Body SDS is short for the therapy and training system of Body Self Development. Body SDS was founded in Copenhagen in the late 1940's by Erland Hartung (b. 1913), who had a unique approach to the human body. Erland's son, Ole Kåre Føli (b. 1944), and his grandchild, Bengt Valentino Andersen (b. 1965), have since developed the system into what is today known as Body SDS.

He was apprenticed as a toolmaker, although during his apprenticeship he increasingly did stints at therapy. After three years at his work-place, his boss gave him a room and a treatment couch. After 9 years, at the age of 27, he took over his father's treatment clinic. This is where things gained speed. Ole Kåre Føli felt the need to communicate and develop his therapy system, so he gave speeches and organized courses around the country. Alongside his work as a therapist, he was also a successful handball player, with a period in the national handball team. As a child, Ole's son, Bengt Valentino Andersen, suffered a serious spinal fracture and would probably have been disabled today, had it not been for the help of his father. Already as a child (like his father), he took an ...
