About Jenny
Jenny D’Cruz is a Feldenkrais Practitioner and Physiotherapist.
As a Physiotherapist seeking ways to further assist her clients experiencing pain and movement issues, Jenny was directed by a colleague towards the Feldenkrais Method. She found through her own experience with Feldenkrais lessons that movement quality and posture became easier, more comfortable and graceful. Daily exercise and work also became more enjoyable. Jenny qualified as a Feldenkrais Practitioner in 2017 and is inspired to share this with others.
With over 25 years’ experience as a Physiotherapist working within both private and public health settings Jenny has extensive experience in the fields of arthritis, osteoporosis, balance training and falls prevention, joint replacement prehab and rehabilitation, pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation. She also loves working in the area of Ante-Natal and Post-Natal care, including education and exercise.
Jenny teaches in the Meeting Room, Family Centre St George’s Community Centre, 48a Gibney Street, Dunsborough.
Jenny is also available to visit people at home if this is required. She utilises her years of experience in Physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates and the Feldenkrais Method to assist clients to find more efficient movement, reach their functional goals, or rehabilitate from injury and pain. Please contact her with any questions and to book an appointment.
An individual session available
An individual session is a great idea, either before you commence classes or as an adjunct to your attendance at classes.
This provides you the opportunity to ask more specific questions and explore your movement patterns and habits.
It almost fast-tracks you to gain a clear understanding of how you do what you do. Moshe Feldenkrais said that “when you know what you are doing, you can do what you want.” Several possibilities arise from this.
You learn how you may be contributing to issues you experience as pain, stiffness, or limited movement. You discover what it is you wish to gain or change, and how to go about it. You also find how to utilise this learning in daily life.
Jenny also teaches the Pregnant Pauses® Program. This is a unique program designed specifically for pregnant women to learn how to move more easily and comfortably throughout pregnancy.
When women are ready to re-commence exercise after their baby has been born, they can continue classes with Jenny that include appropriate lessons to enhance pelvic floor, lower back and hip function. This series will complement a safe and healthy return to previous exercise activities that you may have engaged in.
Jenny believes that educating her clients about their condition and how to manage it enables them to live a healthy lifestyle. Empowering her clients with knowledge and self-awareness results in improved self-management and less dependence on others for treatment.
