Alexander Lowen was an American psychotherapist who created bioenergetic analysis, a therapeutic method that combines work with the body and mind. His approach is based on the assumption that emotions and life experiences affect body posture and muscle tension. Lowen believed that releasing these tensions can lead to improved mental and physical health. His work had a huge impact on the development of psychotherapy and body therapy.
