About Therapeutic Eurythmy:
Eurythmy therapy began in 1921. It was developed by Rudolf Steiner and Dr. Ita Wegman MD as an autonomous movement therapy based on the movement art of eurythmy. Eurythmy therapy, in distinction to artistic eurythmy, works with movement directed towards the body, the effect of which is comparable to a medicine.
The eurythmy therapist works in a professionally independent way but in close collaboration with the referring doctor, and takes full account of any forms of treatment the patient is receiving, either medication or other, non-medicinal ones. Eurythmy therapy exercises geared to the individual clinical picture lead to balance in the patient’s body, soul and spirit constitution. Eurythmy therapy is used in all medical and therapeutic fields.
