By Hillel Braude, MD, PhD
The Feldenkrais Method is generally described as a form of somatic education or therapeutic practice designed to improve daily function. In this, my second, contribution to the IFF Research Group Newsletter, I continue to develop core conceptual issues on how to go about researching the Feldenkrais Method. I propose here that the Feldenkrais Method® is a kind of practical physiological psychology.
