I. What is Vittoz?
The Vittoz (VEE-toes) Method takes its name
from its Swiss founder and creator, Dr. Roger
Vittoz (1863-1925). Dr. Vittoz studied medicine
in Lausanne, Neufchatel and Geneva, and
founded and ran several successful private
clinics.
Dr. Vittoz developed a collection of mental and
manual exercises used to enhance creative and
efficient mental function and increase the
experience of joy in life. Through body memory
and increased awareness of our senses of sight,
hearing, olfaction, taste and touch, Vittoz
exercises have been shown to remap
neurological pathways in the brain, resulting in a
heightened and simplified experience of the
world and ones place in it.
Purpose
Vittoz is both a lifestyle and a therapeutic
method.
Vittoz as a lifestyle
For people who function relatively well, Vittoz
contributes to a pleasurable lifestyle.
• Children are given a sense of themselves,
confidence and pleasure in their natural
place in life, laying the groundwork for a
healthy adulthood.
Vittoz as a therapy
• Trauma victims.
• Veterans and accident victims who have
suffered loss of limbs and/or phantom pain.
• The elderly.
• Children who have difficulty concentrating
where no physiological source is apparent.
• Folks moving through difficult passages,
such as serious or terminal illness, death of
a loved one, divorce, chronic pain,
menopause, mid-life crisis, or sexual
dysfunction where no physiological source is
apparent.
Uniqueness
Conclusion
In today’s hectic world, most people can benefit
from Vittoz. The Vittoz method is both a
teaching tool for a lifestyle and a therapeutic
method. Its exercises offer restorative benefit,
no matter what the depth of the request of the
client.
