NEWSFLASH!! -
Clinical trial results published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) show that Alexander Technique lessons provide long-term benefit for chronic back pain sufferers.
Of all the approaches tested, 24 Alexander Technique lessons proved to be most beneficial.
The very significant results of this study provides, for the first time,
statistical, scientific evidence from a large-scale, randomized,
controlled research trial of significant long-term benefits from taking
Alexander Technique lessons for people with a common health need.
The research trial was an opportunity to test systematically the
experience of Alexander Technique teachers and their clients that
learning the Alexander Technique can offer significant benefits, in
reduction of pain, and improved functioning and quality of life, for
people with low-back pain.

| Quote of the Week |
Having laboured for years under the illusion that the Alexander Technique was something like Pilates, I was relieved to discover there are no pelvic core exercises, deep breathing or silly bits of rope. In fact, you don't do much at all apart from having bits of your body gently manipulated to loosen up, relax the muscles and help you feel taller. I learned to hold my head bent slightly forward and, bizarrely, seemed to feel my legs get longer.
