Eutony (eutonic therapy, Eutony therapy, Eutony training, Eutony treatment, Gerda Alexander method): Holistic form of body-centered psychotherapy created by Gerda Alexander. The prefix eu means good; tony means muscle tone. Eutony somewhat resembles the Alexander Technique.

Eutony theory posits blocked energy and a collective unconscious. Eutonists categorize patients (called pupils) as hypertonic, normotonic, and hypotonic.

EUTONY

Derived from eu, meaning good, and tonus meaning tone or tension, eutony was developed by Gerda Alexander of Germany (1908–1984) during her work in Denmark. It is based on the theory that there is a constant interaction between muscular tone and psychic activity.

Acting upon muscle tone can affect the whole being and regulate the breathing, circulation, etc. The client learns how to adjust his own tonus through the observation of his sensations in various situations. He will explore the body’s perceptions - from the skin to the bones - in movement, in relaxation, during activity, and at rest. Professional training is an individual process lasting four years, the last year being devoted to practicum and exams.
