Revision as of 23:30, 24 February 2014 by Qazwsxedcplokmijnuhb (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Rosen Method Bodywork (or Rosen Method) is a type of Complementary and alternative medicine. The psycho-somatic approach of this bodywork is intended to help to integrate one's bodily and the emotional/mental experience, help to identify unconscious patters of muscular holding, feeling, and behavior, and improve embodied self-awareness. It is indicated primarily for people with chronic musculoskeletal pain and tension. Rosen bodywork can also aid in post-injury rehabilitation of full-range motion.
Rosen Method bodywork has developed through its founder Marion Rosen's years of physical therapy practice and her work with Lucy Heyer, a student of Elsa Gindler.
Quackwatch categorised the Rosen Method as an "unnaturalistic method" and says that it features "non-intrusive" touching, verbal interaction, and experiencing breath as the "gateway to awareness".
