The Alexander Way…learning is a joyous adventure…

The Alexander Technique experience at Indian Hill Music School

Joanne tells it like it should be, in my opinion, at all music schools – in fact – in all schools worldwide. Have you tried the Alexander Technique yet yourself?

A very well done video where students tell their experiences and impressions of lessons they have had.

The British Medical Journal study shows 85% reduction in back pain through lessons in the Alexander Technique.  Dr Paul Little led the investigation in a major back pain study with results released in the late summer of 2008.

The study determined that back pain can be reduced by the Alexander Technique’s practical method of self-care taught in individualized lessons.

Exciting Results:
579 patients were involved in this multi-center clinical trial, which is one of the few major studies to show significant long-term benefits for patients with chronic non-specific low-back pain. BMJ, 2008

One year after the trial started and following 24 Alexander Technique lessons the number of days in pain fell by 85% compared with the control group. The average number of activities limited by back pain had fallen by 42%.??In real numbers:
*   After 6 lessons = 3 days in pain per month
*   After 24 lessons plus exercise = 11 days of pain per month
