ABOUT THE Grinberg METHOD
The Grinberg Method® is a holistic system based on the Four Elements theory (Air, Fire, Water, and Earth). This Four Elements model is developed from the unique structure of the feet and the approach of Avi Grinberg, the founder of this form of bodywork.
The Grinberg Method® is a practical, experience-based approach and defines itself as a teaching method. Avi Grinberg recognised early on that accessing chronic or acute pain conditions or states of discomfort through the body led to outstanding results.
Driven by his curiosity and desire to learn more, Avi Grinberg studied and practiced numerous body-centered approaches, traveled to many cultures, and learned from many (ancient) traditions. From this exploration, the Grinberg Method® eventually emerged, a distinct approach to chronic physical conditions and the behavioral patterns that accompany them.
THE Origin
Interestingly, the structure and approach of the Four Elements were already known and appreciated in ancient Greek natural philosophy (e.g., Empedocles, ca. 494–434 BC).
The characteristics of the four elements found in nature (Air, Fire, Water, and Earth) form a central pillar of the Grinberg Method®, both in its view of the human being and in its unique way of working with clients. From this synthesis of acquired knowledge and personal experience, Avi Grinberg has been developing this distinct methodology, the Grinberg Method®, continuously since the mid-1980s.
As a compact, contemporary, and holistic system, it has now been taught, practiced, adapted, and developed internationally for over 30 years. During this time, the experiences Avi Grinberg had with clients have been confirmed countless times by his students.
In Austria, the first training courses were held in 1991, and since then, countless practitioners have been trained worldwide.
The Amsterdam Academy for Body Learning will be the first to offer the Grinberg Method training in the Netherlands.
