Talk:Moshé Feldenkrais

message: Good Grief!  Did he actually say, "...I was a great man that did a lot for the world because of that you all should be grateful...God is pleased with the work I do, in some way I'm very much like God." I hope that is either a misquote or is taken out of context.Aiki Patrick Parker 22:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This says he died as an indirect result of injuries he received in a motor accident in Zurich in 1981.  True? --  JackofOz (talk) 00:57, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

message: The article says that Feldenkrais was a physicist but the only degree it mentions is a Doctor of Science in engineering. Did Feldenkrais have a degree in physics?

message: It really looks like, don't it? Some kind of mountebank healer like Apollonios of Thyana. The myth of his exodus from Ukraine with all the little children following him is particularly noteworthy. Would it be possible to just verify all this? If there is some "different story", it'd be worth adding.

replies: text: A rather lengthy biography of Moshe Feldenkrais was published in 2015. It may contain additional information and reference reliable sources to help validate (or invalidate) information about his history. Roywaters (talk) 20:31, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Verify Story? 

message: I see that an edit was made recently to remove criticism of the method he created.  The stated reason was that "this assessment of the method is irrelevant to a biography about the founder of the method."  That edit has since been reversed and a new section was added specifically for criticism of the Feldenkrais Method. I agree with the original edit to remove this information as it is about the method and not the man.  It is already included prominently on the Feldenkrais Method page. As well, it appears inconsistent with how similar information is handled between pages of individuals who created other methods (somatic or otherwise).  For example Frederick Matthias Alexander and the Alexander Technique.
Some may consider me to have a conflict of interest, as I am trained in the Feldenkrais Method.  I don't, however, believe the edit I'm suggesting comes from bias.  I simply agree that it is not relevant on this page.  Before deleting the content and the section, I want to open this for discussion. Roywaters (talk) 20:22, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Information related to the Feldenkrais Method 

message: Per WP:WEIGHT etc am moving this section to the talk page, given that the cited study does not even mention/criticize the person, Moshé Feldenkrais:
Criticism
In 2015 the Australian Government's Department of Health published the results of a review of alternative therapies that sought to determine if any were suitable for being covered by health insurance; the Feldenkrais Method was one of 17 therapies evaluated for which no clear evidence of effectiveness was found. The report notes that there is "a paucity of evidence regarding the effectiveness of Feldenkrais for the improvement of health outcomes for any clinical condition," though it admits possible bias in its choice only to review studies conducted between April 1, 2008 and September 5, 2013 and from its lack of inclusion of non-English language studies.

message: In a recent conversation, it became apparent, that at the time of MF’s birth in Czarist Russia the Julian calender was still in use. Therefore a correction of +13 days to fit Gregorian calender conventions should be applied. Swiltsch (talk) 20:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
