Influence of Dalcroze Eurhythmics on Pains in Older Women

"Training sessions took place twice a week for 45 minutes each over a period of 12 weeks. Each training included rhythmic exercises using the Jaques-Dalcroze Eurhythmics (JDE) method with piano accompaniment and electronically played music. Training sessions were conducted by a JDE specialist.~Exercises with the use of this method consist mainly in the repetition of preset musical sequences using body movements. In addition to the physical layer, the cognitive layer was equally important: while performing a given movement exercise, participants often had to focus in order to react appropriately to additional tasks, such as changes in sound pitch and rhythm of the piece."
