Harper Liew, Differently-abled child
Harper was born with movement difficulties. When Sa Chien first started working with Harper, she was 14 months old. She suffered from spasms and seizures as a baby and often choked. she had difficulties lifting her head.
In addition, Sa Chien also taught her mother how to work with Harper to support her. This in the long-term was effective and Harper gained more awareness of her body as she created new mind-body connections.
Through supporting Harper and her mother over the years, Sa Chien has facilitated Harper's learning abilities and has created possibiities for Harper.
The Feldenkrais approach utilizes neuroplasticity and positive brain change to create mind-body connections, leading to breakthroughs in movement, thinking, self-organisation and self-regulation and connection with the environment.
Tan Fong Eng, Stroke Survivor
Mr Tan had trouble walking after suffering a stroke. Within 5 weeks with Sa Chien at the hospital and at his residences, he was able to take a bus to Ang Mo Kio Hub by himself without assistance.
Starting with what Mr Tan could do, Sa Chien started with gentle movements of his head, shoulders, fingers and toes. By stimulating his fingers, he could begin feeling more and sensing more of himself.
By creating new connections in his brain through mind-body movements, Mr Tan discovered new ways of moving and thinking.
After only a few sessions with Sa Chien at Functional Integration Centre, he was able to experience a new sense of freedom in movement and found himself doing the things he previously wasn't able to do.
