A thesis is an aptitude test for students. The approval of the thesis is proof that the student has sufficient research and reporting skills to graduate but does not guarantee the quality of the research and the results of the research as such, and the thesis is therefore not necessarily suitable to be used as an academic source to refer to. If you would like to know more about the research discussed in this thesis and any publications based on it, to which you could refer, please contact the supervisor mentioned.
Abstract
The Feldenkrais Method (FM) is a movement practice designed to enhance body awareness and bodily function. While existing research has primarily focused on clinical populations, there is limited evidence regarding its potential benefits for healthy individuals. Therefore, this systematic literature review examined the effects of the FM on body awareness and well-being in the general population. Due to the inclusion of only nine studies (N = 488) with heterogeneous outcome measures, no generalizable conclusions can be drawn. Nonetheless, the methodological challenges identified offer valuable insights and directions for future research.
