"I met Tancha about ten years ago, at which time I had shooting pains going
down my right arm all the time. Tancha was able to stop that from happening
pretty quickly, and it has not returned since. She taught me many stretches and
exercises to perform which allowed me to continue working at my profession."
"Over the years, I have tried various treatments - acupuncture, chiropractic,
massage, physical therapy and Tancha for various work-related repetitive strain
injuries. The only treatment I continue today is with Tancha. I have learned
many things about how to move my body in a way that I do not continue to injure
myself. I have also learned a great deal about relaxation from Tancha, and
about the ways that stress impacts our body."
"I would highly recommend Tancha to anyone that has pain, stress, or would
just like to learn more about how our bodies work."
- Lynn
"I have benefited in numerous ways from Feldenkrais private sessions and
from Movement Awareness classes. Eliminating chronic pain greatly effected the
quality of my life."
"I had chronic sciatic pain for several years, seeing a chiropractor
several times a month. After a few private sessions the pain was gone."
"Severe fascia tendonitis took a few months of private sessions, patience
and some work, but was cured."
"Tancha has a gift of sensitivity, analyzing the body movements, knowing
how to work with the body to find a cure for pain."
"When I had some new pain in my knees, we talked about what I might be
doing differently, finding the cause. She enjoys her work of helping people."
- Vel
"After surgery, chemo and radiation, I was left with a badly damaged arm and
shoulder. Tancha's wonderful work with me has brought tremendous reduction of
pain, increased circulation, strength and mobility, and overall body healing.
Thank you!"
- Susan
"Because of the work I do, I used to have constant neck and shoulder pain
along with almost daily headaches. I tried many different ways to rid myself of
this problem. I heard about Tancha and decided to give her and her method a try.
Within just a few sessions my headaches were gone along with my neck and shoulder
pain. Her work is gentle yet powerful and has had a profound affect on my life.
Thank you."
- Nancy
"I have been working with Tancha and the Feldenkrais Method both privately
and in group classes since 1999. Tancha helps me become aware of habitual patterns
that I have developed unconsciously over the years. She gives me suggestions of
simple readjustments I can make that will put less strain on my joints, bones and
muscles and helps me create safety and ease in my everyday movements. Tancha has
worked with me through an automobile accident and many strains and muscle pulls
due to my Yoga practice. Tancha's soft and gentle touch helps my muscles to
release and relax. When my session is complete, whether it be private or in a
class setting, my body is able to move with ease and fluidity. Tancha is a wealth
of knowledge about how the body moves in space. She is able to work with each
individual on the level of his or her understanding. I am grateful for her
continued guidance in my life."
- Maureen
"My upper back and shoulders have new flexibility. It feels great and helps
me avoid stress and tension.
- Debbie
"After four classes I now find myself smiling when I'm asked to sense the
differences between my right and left sides in the middle of a lesson. The images
are drastic, like large blocks jutting from my shoulder and hip on the non-exercised
side and smooth lengths on the exercised side."
- Kim
"The one bright hour in my week is with Tancha McKnight and the Awareness
Through Movement classes. It is relaxing, educational, fun and good for me."
- Clarice
"For years I've suffered from lower back pain due to a myriad of things,
sitting all day, cramps, car accident and weak muscles. I was going to a
gentle chiropractor and yoga. It all helped, but temporarily. Since my two
short years in your class, I rarely suffer. I feel great! Thanks."
- Anne
"Your Feldenkrais movement classes continually change and enhance my life.
Thank you."
- Gigi
"I've been having to readjust my rearview mirror after class. The change
in my posture is causing me to be more upright. I really enjoy coming to class.
It's a treat I give myself. My back pain is less and I feel more comfortable."
- Nancy
"The Amazing Tancha"
- a very short story by David
Once upon a time, in a town called San Leandro, lived a woman named Tancha, who had a very special gift of healing. She had a business as a Feldenkrais practitioner. Now, most people did not know what that meant, and some people even had trouble pronouncing it. One person actually gave up trying to perfect the pronunciation, and simply called her a Frankenstein practitioner.
The people that came to see Tancha usually had pain from some sort of physical problem, and she was very effective and successful. Her success was due to a combination of her high degree of professionalism and her expression through her work of her love for her clients. They almost always felt better after seeing her. Her clients were in virtually all age groups, and had aches and pains that ran the gamut of the human condition. There are even reports that one man who saw her would leave her studio one inch taller that when he entered an hour before.
One by one, her clients would say to themselves, "Tancha is truly amazing." Before long, there was so much positive energy and love projected to Tancha by her clients, that all her clients sensed it and began to refer to her as "The Amazing Tancha."
And that is how Tancha became known as The Amazing Tancha.
