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
