British Medical Journal publishes research on back pain and the Alexander Technique
Good news, my friends!
The British Medical Journal just published results from the first, large-scale trial of the Alexander Technique. This is a large-scale, randomized, controlled study of back pain and the Alexander Technique.
The British Medical Journal published the study results on 8/19/08. Results are very favorable! You can find it at the BMJ website or here is a direct link to the study.
Also, here are links to articles that already came out since the study was released. Wow, the press is quick on the draw!
BBC News: Back pain eased by good posture
Telegraph News: Alexander posture technique 'most effective at reducing back pain'
The Guardian: Health: Alexander technique 'does ease back pain'
The Daily Mail: An old cure for a modern malaise: Alexander Technique can beat chronic back pain
It is wonderful to share this news and just in time for International Alexander Awareness Week, October 4 - 12, 2008. Stay tuned.... :-)
