Methods
What is movement, dance and body therapy?
Movement, dance and body therapy is a body-oriented and creative therapeutic approach. It uses the body, movement and the artistic medium of dance to promote the overall health of the human being. During the treatment a special focus is placed on relationship, perception and awareness work as well as symbolism.
The combination of knowledge of anatomy and physiology, movement development, movement and body work, body expression and dance as well as of developmental and humanistic psychology has led to an independent therapy method from the 1940s onwards.
The interventions in movement, dance and body therapy always refer to the current living environment as well as the life story. Body, movement and dance are regarded as basic means of expression for the human being as well as a mirror of the physical, mental and spiritual condition. They serve as means for healing
and integration processes with the aim of restoring the balance of body and psyche.
Movement, dance and body therapy work on three levels:
- Physical area: to support body awareness, self-acceptance through the body and to balance tension.
- The area of mind and soul: to improve emotional balance, to increase presence, to reduce stress, to access one's own resources and to deal with them carefully.
- Social area: to promote social integration and responsibility, empathy, cooperation and communication skills, self-confident and authentic behaviour.
Since 2011, a distinction has been made in Switzerland between art therapy and complementary therapy. The Organisations of the World of Work (OdA = Organisation der Arbeitswelt) have developed federal professional examinations for both forms which have been confirmed as recognized methods by the Swiss Confederation.
