Changing The World, One Body At A Time: Interview With Marion Rosen, With Valerie Luoto
-
Abstract
Marion Rosen was one of the first to discover the relationship between our emotional lives and the condition of our bodies. She developed a system of bodywork so effective that clients release old emotional pain, their relationships improve, and their work life becomes better. As she explains, "By relaxing the muscles, what comes up is some of these [painful] experiences. Instead of holding them down and trying to forget about them, you can handle them." The results are more far reaching than even Ms. Rosen initially expected. She's discovered that real physical and emotional release changes the way people live, and even makes a difference in the lives of their family members and all the people they touch day-to-day

Grounded Theory of Rosen Method Bodywork
-
Abstract
Complementary approaches to health and wellness are widely used and research is needed to provide evidence of their utility. Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) is a complementary approach with a small, but growing body of evidence. The purpose of this research study was to explore the processes of Rosen Method Bodywork to develop a theoretical framework about what occurs over the course of receiving sessions RMB, both within the recipient and between the recipient and the practitioner. In this grounded theory study, data from interviews of twenty participants was analyzed and a theoretical model of the overall process of RMB was constructed. The model consists of the five integrative phases through which these participants moved within the iterative RMB process from Feeling Stuck and Disconnected to Feeling Connected. Mindfulness is observed to be a central component of the RMB process which participants describe as helpful for trauma recovery. Implications of these findings for mental health care providers, including advanced practice mental health nurses, for Rosen Method Bodywork practitioners, and for future research are discussed.

A Preliminary Inquiry on Rosen Method and Mindfulness: What We Notice
-
Abstract
This article is an initial exploration of the perceptions of a group of Rosen Method bodywork practitioners and movement teachers about the relationship between mindfulness and Rosen Method. The authors are three members of the editorial board of the Rosen Method International Journal who embarked on this investigation with the intention of exploring how Rosen Method practitioners and movement teachers view mindfulness and Rosen Method, and how mindfulness-centered training and practice may serve as a resource for Rosen professionals. This inquiry used semi-structured telephone interviews with 13 Rosen Method professionals in the United States. The interviews were conducted to identify if and how, in the opinion of these Rosen professionals, mindfulness practices provide a resource for personal and professional development in the practice of Rosen Method bodywork and movement.
Through our introductory, informal exploration we found that mindfulness-based trainings and practices have served as valuable resources for personal and professional development for these practitioners and movement teachers. Additional questions of interest also emerged. Given the extensive research on mindfulness applications in several health professions and the availability of training programs in mindfulness for professional development, the authors hope to further explore this topic in the future, using interviews and focus group discussions with a wider range of practitioners from around the globe in order to provide additional insights. We hope this article will stimulate dialogue in the international R M I J. . . Volume 7, Issue 1, Spring 2014

A Pilot Study of Rosen Practitioners’ Experiences Receiving a Modified Form of Rosen Method Bodywork in a Garden Setting
-
Abstract
This study investigates a modified form of Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) in which sessions last only 30 minutes, clothing is worn and a blanket is used during sessions, there is an opening question for the clients and at the end, an invitation to stroll around in a garden setting at a rehabilitation hospital. Seven RMB practitioners volunteered to receive this modified form of bodywork and compare it with an ordinary RMB session. The practitioners completed questionnaires before and after each of the sessions they received; the modified session and the typical session. A main question of this study was to ask whether this modified session could contact a client’s holding (muscle tension), barriers to feeling, and memories, the core of what occurs in a typical RMB session. During the modified session, all practitioners reported that they were able to make contact with their holdings and barriers and none of the participants mentioned anything about the clothing or blanket creating an impediment during the session. Instead, one practitioner reflected that this approach seemed “less demanding.”

Influence of a “Warm Touch” Support Enhancement Intervention Among Married Couples on Ambulatory Blood Pressure, Oxytocin, Alpha Amylase, and Cortisol
-
Abstract
Objective: To investigate whether a support intervention (warm touch enhancement) influences physiological stress systems that are linked to important health outcomes. Growing evidence points to a protective effect of social and emotional support on both morbidity and mortality.
Methods: In this study, 34 healthy married couples (n = 68), aged 20 to 39 years (mean = 25.2 years), were randomly assigned to a “behavior monitoring” control group or participated in a 4-week intervention study in which clinic levels of plasma oxytocin, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure, and salivary cortisol and alpha amylase were obtained pre and post intervention, at the same time salivary oxytocin was taken at home during weeks 1 and 4.
Results: Salivary oxytocin was enhanced both early and late in the intervention group and alpha amylase was reduced at post treatment in intervention group husbands and wives relative to controls. Husbands in the intervention group had significantly lower post treatment 24-hour systolic blood pressure than the control group.
Conclusion: Increasing warm touch among couples has a beneficial influence on multiple stress-sensitive systems.

