"'I have been attending Victoria Worsley's weekly Feldenkrais classes for over a year.. I have had a stiff neck and lower back pains for years, massage helped but didn't last. I finally found Vic's once a weeks classes. The difference in my body is profound, it feels as if slowly all the muscles, bones, elements of my body are being put back in the right order! It has helped in my performance work and with looking after the children, I get up in the morning and I don't creak! Unfortunately before Christmas I had to miss a few sessions due to rehearsals and when I was able to return my back felt like a mountain range trying to lie flat but by the end of the class, I was relaxed, my breathing was relaxed and my body felt like it was melting into the ground. Upon standing, I was far more grounded, my legs and back felt stronger and I had a neck! I would recommend these classes to anyone from any walk of life, they cannot fail to relax you and strengthen you all at the same time, yes in me they have achieved the impossible!' "

"It was a very interesting experience for me with an unexpected result - because I really had no idea what to expect. The pain in my back which I came to you (Victoria) with has not returned, which as a fitness instructor is brilliant because it was affecting my work. I think the whole approach is particularly good as it seemed to be about empowering the individual to help themselves ultimately, through sessions with you and what can be learnt at them."
Fran (YMCA Fitness Instructor)
"These sessions are invaluable to the progress I am making with my running - I noticed an improvement straight after the first one. Victoria has helped me to develop an awareness in my walking and running which is definitely helping to diminish my ankle pain."
Carolyn Baker (Crouch End)
"The session was both relaxing and stimulating. I felt very comfortable with Victoria and found her very easy to talk to. I was conscious of the realignment for quite some time afterwards - days if not weeks! My knee was painful immediately afterwards but the pain had disappeared completely by the next day - and apart from a few twinges it hasn't returned."

"Since doing Feldenkrais classes and workshops I have noticed an increased range of movement in my back neck and shoulders and alleviation of lower back pain and neck and shoulder tension. Also a noticeably heightened awareness in general while moving i.e walking, running, sitting, standing. My body feels more free and less heavy – all that from rolling around on the floor making small subtle movements. But also on a general well being level, I have developed a more positive attitude as well as more confidence, energy and focus. I would recommend it to anyone from any walk of life seeking to learn and re-educate themselves into a better, comfortable and more harmonious way of being."
Karen Cartwright (Crouch End)
"After the Feldenkrais class I always have a really good night's sleep and have a lot of energy the next day. I originally came to Feldenkrais because of RSI in my shoulder. Not only does it minimise the pain but it maintains the mobility of my shoulder. It is my weekly respite from a very busy week!
Doe Warnes (Crouch End)
"Having had 2 children in quick succession and particularly carrying a toddler around while heavily pregnant, I had a recurring lower back problem. I saw an osteopath twice while pregnant but the problem never seemed to be solved. Then Vic introduced me to the world of Feldenkrais. The first time was when my back was so bad, I could barely walk and I felt immediate relief. I continued to have hourly sessions over several weeks which had amazing results. My posture completely changed and I learnt a great deal about how to correct it myself. I would thoroughly recommend Vic and Feldenkrais to anybody who is either suffering trauma through injury as well as correcting a long suffering ache or pain.
Charmian Denison (Crouch End)
"As a long term migraine sufferer and jeweller who spends lots of time hunched over a bench, private feldenkrais sessions with Victoria helped my posture and migraines, also reducing the many visits I used to make to the osteopath. After a day at Victoria's feldenkrais workshops I always notice a remarkable improvement in my posture, and I sleep really well that night too.
Michelle Krausz (NE London)
"I went to see Victoria Worsley for 'hands-on' Feldenkrais in the hope that she could treat my ankle. After spraining it on successive occasions, it had become very weak and at the time I commenced sessions with Victoria, it was giving way frequently as well as being very painful. After only four sessions it stopped hurting and even better, it completely stopped giving way. As well as being an excellent Feldenkrais teacher, Victoria is a brilliant 'hands-on' practitioner.
