In August 2008 the British Medical Journal published the results of a
clinical trial which proved lessons in Alexander Technique have a long term
benefit as an intervention to back pain. Back pain afflicts up to 49% of
the population costing NHS, business and the economy £5 billion a year.
the Alexander Technique can also PREVENT back pain, It is helpful for RSI,
stress, and other postural disorders, all sadly rather common for those working
daily with computers. (To view BMJ short film click here)

that require interventions such as surgery.
