"Šimonko is not slowing down this year either and has already had his first intensive therapy with Erez Pilz in Poprad (6 - 15 February 2024). Erez immediately noticed several positive changes since his last therapy, including improvements in head posture, body stability, and hand tone. During the therapy, Erez focused on enhancing posture and head control, as well as working on all limbs, pelvic and spine mobility, and also on sitting and standing positions. He extended the therapy to include breath work, which positively impacts the overall functioning of the organism. Erez provided us with a lot of information and suggestions on how to work with Šimonko at home. At the end of the intensive course, Šimonko held his head much more steadily. When he was really interested in something, he could keep his head upright for a few minutes. During the therapy, he again surprised us in the cognitive area by starting to answer my questions with YES - NO cards. Thank you, and we are looking forward to another therapy session."

"We have been studying with Erez Pilz for several years. Most of our classes are online, but once we were fortunate enough to attend a course in Samara. Erez is a magician; he truly understands the child and selects exercises very intelligently, depending on the child's needs. During the course, after each session, my son developed new skills. I remember the first class where Erez taught my son different ways to get down from the couch, and that same evening, my son was able to get down from an unfamiliar chair and then squat. Recently, after 4 online classes focused on balance, David stood on his knees—it's a miracle! It’s a pity we don’t have the opportunity to study with Erez in person in Germany, but as you can see, online classes are bringing great success! I believe that with Erez's help, we will be able to help my son stand on his feet, and David will be able to walk independently and live a normal life. I am very glad that we know this magician.”

Thank you, Erez, for this wonderful session that ended today! Mara is way more relaxed, and that means a lot to us. Headed home with lots of helpful exercises and a heart full of gratitude - thank you for reminding me to believe in Mara and in her strength and wisdom. We can’t wait to see you again in September!

I did not believe that online classes can be so effective! Our Zakaria generally does not go to anyone on rehabilitation, often cries. And so this format came up to us, because there is a teacher and everything is done by mom's hands. I liked the approach of Erez, his indifference to the child. This is rare! In just three classes, a lot has turned upside down in my head in terms of the rehabilitation of my son and faith in him! Got a lot of homework and already see the result. And Erez is a wonderful psychologist! If you do not believe in your child, then he will make you believe in him. We will definitely continue to work with Erez further. Thank you so much!

My son is 3 years and 4 months old, he has an accident in the form of spastic deplegia. We have tried many techniques during this time. JKA method is exactly what my child needs.
Already after the first two sessions, the position of the head has improved, previously the head was tilted to the right more often.
As a result of the course, the back has significantly strengthened, motor skills and arm support have improved. There are new sounds. But what struck me most is that Stas is trying to lift his head again from the stomach lying position, it was very difficult for him in this position. Now I notice that sometimes from the back position my son turns to the side and tries to get up a little, as if he is willing to sit on his own with elbow support. Previously, my son had not made such attempts.
It is very important to me that a specialist, Erez Pilz, found an approach to my child. The classes were without tears, on the contrary, even a pleasure! The course only lasted 6 days - but we got very good results! We're getting a lot of homework done! We will work hard and wait very much for Erez again in Moscow! Thank you

The Feldenkrais method is one of the most intelligent and holistic approaches to working with humans. It teaches how to use brain flexibility to use the body organically, how to improve movement quality by increasing self-awareness and exploring motor capabilities. And I am very happy and grateful to have completed another course with a wonderful therapist #JKAErez Pilz. That time he taught me how to properly investigate Sabina's movement and utilize that information. He explained how to work so that the child feels safe, relaxed and trust, just like with Erez Pilz during the session. During the course I worked with the most difficult areas of the child's body: with the rotation of the spine and body in different directions, with shoulders, over the movement rotation of the pelvis, while standing on your feet achieved bending movements in your knees while walking. I don't know if I can do the same, repeat such simple manipulations, but I will try very hard! Homework is waiting for us! Now some information about Sabina: at first glance, a child without very significant problems, but after studying her body, her movements, you understand that the body is in tension in some places, and the movements are stiff. There is no correct rotation of the spine, no knee reflexes, partially owns his body, And it seems Sabina is trying to use the whole body, but she is very strained in the movements and in fact only 20% of the body is used. Erez taught us how to organize our body during treatment so that it would work efficiently and without pain, fatigue, tension. I paid attention to the quality of touch, because it is very important to empathize with the patient. I, in turn, adopted new rules on how to work correctly, touch the body, to perform Sabina's movements with pleasure! I worked hard in some places ))) During work I was able to understand how gentle and effortless it is possible to work, but can we call classes - Feldenkraiz? I think no, it's a form of play, relaxation, simple movements, dance, and just Life
Thank you #JKA Erez Pilzsee you again

"I am very happy with Monica's progress. She has become much stronger. Her body was once floppy, and she couldn't do anything by herself, but through the exercises with Mr. Erez and the online lessons, Monica has gained remarkable strength. She can now help with house chores, like washing the dishes and clothes. We are still aiming for more milestones. I am truly grateful for this transformation."

I am overjoyed with the progress Nuluyat has made! She has developed a strong push and is now much more active. She laughs loudly and is more open to her surroundings, which warms my heart every day.
One of the most exciting achievements is that she can now sit for 30 minutes without her head falling in. Her body has also become so much softer and more relaxed.

