Body therapies

Due to the perception that the anthroposophical quality is declining in some institutions and being sought and cultivated with great intensity and seriousness in some institutions, it makes sense to make the quality characteristics and practical applications visible and to exchange ideas about them. This also includes body therapies.

The Medical Section also has an active field of practice in this area: Anthroposophic Body Therapies

At the section’s fall 2024 conference, there was a forum on the topic and the people in this group are taking the initiative further and can work together with other interested colleagues.

The following methods can be counted among the anthroposophical body therapies:

  • Chirophonetics
  • Bothmer gymnastics
  • Spacial Dynamics
  • Eurythmy therapy
  • Pressel massage
  • Rhythmic embrocation and massage (therapy and care)
  • Wraps and pads (therapy and care)

Initiative group:

Carsten Calleson (Eurythmy Therapy, USA), Jane Johansen (Bothmer Gymnastics, CH), Christiane Maiwald (Chirophonetics, CH), Ovidiu Recean (HU)
