Objective: The aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of rhythmic movement therapy (RMT) for increasing subjective well-being (SWB) in a healthy, non-clinical population. Methods: A total of 273 subjects seeking psychological counselling (coaching) were willing to participate in the study and assessed with the appropriate questionnaires. Two groups were formed: 1 (very low, low and medium SWB levels; n=156) and 2 (high and very high SWB levels; n=117). Subjects of Group 1 were randomly assigned to 10 RMT groups (n=105) and 5 waiting-list control groups (n=51). Results: The results demonstrated significant improvement in SWB level and several other personal variables in subjects of the RMT group compared with unimproved subjects of the control groups, except for personal standards and neuroticism. Conclusion: Substantial changes in SWB and psychological state were observed as a result of RMT intervention.
