Liselotte Brüne
Liselotte Brüne (born January 28, 1916 in Montevideo , Uruguay , † September 11, 2016 in Munich ) was a German physiotherapist . Its significance for physiotherapy lies in the further development of Johannes Ludwig Schmitt's breathing massage into an independent treatment method, "reflective breathing therapy" (RAT).
life and work
After training as a physiotherapist from 1936 to 1938 at the State Institute for Physiotherapy and Massage in Dresden under the direction of Arno Arnold , she practiced internal medicine and surgery in Dresden from 1938 to 1945. In 1949 Brüne came to the naturopathic clinic of Johannes Ludwig Schmitt in Munich as a patient, where she gained experience with breathing massage and yoga . From 1960 until Schmitt's death in 1964, Brüne worked as a freelancer in his clinic in Munich. Brüne further developed Schmitt's breathing massage under his direction and supplemented the manual techniques with special breathing exercises. This is how her holistic therapeutic approach came about. After working for a year at the University of Munich , Brüne founded her own practice in Munich in 1963 as a resident physiotherapist.
From 1965 she was a founding member of the “Working Group on Respiratory Therapy” in the German Association for Physiotherapy (ZVK). She built up a course program to convey reflective breathing therapy and training of teaching therapists and trained therapists in Germany herself until 1997. In 1977 her book Reflective Respiratory Therapy was published . In 2000 the association "Reflective Breathing Therapy" was founded. The association has set itself the goal of spreading and continuing Brune's treatment method. Liselotte Brüne was honorary chairwoman of the association.
Liselotte Brüne founded her therapeutic approach almost at the same time as Ilse Middendorf, the method of "experienceable breath". Both belong to a generation of therapists in the West, who also incorporated Far Eastern exercise paths into the development of their therapy directions. "Reflective breathing therapy" is mainly used for health problems with the airways.
Honor
In 2003 Liselotte Brüne was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for the development, maintenance and further development of the treatment method reflective breathing therapy .
