The FBL was developed between 1955 and 1975 by Susanne Klein-Vogelbach (* 1909 / † 1996). This was among other reasons in 1979 from the University of Basel the title Dr. med. honoris causa awarded.

The FBL teaches to look at the movement system and the movement behavior of humans from the outside, to recognize abnormalities, to assess and to interpret them . The concept allows precise observation based on defined observation criteria that can be applied to all joints of the body , to static positions and to kinematic chains.

The observation methods used in FBL provide, for example, data on the harmony of a movement , the coordination, the rhythm and the extent of movement . They include the ability to intuitively grasp spatial and temporal qualities of movement and belong to the basic qualifications of physiotherapists and hippotherapists .
