Lower back pain that keeps coming back?
There may be a reason it keeps returning, and a gentler way to finally address it. Personal 1-on-1 sessions in Amsterdam for adults who want lasting relief.
Sound familiar?
Mornings feel planned around pain
You wake up stiff. Getting out of bed takes planning. You avoid bending down because you know what happens next.
The relief does not always last
Maybe you've tried painkillers, stretching, even a course of physiotherapy. It helped for a while. Then the pain came back.
The pattern matters
Most treatments focus on the painful area without asking why the pain keeps happening in the first place.
Your back pain is often caused by how you move
After decades of sitting, walking, and moving in the same patterns, your body develops habits. Ways of holding tension you may not even be aware of.
These unconscious habits put strain on the same spots, day after day. Real, lasting relief comes from changing the patterns that overload them.
A different approach: teaching your body to move with ease
Feldenkrais, in plain language
Feldenkrais (pronounced FELL-den-kryce) is a gentle form of movement learning developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais.
Awareness before effort
A practitioner helps you become aware of the movement habits that create strain, then gently guides you toward easier ways to move.
A movement-first path
A 2025 clinical trial published in BMC Geriatrics found that Feldenkrais improved chronic lower back pain in older women through gentle movement.
What to expect in a session
Gentle and comfortable
No cracking, no force. Movements are slow and guided. You stay well within your comfort zone.
Fully clothed
You lie on a comfortable low table in your normal clothes. Sessions are 60 minutes, one-on-one.
You learn, you keep
You leave with new awareness of how you move, along with practical habits you can use at home every day.
Hi, I'm Koby
I'm a certified Feldenkrais Practitioner, trained at Instituto Feldenkrais in Barcelona. My work is based on Dr. Feldenkrais' original Amherst Functional Integration lessons.
Personally, this method completely removed my own shoulder and lower back pain. That experience is what drives me.
I now live in Amsterdam with my wife and three wonderful kids, and I work with people one-on-one from my practice here in the city.
What my clients say
I first came to Koby's Feldenkrais practice five months after surgery on my lower back. Weekly sessions with Koby helped to turn this around. Our sessions consist of gentle, intuitive movement combined with breathing and awareness. I find what Koby does to be safer than most yoga classes and more effective than conventional physiotherapy. Highly recommended.
I came to Koby as I had problems with my neck. With Koby I learned how to sit properly, how to exercise daily and how to be more conscious to my body. It made a great difference. Strongly recommend.
"But physiotherapy is covered by my insurance..."
That is a fair question
Physiotherapy is excellent at treating injuries, strengthening weak muscles, and supporting recovery after surgery.
Many clients do both
Many of my clients come after a course of physio. Physio addressed their symptoms, but the pain kept returning.
Feldenkrais works with habits
We look at the unconscious habits in how you sit, stand, and move that may be causing the strain.
Simple pricing
One session is €50. Most people feel a meaningful difference within 2 to 4 sessions.