Better or Worse: a Study of Day-to-Day Changes over Five Months of Rosen Method Bodywork Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain
-
Abstract
Background: Fluctuations of good days and bad days—in physical symptoms and emotional states—are common for individuals with chronic illness. This pilot study examines these fluctuations during bodywork treatment.
Purpose: We analyzed changes in daily selfreports over a period of five months for five individuals who received weekly treatments of Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB), which uses touch and words to enhance body awareness of physical sensations and emotional states.
Subjects and Design: Five subjects (aged 31–56) who had chronic low back pain (CLBP) received 16 weekly treatments given by three experienced RMB practitioners.
Measures: Pre- and posttreatment assessments covered demographics, disability, and pain. Clients also completed daily bedtime assessments of pain, fatigue, emotional state, and sense of control during the entire treatment period.
Results: All clients reported reductions in pain and/or disability in post- compared to pretreatment. In spite of a high level of day-to-day variability in the daily assessments, there were significant reductions in pain and fatigue, and significant increases in positive emotional state and sense of control across the treatment period. In reaching this end, however, some clients had slow and steady improvements, some improved more rapidly, while others got worse before they got better.
Conclusions: The natural course of healing— with its inevitable fluctuations in symptoms—is part of a process leading to successful treatment outcomes. Rosen Method Bodywork may be especially helpful in developing and accepting both sensory and emotional body awareness changes that facilitate overall improvement.

Reducing Extreme Pain
-
Abstract
This is a case report on the author’s Rosen Method Bodywork client, Mille. The report documents Mille’s
Author: Teresa de Silva
medical history of chronic pain due to Crohn’s disease, family losses, and physical assaults, and an inability of
conventional medicine to provide relief. Detailed descriptions of her bodywork sessions describe the course
of her Rosen treatments. The client also kept daily records of the amount of her pain medications and her selfreported
feelings of pain. The results show that there was a statistically significant reduction of the pain and
medication exactly at the time in her treatment when the client experienced a breakthrough of self-awareness
in which she could feel in her body the links between chronic tension, pain, and her history of relationships
with significant others.

Relational Somatic Presence – Meeting Trauma in Rosen Method Bodywork
-
Abstract
This article will offer insight into the ways clients perceive Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) in their
Author: Shantika Bernard
process of healing from trauma. Data about their experiences with RMB has been collected via interviews in
a qualitative research study that intended to explore several questions: How do clients who survived trauma
experience RMB? Do they perceive it as a modality that supports the release of symptoms, the regulation
of posttraumatic stress, and the reconstitution of healthy psychological functioning in their individual
lives, and if so, why? In pursuing this inquiry, my research focused on the subjective experiences trauma
clients have with RMB, thus discerning the elements that may most impact trauma healing, and how clients
experience those aspects in their life.
The following article is my attempt to describe RMB and Trauma Therapy with the intention to allow
insight into the client perspective. It may help us understand how and why RMB can become such a unique
way to restore our clients’ health on all levels of contact—with themselves, with other people and with
life itself. For many weeks I found myself in the process of attempting a “scientifically grounded, academic
article,” reading and re-reading research on trauma, but when I realized my struggle and the fact that ‘it’ just
did not ‘flow’ out of me and onto paper, I recognized that I had to let go of my intellectual attempts and sink
into the flow of everything I learned about Rosen Method over the past nine years, and trust the process of
what would emerge. My intention, therefore, was to write in a way that does not require much scientific or
academic knowledge.

Caring as an essential component in Rosen Method Bodywork – Clients’ experiences of interpersonal interaction from a nursing theoretical perspective
-
Abstract
Introduction: Users of complementary (CAM) therapies frequently report satisfaction although scientific support for the efficacy of many therapies is lacking. This study investigates a relatively unexplored CAM therapy; Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) from a new perspective. The treatment includes gentle physical touching of tense muscles as well as - the interpersonal interaction. The aim was to explore if caring is a part of the interpersonal interaction in RMB treatments by analyzing clients' experiences from a nursing theoretical framework. Methods: The study design is exploratory and qualitative. Data were collected by semi-structured interviews with eleven RMB clients with positive and negative experiences from the treatments. The interviews were content analyzed using the theoretical stages in a nursing theory to build the structure for categorizing the data. Results: Treatments where study participants declared satisfaction included supportive caring aspects. In these cases, trusted interpersonal relations and a secure environment were established, where the participants felt accepted regardless of their problems. The interpersonal interaction seems to contribute to participants' increased awareness of their own capacities and motivation to independently develop new ways to manage health-related problems. In contrast, participants who were dissatisfied with RMB described opposite experiences. This seems to result in termination of the therapy or a change of therapist. Conclusions: The results indicate that caring is an essential contextual component in RMB treatments. In future research, not only for RMB, but for similar CAM therapies, more attention should be paid to caring as an important part of the interpersonal interaction and the therapeutic experience. This article belongs to the Special Issue: 'IG000020'.

