Weird, I just lost my whole message. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I have mild/moderate difficulty turning over at night - a short while ago I learned a bit of the Feldenkreis method of moving and it's made a big difference. Feldenkreis breaks movement down into its smallest parts and then puts it all together again. I sure wasn't using the best way of trying to turn, I'd get so exasperated and worry that I was going to strain something by working so hard at it.

The best thing would be to take lessons but there are movement lessons written down at www.flowingbody.com - go to lesson of the month archive and try #4.

I took an introductory weekend workshop in Feldenkreis a few years ago - we did so little, just lay on the floor and practised moving our heads the right way by rolling them on the floor, then added a little shoulder movement, then the arms, it couldn't have been more minimal effort. But by morning coffee time, I was so starving hungry I wanted to go out and have a steak dinner. Don't know what that was all about!
