Limited Selection of Sources
[edit]The claim 'there is no conclusive evidence for any medical benefits of the therapy. However, researchers do not believe FM poses serious risks.' in the introduction cites nothing but a 2008 book, which is seriously out of date considering recent studies of the method's effectiveness such as "Effects of the Feldenkrais Method as a Physiotherapy Tool: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials" (2022) https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/21/13734 Additionally a large amount of the 'effectiveness' section uses sources not from medicine but from national governments, which are motivated by political and economic pressures to a greater degree than biomedical factors. It would seem appropriate to move those claims to a section focused on governmental/insurance oversight, to clearly separate government policies from medical-scientific results. More recent and firmly scientific studies should be used for this section. The criticism section does not use information in any way, using insult quotes without any level of meaningful critique. A skeptic's claims are useful through evidence and logical arguments, not unsupported comparisons. 2001:569:FDF1:8F00:8C96:6910:9A52:3D54 (talk) 00:21, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
- The lead section summarizes the rest of the article, the rest of the citations may be found in the article's body. Major medical organizations such as the cited health departments of national governments are excellent sources per our medical sourcing guidelines, which can be found at WP:MEDRS. The specific citation you suggest is from MDPI, a well known predatory publisher (see WP:MDPI) and should not be used. MrOllie (talk) 00:33, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Feldenkrais Method → Feldenkrais method – Change "Method" to lower case, per MOS:AT. The rationale here is essentially the same as at the recent consensus at Talk:Alexander technique#Requested move 31 March 2025, which please see. Basically, we should not be deviating from Wikipedia's standard format of sentence case, simply because an alt-med topic has adopted a capitalized name as a way of puffing up their significance. -- Tryptofish (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
