Over 40 years of research, articles, publications and conferences serve as the foundation for the exercises developed for Desk-Trainer.com.
Dozens of controlled trials, many articles in peer-reviewed journals, hundreds of research papers, books and articles, thousands of publications of all kinds and millions practicing the method worldwide constitute a significant proof of the efficacy of the Feldenkrais method for rehabilitation, treatment and protection against strains and pains. The Feldenkrais Method is not an alternative for traditional medical treatment, but is a scientifically developed system to complement traditional medicine and contribute to the improvement of physical performance, and enhance the recovery process & quality of life of those who exercise it regularly.
The massive quantity of research linked to the Feldenkrais Method was initiated by a large number of scientists and physicians coming from a variety of disciplines. We have chosen 3 peer-reviewed articles related to the Desk-Trainer methodology as samples of this vast pool of research:
- Hopper, C., Kolt, G.S., McConville, J.C. (1999). The effects of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement on hamstring length, flexibility and perceived exertion. 79 healthy subjects were chosen and their flexibility was measured before and after a Feldenkrais lesson. A significant improvement in sitting and perceived exertion was observed. Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 3(4), 238-247.
- Lundblad, I., Elert, J., & Gerdle, B. (1999). Randomized controlled trial of physiotherapy and Feldenkrais interventions in female workers with neck-shoulder complaints. The 97 participants were randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group (Active) practiced Feldenkrais for a year, the control group continued their work with no practice. The results showed a dramatic improvement in Neck-shoulder complaints among the active group practicing the Feldenkrais method compared with the control group. Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation, 9(3), 179-94.
- Malmgren-Olsson, E., Armelius, B., & Armelius, K. (2001). A comparative outcome study of body awareness therapy, Feldenkrais, and conventional physiotherapy for patients with non-specific musculoskeletal disorders: Changes in psychological symptoms, pain and self-image. Again, the virtues of the Feldenkrais Method have been demonstrated. Physiotherapy-Theory-and-Practice, 17(2), 77-95.
