Back Pain and the Alexander Technique
"Lessons in the Alexander technique offer an individualized approach designed to develop lifelong skills for self-care that help people recognize, understand, and avoid poor habits affecting postural tone and neuromuscular coordination." British Medical Journal 2008;337:a884
Chronic back pain affects millions of Americans and, though treatments have multiplied, relief remains elusive. Americans spend $90 million a year on treating back pain. Back surgery costs $60,000 with very low success rates. Who can afford that? A study published in the British Medical Journal in August 2008 demonstrated significant long-term benefits for patients with chronic back pain. It compared Alexander Technique with classical massage and normal GP care. ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE LESSONS proved most effective; subjects who had Alexander Technique lessons experienced 85% fewer days in pain!
"Get Relief: Back Pain and the Alexander Technique!" Here is a great opportunity to discover the benefits of Alexander Technique or to share them with someone you care about. You will learn about simple techniques to improve poor posture and muscular tension associated with back pain. Learn how the Alexander Technique can help you with your aching back and gain simple tools to relieve compression in your spine, counter gravity, and find yourself "higher" with a sense of expansion, lightness, and energy.
