Older People

Several studies have researched how movement and balance of older people changes after learning the Alexander Technique. One pilot study (Glover et al) also uses focus group discussions to explore older people’s experiences of learning the Technique.

1. Feasibility of group delivery of the Alexander Technique on balance in the community-dwelling elderly: preliminary findings

2. Functional reach improvement in normal older women after Alexander Technique instruction

3. Balance and mobility in older adults with visual impairments

4. Effects of Alexander Technique training experience on gait behaviour in older adults

5. I never thought I could do that…”: Outcomes from an Alexander Technique pilot group for older people with a fear of falling

I started the Alexander Technique because of headaches and lower back pain. Both of these are almost eradicated, but after some months of seeing my Alexander teacher I no longer require my steroid inhaler for asthma either.
