The Feldenkrais Method Today 

Both public and scientific recognition of the Feldenkrais Method are growing. It is becoming better known because of its remarkable ability to improve life, helping people to move better, and more gracefully and develop better posture, coordination and breathing.

 

The Method is being mainly applied in the fields of health (rehabilitation, physical and occupational therapy, psychology, child development, gerontology, massage), arts (music, dance, theatre), sports and education.

Today there are more than 6.000 Feldenkrais Practitioner in the world and more than 65 Feldenkrais Training programs taking place in Europe, America and Asia.

 

There are three Feldenkrais Training Accreditation Boards which administer the International Feldenkrais® Training Accreditation Policy and help to guarantee the quality of the training programs: the North American Training Accreditation Board (NATAB), the European Training Accreditation Board (EuroTAB) and the Australian Training & Accreditation Board (ATAB). The coordinating organization of most Feldenkrais Guilds and Associations around the world is the International Feldenkrais Federation (IFF).

 

The growing interest for the Feldenkrais Method can also be noticed by the increasing number of academic researches devoted to it. Besides public approval, academic studies begin to demonstrate in their level the effectiveness of the Method.