Hasanchon is 11 years old and still could not put his legs correctly. problems with the feet. Since January we have started doing exercises for the feet with the help of Erez Pilz. ..He showed us video lessons and We tried very hard to complete all the tasks correctly and persistently that Erez Pils gave us, and now After two months, we got an excellent result.
I also want to say that Hasanchon learned to dress himself. He also learned to hold large objects with his hands. ..this is very pleasing. we will continue to study more with Erez Pils; now we want to learn how to stand up

I am thrilled to share the incredible progress Shafic has made! He can now sit for 2 minutes without any support, which is a huge milestone for him. He has also started crawling on his belly and can move from one place to another on his own.
I am amazed to see his legs straightening, and his shoulders and hands have become much softer.
I am truly grateful for the therapy and the support we have received. Seeing Shafic grow stronger each day gives me so much hope.

"Monica was very weak before starting therapy with Mr. Erez. All of her body joints were lagging, and she couldn’t do anything on her own. It was heartbreaking to watch her struggle daily, and we felt helpless. But since beginning the therapy, she has made incredible strides.
Now, Monica has become significantly stronger, and her muscles are growing bigger and more defined. She can lift her legs during exercises by herself, which is a huge step forward. Watching her take these small yet powerful steps has filled our hearts with hope and joy.
One of the most surprising moments for us was when she stood for one minute at home without any support. We couldn’t believe our eyes! It was such an emotional moment for our family, seeing her stand there with a big smile on her face. We celebrated that achievement together, and it felt like a major victory.
Monica has also started helping with easy house chores, like picking up her toys and putting things away. This newfound independence has boosted her confidence tremendously. She’s so proud of herself, and we couldn’t be happier to see her taking initiative in her daily life.
Overall, the progress she has made through Mr. Erez’s therapy has been truly remarkable. We are grateful for the support and care he has provided. It gives us so much hope for Monica’s future, and we’re excited to see what she will accomplish next."

Dear Erez,
We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this incredible course. The way you understand children and find an approach to them is truly admirable. In such a short time, Artyom became much more relaxed, freer, and softer in his movements. His hand support improved, and more sounds appeared - he became more attentive and involved, showing great interest in everything happening around him.
Thank you so much for your kind heart and your faith in our children. We will continue studying at home and look forward to the next course with you!

After only five lessons, we have noticed remarkable improvements in Mischa’s posture. His spine now shows the slight, natural curve in the lower back that he never had before. As a result, he can walk and sit more comfortably.
In the first days after therapy, my son showed a great boost in confidence. He rode his scooter faster and farther than ever before. Remarkably, he also learned a few new skills — for example, throwing a ball high into the air, as if he had discovered a new dimension for himself. He now plays with the ball more skillfully, showing better coordination. Mischa himself is very happy about these new discoveries and small achievements.
Another precious change is how he connects with people. He now seeks out contact more often — not only when he needs help, but simply because he enjoys it — and he stays in that connection longer.
We are deeply grateful for your belief in our child and for the respect you show for his unique needs. These improvements mean so much to us, and we look forward with hope and excitement to continuing this journey and seeing what more he will discover.

In the autumn, we worked with Erez Pilz, and he saw how Dianka was walking with my support. He asked me: “Why doesn’t she have a walker?”
Well, why… Because I didn’t believe that Diana would want to use it or be able to use it. And even when I thought about getting a walker, my mind first looked for problems, not opportunities — where will we store it? where will we go with it? what if it increases her spasticity? And so on, endlessly.
Erez told me: “She can do it. It will give her more freedom and make your life easier.”
And suddenly, we had a walker — two days before the course with Erez at the beginning of May. Of course, not everything worked out the first time. We tried, adjusted the settings, and tried again. I had to invent a temporary handmade leg separator (we’re still waiting for the original). We also found storage space, time, and places where we can walk with the walker.
In January last year, Erez began working with Diana on improving her coordination while sitting — you can see it in the video linked in this Facebook post:
Facebook post linkA little more than a year has passed, and Diana is already walking outside with a walker. Moreover, after such a walk her body is not overstrained, the spasticity in her muscles does not increase — on the contrary, because her whole body is involved in walking, Diana somehow becomes more harmonious, more “whole.” And there are so many positive emotions from what is happening.
Thank you, Erez Pilz, for believing in Diana’s abilities, for breaking the boundaries in my head, and for all the positive emotions we are experiencing now.

We have been working with Erez online for many years, and it is always a revelation when a slow, attentive, tiny movement seems to launch new neural connections.
We’ve added Feldenkrais to the pool, and it’s hard to describe the inspiration of “living together movement,” breathing in water. Erez has an amazing talent — seeing the potential and the state of the child in the moment, even from a distance, and explaining to the mother how to hold, how to move. In doing so, he is constantly in contact with the child.
No matter what mood we are in when entering the class, after a few minutes Sanka smiles, relaxes, and follows Erez’s instructions before I do. It’s fascinating to see how she then uses new experiences, such as writing or trying to hold a spoon.

We noticed changes in our daughter’s behavior from the very first day of classes. What amazed us most is that she has become emotionally calmer — she no longer reacts sharply to loud noises or children’s shouts, her sleep has improved, and she is mostly in a good mood.
Physically, she has become more stable - her right arm and leg have noticeably relaxed, and it’s especially evident how straight she now holds her back.We now have the motivation to continue the sessions and exercises at home in any free time, and for this I am very grateful to you.
This is Milana’s favorite place - and she is moving more and more steadily every day.

Matvey completed a course of six lessons. He became stronger, more confident. He developed emotions. I carried him in my arms to the first lesson, and at the last lesson he walked in with me by the hand on his own. After the course, we went to a speech therapist's lesson and she immediately said that Matvey began to communicate much better, eye-to-eye contact appeared. We are infinitely grateful to Erez for his lessons and are really looking forward to new meetings!