Rosen Method Bodywork: An Exploratory Study of an Uncharted Complementary Therapy
-
Abstract
This exploratory study examines the Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB), a complementary (CAM) therapy method that previously lacked scientific documentation. The objectives of this study were to describe (1) why clients consult RMB and (2) what kind of help or benefit (if any) the clients perceive. The study comprised a survey of 53 Swedish RMB clients sampled from therapists, based on a criterion of personal experience of the therapy method, responding to a questionnaire collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. The quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and the qualitative data were analyzed by applying content analysis.

Caring Needs of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Abstract
A study was conducted to identify, through the application of Waston's theory of caring to patients with rheumatoid arthritis, if evaluating the psychosocial needs, as well as relieving the symptoms and improving function, improved the quality of life for patients with a non-curable chronic disease. Nyman thinks these curative factors are very much like the caring that is offered during Rosen Method sessions.

Implications of Presence in Manual Theory

Abstract
This paper describes and advocates the practice of presence as a tool of
Authors: Jack Blackburn, MTS, LMT, Cynthia Price, PhD, LMT
healing and transformation in the manual therapies. The authors discuss the
advantages and effects of presence in the therapist, methods and reasons for
promoting presence in the client, and the relational aspects of presence within the
client–therapist relationship. Specific exercises and therapy vignettes are provided
to supply the reader with examples of the role of presence in clinical work.
It is the authors’ opinion that the concept of presence may become a common
denominator for understanding the effectiveness of somatic approaches in bodycentered
therapies. Presence, when properly understood and applied, should have
new and profound influence on all therapeutic modalities. There would seem to be
no reason that the practice of presence would be excluded from any therapy session
except for lack of training, understanding, and experience on the part of the
practitioner. The practitioner’s sensitive accompaniment is fundamental to the
client’s journey towards body-centered self-awareness. The client’s progress
towards body-centered self-awareness has many stages of growth, and is comparable
to a spiritual pilgrimage—there are places of reflection, resistance, reaffirmation,
and insight. The somatic therapist has the role of supporting this journey through the facilitation of presence.

Rosen Method Bodywork: Accessing the Unconscious through Touch
-
Abstract
In this long-awaited description of the body-centered therapy developed by Marion Rosen, the reader begins to understand how emotional and physical ailments can be addressed through the gentle touch of the Rosen practitioner. Rosen explains how the practitioner identifies tensions in the body that point to the source of a problem and how that awareness guides the healing process. With the help of psychotherapist Susan Brenner, the director of Rosen Center East and one of Marion's first students, she describes the origins of her method; how people reveal their emotions in body postures; barriers they set up to love, self-expression, and intimacy, and how Rosen work enables a client to move beyond these barriers. Treatments for asthma, migraine headaches, heart problems, weak immune systems, and psychosomatic illnesses are chronicled. Essays by doctors, psychologists, and Rosen practitioners describe how this method of touch, words, and acceptance guides their work, and complete this remarkable tribute to a visionary woman.

The Rosen Method of Movement
-
Abstract
While working as a physical therapist in Oakland in the fifties, Marion Rosen was asked by several clients how they could prevent aches and pains and avoid physical therapy treatments. This question inspired Rosen to begin teaching movement classes in 1956. The Rosen Method of Movement describes these preventative exercises in detail. Marion Rosen continued in the next four decades to become, alongside Moshe Feldenkrais, Milton Trager, Ida Rolf, and Alfred Lowen, one of the makor progenitors of a system of bodywork, which connects breathing, emotional responses and body functioning.

Relaxation Awareness Resilience, Rosen Method Bodywork Science and Practice
-
Abstract
This book provides a practical, science-based explanation of how responsive touch and words activate the type of compassionate self-awareness known to promote nervous system healing from physical/emotional distress.
Rosen Method Bodywork (RMB) does specific things which allow us to improve the quality of our lives, and help us experience our deepest human essence. This book analyzes what these specific things are, breaking Rosen Method Bodywork down into its components of touch, talk, response to shifts in breathing patterns, and compassionate attunement. Current neuropsychophysiological research is used to confirm how these components lead to healing and change. Although this reductionistic rendering can not capture the essence of the art of practicing RMB, these chapters provide a conceptual framework for your own therapeutic practice and presentations.
This book establishes Rosen Method Bodywork as a unique clinical discipline, and communicates its value to health-related professionals and individuals seeking physical and psychological healing.

She suffered from stress, pain in her intestines (it looked like a form of irritable bowel syndrom, IBS), and couldn't take a pause in life. Often, due to the stress she was not able to function normally. Besides the mental and physical benefits of receiving Rosen Method bodywork she changed from a shy person to a woman taking her place in the world. In her work as a photographer she now automatically takes the best position to take a picture. Previously she would first look to see if she was bothering someone. In the article she is very up-front and open about her personal process. She is aware that her self-esteem has increased. Language: Dutch

With the author's experience as a bodyworker, with the support of science, she gives compelling reasons to learn from the "bodymind." I wrote "Get your mind, body back together" after getting so excited to find the science behind what we experience every day as somewhat mysterious. In our current culture, it's helpful to have a physiological explantion for what some of my clients think of as woo-woo: the notion that their body has something intelligent to tell them.
