ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE FOR BACKACHE

Painful condition: Backache

Alterna-Treatment: Alexander technique

Research published in the British Medical Journal found that patients trained in Alexander technique, which teaches proper posture and everyday movement habits to reduce strain, experienced an average of 18 fewer days of back pain over four weeks. Go to AlexanderTechnique.com to find an instructor in your area.


MY THOUGHTS

these are not my thoughts. these are wiki's thoughts - i'm simply quoting -

'The Alexander technique is an education/guidance system to "improve posture and movement, and to use muscles efficiently"[1] as defined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM). The "Alexander technique" denotes both the educational methods used by Alexander teachers and the individual bodily awareness methods taught. Students practice the technique to recognize and become free of habituated limitations in their manner of movement as well as for other benefits.'

i still don't get it so i searched for some pics-
