This forum will have two parts.  First, a summary of research done on the Feldenkrais Method, to date, will be presented.  All areas and types of research will be drawn into this discussion.  An emphasis will be placed on practical implications of this research for practitioners and questions that this research raises about the practice of the Feldenkrais Method.  The forum will end with a poster session presenting some new and some old research on Feldenkrais Method, with investigators present to discuss their work.  These posters will also be available for viewing on Tuesday.
