliant. Feldenkraiss works with how the body should move — and provides techniques to help get you aligned — and the ortho massage helps the body get unstuck when it isn’t moving. Kaz is a master in both realms, as well as being a heck of a nice person.
I’m disappointed one reviewer had a bad experience with the office staff; I’ve never experienced anything like that in the many years I’ve been seeing Kaz, nor have any of the friends I’ve referred to him. Not to say it didn’t happen, it’s just too bad that the person didn’t have an opportunity to experience the amazing healing work Kaz does. He’s a local treasure.

Kaz is amazing. I’m not generally a believer in too many of the glowing reviews I hear about people, but Kaz deserves the rave reviews I’ve heard and read.
He is a kindly and gentle person, with a tremendous amount of knowledge about the human body and its workings. He finds and fixes things you don’t even realize are part of the problem, and it makes everything work better. Like a great car mechanic … but for your body.
I’m definitely a fan. Highly recommended.

Kaz Shibao was part of the «dream team» assembled by Dr. Irene Minkowsky. He has very reasonable rates and his Feldenkrais techniques were extremely helpful in getting me to move better and to take a lot of strain off of my lower back. I had been suffering from sciatic pain down my let for 3 years and his techniques played a huge part in solving the problem. I am grateful.
