The correct answer is: Schiowitz

The individual known as the founder of FPR, or Functional Positional Release, is Schiowitz. Functional Positional Release is a method within the field of osteopathic medicine that emphasizes the importance of maintaining the functional balance of the body through its various positions. This technique is used to treat somatic dysfunctions by engaging a position of comfort for the patient, which helps to facilitate a decrease in tissue tension and improve overall mobility. This method is grounded in the principles of osteopathic philosophy, focusing on the interrelationship between the body's structure and function. As the founder, Schiowitz contributed significantly to the development and understanding of these techniques, making it a well-regarded approach within osteopathic practice. Other individuals listed, while they may have played roles in various related fields or techniques, are not recognized specifically for founding FPR.
