From WikiMD's Wellnesspedia

Rosen Method Bodywork is a type of bodywork that focuses on the connection between physical tension and emotional experiences. It was developed by Marion Rosen, a physical therapist and health educator.

History[edit | edit source]

Marion Rosen (1914–2012) was a physical therapist and health educator who developed the Rosen Method. She was born in Germany and moved to the United States in the 1930s. Rosen studied physical therapy in Sweden and later worked in a hospital in California. She began developing her method in the 1950s and started teaching it in the 1970s.

Method[edit | edit source]

The Rosen Method involves gentle, direct touch and words to help people become aware of physical tension and emotional experiences that may be related to it. The practitioner uses their hands to detect muscle tension and changes in breathing. They may also use words to help the person become aware of their feelings and experiences.

Effectiveness[edit | edit source]

There is limited scientific evidence on the effectiveness of the Rosen Method. Some studies suggest that it may help reduce stress and improve well-being, but more research is needed.

Training and certification[edit | edit source]

Training in the Rosen Method involves a combination of coursework, supervised practice, and personal therapy. Certification is granted by the Rosen Institute, which is based in the United States.
