I came to the Alexander technique seeking relief from numerous injuries accumulated over the years. As a kid I was very active in sports and developed severe pain in my neck, shoulders and back along with stiffness in my knees and legs. As an adult I had three cases of whiplash from car accidents. Later, while working at a startup company here in Silicon Valley, I developed tendonitis and severe repetitive strain injury (RSI). I had quite an experience with the California workers compensation system that led to a final diagnosis of partially disabled.
I tried many different kinds of therapy, and many had at least some benefit but did not provide a lasting solution. I finally found the Alexander technique. After two lessons I knew I found my path to relief. My neck, back, shoulders and arms are pain-free for the first time that I can remember. The crunchiness in my knees has
disappeared. I no longer have to stretch for an hour in the morning in order to feel comfortable. For me the Alexander technique has been a lasting solution. (more).

Quotes from the British Medical Journal study: "One to one lessons in the Alexander technique from registered teachers have long term benefits for patients with chronic back pain." "No adverse events were reported for exercise or Alexander technique lessons." "...six lessons in the Alexander technique retained effectiveness at one year." "...shows that the long term benefit of Alexander technique lessons is unlikely to result from non-specific placebo effects of attention and touch." |
