... Other scholarly works address the historical and contemporary contexts of midwifery governance; a growing trend toward statutory governance and reimbursement of birth doulas [21]; chiropractic credentialing and scopes of practice [24]; licensed massage therapists' vulnerability to sexual harassment and solicitation within a broader context wherein sex trafficking operations misrepresent themselves as massage therapy businesses [24] ; the potential for naturopathic doctors working as primary care providers to reduce health professional shortages [25]; legal issues surrounding medical doctors' use of T&CM practices; and, 'safe harbor' state laws enabling the limited practice of T&CM therapies by unlicensed practitioners [26]. A few studies furthermore point to a broader context of unlicensed T&CM practitioners offering care across the US [27], whether as herbalists, yoga therapists, mindfulness educators, Ayurvedic practitioners or faith healers ; in the form of bodywork practices that fall outside of massage therapy's legal boundaries [28]; or, with respect to the wide range of traditional/Indigenous therapeutic practitioners who offer care within ethno-specific communities [29]; at times in collaboration with biomedical professionals [30]. ...

... The article by Buchanan and Ulrich (2001) engendered a discussion in the literature concerning the effectiveness and efficacy of the Feldenkrais method (Ives, 2003;Buchanan & Ulrich, 2003;Connors, Galea, Said & Remedios, 2010;Buchanan, 2012). Specifically, Ives (2003) claimed that the evidence at the time of his writing did not justify recommending the Feldenkrais method above other techniques, and further that "any effects noted appear to be psychological and not physiological." ...

... As Alan Stewart (2003) notes, the hope of finding more famous 'great homosexuals in history' continues to incite essentialist histories. However, historians of psychology now have available a wider range of studies of the ways that the lives of bisexual, gay or lesbian human scientists such as Alfred Kinsey (Capshew, Adamson, Buchanan, Murray, & Wake, 2003), Harry Stack Sullivan (Hegarty, 2005), Charlotte Wolff and Magnus Hirschfeld (Brennan & Hegarty, 2009) or Jan Gay and Thomas Painter (Minton, 2003) have been written in different periods of psychology's histories. The conditions under which writing about psychologists' same-sex intimacies could be reconciled with narratives about their intellectual achievements have been, to say the least, unstable. ...

... The Feldenkrais Method (FM) is a technique aiming at increasing personal self-knowledge through conscious movements, developed by the physicist Moshe Feldenkrais [1,2]. This method is based on the discovery and learning of varied, alternative patterns of movement and aims to improve the human ability to learn movement [3,4]. The method has been applied to different educational areas in different countries to improve sports and theatre performance [5]. ...

... The Feldenkrais-method is named after its founder, the Israeli physicist and engineer Moshe Feldenkrais (1904Feldenkrais ( -1984, and is described as a method of motion-related, somatic learning (Buchanan, 2010). This method is widely applied in medical, athletic, pedagogic, and artistic fields (Russell, 2004). ...

... The present study examined and compared the isokinetic peak torque and the reciprocal ratios of the knee joint between young basketball and soccer players. An amount of 100 soccer and 100 basketball players took part in this study and were separated into five equal groups (n = 20), according to their chronological age (12,13,14,15, and 16 years old). The absolute concentric (CON) and eccentric (ECC) peak torque of the knee flexor and extensor muscles (at 60 • /s, 180 • /s) were assessed using a Cybex Norm dynamometer, and the relative peak torque (per unit of body mass), as well as the conventional (CON/CON; ECC/ECC) and functional (CON/ECC; ECC/CON) ratios, were calculated. ...

... It is interesting to recall that the World Health Organization (WHO 2021) describes IPV as not only acts of aggression but also threats, coercion, or deprivation of freedom. The present reflexive review stands with the idea that all those forms of violence can disrupt embodiment at any point of the cycle represented in Fig. 2. Furthermore, the deprivation of the freedom to act, move, connect with others, and try different things decreases sensorimotor input and variability, both important features of motor learning, behavioral adaptation, and, ultimately, of maintenance of the senses of BO and BA (Buchanan and Ulrich 2001;Ferri et al. 2012;Renart and Machens 2014). ...

... As a result, it contributes to the necessary components for optimal athletic performance (Hoffman, 2006;Mangine, et al., 2014). It has been confirmed that female basketball players in the 15-17 age group exhibit lower values of the force produced in the lower extremities of the body compared to their body weight (relative strength) compared to male basketball players (Buchanan and Vardaxis, 2003).In basketball, anaerobic and aerobic energy production metabolism supports physiologically as a hybrid during the competition. Generally, heart rate and distance run are taken into account. ...
