A pilot study has investigated the effects of Alexander lessons for people who have knee osteoarthritis:
Reductions in co-contraction following neuromuscular re-education in people with knee osteoarthritis
It is a challenge to try to summarize the experience [of the Alexander Technique], as I find it (and it finds me) being the constant change, not there to be grasped. The most measureable is the sharpening of all the senses. My violinist ears react to the most subtle nuances in the sound and the experience is that of all the senses 'working' on the sound (and the means that are producing it), when I play. This has made possible the greater awareness in the moment present.
