International Survey
The report presents the findings of a survey conducted among Feldenkrais practitioners across Europe, promoted by Feldenkrais4Life project during spring and summer 2024.
Takeaways highlight the current state of Feldenkrais practice in Europe, indicating both strengths and areas for improvement within the profession.
The Feldenkrais Method in Europe shows potential but faces challenges in professionalization, business development, and integration into broader healthcare and individual development contexts.
The overall picture confirms that Feldenkrais practitioners are professionals with a high potential to contribute to the common goals pursued by European policies, such as promoting our European Way of Life, policies related to Work-Life balance and various European Healthcare and Well-being policies. On the other hand, Feldenkrais practitioners have a great need to better introduce themselves to the public domain and to increase some of the necessary skills to make them more visible professionals.
These findings suggest an opportunity to improve business skills and increase engagement in professional associations to make them more representative and effective. Last but not least, they suggest improving awareness of and contribution to local, national, and European programmatic actions in order to have an active presence of these professionals within the broader community health and wellness landscape.
