Abstract:

Summary The author welcomes comment on this initial attempt to set an agenda on applying manual therapeutic principles to Physical Education. New skills, tools, and insights (as well as revived ancient techniques) have developed within this field that have wide educational application. Furthermore, these tools are particularly adapted to the needs of the coming century. Opportunities abound for applying these insights educationally to more general populations than have been reached so far by individual practitioners doing one-on-one work in middle-to-upper class venues. As ‘Kinesthetic Dystonia’ comes to be recognized as a societal misapplication of education, a synthesis of diverse bodywork and movement approaches will be applied to combat it. All the work we have done to date is valuable empirical research; may we make the most of this opportunity for its wider application.
