Welcome to the Franklin Method Fellowship! This is a video podcast hosted by physical therapists Solange Ross and Debora Chasse. In this podcast we share our passion for the Franklin Method and how we use it in daily life, all forms of exercise, and integrate it into our physical therapy practices. You will find movement practices to help you connect to your body to improve the way you move and feel. The Franklin Method is a therapeutic approach which uses imagery in daily movement and exercise. In the Franklin Method we use imagery to improve the ability to be present in our body, release tension, and become more efficient in our movement. This helps improve balance, flexibility, strength, coordination, posture, and alignment. Our experience shows that many people notice a shift in their mood and a reduction in pain. All of the exercises are functional and look at everyday movements such as walking, bending, breathing, reaching, carrying, and posture to name a few. The exercises are appropriate for all fitness levels. If you are just beginning an exercise program, make sure to consult with your doctor. The practices in this podcast are not intended to be medical advice.
