Alexander Technique For Back Pain

Recommended Posts

I mentioned the Alexander Technique in a reply to a post on back pain a few weeks back. I had always believed the technique had merit and just ran across this study done by the British Medical Journal.

BMJ Alexander technique study

The article contains a lot of cost analysis but what might interest forum members is the imbedded video link in which many patients and practitioners speak on the practice.

As stated by a teacher in Brooklyn "The Alexander Technique is a method for regaining and maintaining natural poise. It is a preventative method that has curative value. In simplicity, it works by engaging the cognitive mind, consciously in inhibition and direction. While there maybe great emphasis placed on body function, an individual is gaining insight to how they interact and react with their environment. As a curative method, the Alexander Technique is often taught in tandem with therapies such as physical therapy. To gain insight to the technique, lessons are recommended."
