What was studied

All randomised trials testing Feldenkrais in physiotherapy.

What was found

Improvements mainly in balance in older adults (Timed Up and Go test) and in pain and daily function in chronic low back pain, where results were similar to back school and core stability training.

How certain is this?

The authors themselves urge caution, as there are only a few, often small trials per group and a high risk of bias.
