Subjects met twice a week for a one hour group ATM lesson, and were instructed to follow through daily with practice tapes: After two months, subjects were placed on a one month home program. Pre-test and post-test data, which included a modified Fibromyalgia Impact Assessment (FIA) questionnaire, a pain scale, photographical postural analysis, and observational video analysis of walking, were collected and analyzed on five fibromyalgia patients. A paired t-Test on the modified FIA and other descriptive analyses showed moderate improvement in the subjects. It was concluded that the Feldenkrais Method has potential value as a possible adjunct to the physical therapy treatment of selected fibromyalgia patients. %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/APPENDIX%20A.pdf %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/APPENDIX%20B.pdf %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/Appendix%20C_0.jpg %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/APPENDIX%20D.pdf %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/Appendix%20E-image_0.jpg %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/APPENDIX%20E.pdf %> http://iffresearchjournal.org/de/system/files/APPENDIX%20F.pdf
