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
I would not say I am a fan of the technique – I am a disciple. For many years I suffered with chronic neck pain following a horse riding accident. When my HR manager recommended the Alexander Technique I was intrigued. Her father, a stroke victim, had experienced an incredible recovery from practising the Technique – to the point where he no longer needed a walking stick. After the first lesson I felt a dramatic difference; my neck felt long and free like a giraffe.
