Core Movement Integration, or CMI, is the result of four decades of work by Dr. Josef DellaGrotte, Feldenkrais® practitioner and trainer. CMI is both a movement and manual therapy approach and incorporates the best techniques and concepts of Feldenkrais and somatic science, neuroscience and tissue and fascia in whole body movement.
CMI is holistic- it integrates the whole body, not just individual body parts. The six pathways release and reorganize the movement patterns of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia that make up our soft tissue. This enables integrated and relaxed movement.
Core Movement Integration not only decreases pain, but it also provides a stable foundation for increased mobility. CMI restores natural movement patterns, enables better posture and balance, and strengthens core and skeletal muscles. CMI improves performance of leisure and athletic activities, as well as functional activities of daily life.

- uses the levering capacity of your skeleton to provide uplift with less effort.
- engages your body, mind and breath, and increases body awareness.
