Karen Donelson

With over 25 years of experience in the field of Physical Therapy and 18 years experience practicing and teaching the Feldenkrais Method, I can offer treatment, consultation or training in body mechanics

and self-use in the workplace and for leisure activities. Over the course of my career, I have worked with hospital programs treating back problems and pain issues, a major rehabilitation facility and the Julliard School.

I am committed to quality, personal care. A typical session with me will last 45 minutes to an hour and we will work together the entire time. It is important to me that you leave not only feeling better than when you arrived but also empowered with an understanding of your body that will help you move beyond the issue of injury that you may currently face. My goal is to move beyond the initial healing process and help you explore ways you can begin working with your body during movement rather than against it.


My work is unique because I combine the continuous study of the body's capacity for healing through movement in my own body with what I have learned about helping and healing others. My training includes a current Doctorate studies for Physical Therapy program, certification in the Feldenkrais Method and active participation and education in many areas of movement studies including Yoga, dance, The Alexander technique and Pilates.

"Karen Donelson’s kinesthetic intelligence is in a class by itself. Her years of formal education, physical therapy and the Feldenkrais Method®, give language to a hap tic sense that I can only describe as remarkable. She speaks through her exquisite three-dimensional touch and unique observing eye. I have benefited greatly from our work together. Karen is a scientist and a healer: she stays curious."
Virginia Reed President of the Laban Institute for movement studies champion race-walker

I am an active cyclist and runner and I recently organized a day of movement fundraiser on behalf of Women for Women International (www.womenforwomen.org) My belief that movement is an integral part of healing inspires and provides the foundation for my life.
