Rosen Method Bodywork (or Rosen Method) is a type of Complementary and alternative medicine. The approach of this bodywork, described as "psycho-somatic," is intended to help to integrate one's bodily and the emotional/mental experience, purportedly helping to identify unconscious patterns of muscular holding, feeling, and behavior. The main theory underpinning this method is that a person protects themselves from past painful experiences through the body separating one from one's true self. This alleged protection is experienced most frequently as chronic musculoskeletal pain and tension, as well as shortness of breath. Rosen Method Bodywork purports to integrate the body, mind, emotions and spirit; improve embodied self-awareness; and unlock the unconscious.

Reported benefits of the bodywork include enhanced psychological health, enhanced physical health, increased awareness of the mind–body connection, support for personal growth, and self-initiated life changes. Rosen bodywork can also aid in post-injury rehabilitation of full-range motion.

Rosen Method bodywork has developed through its founder Marion Rosen's physical therapy practice and work with Lucy Heyer, a student of Elsa Gindler.

Quackwatch categorised the Rosen Method as an "unnaturalistic method" and says that it features "non-intrusive" touching, verbal interaction, and experiencing breath as the "gateway to awareness".
