Medical Evidence - Back Pain Trial
A major clinical trial funded jointly by the Medical Research Council and the NHS, and published in The British Medical Journal showed that the Alexander Technique is cost effective for the NHS in combating chronic and recurrent back pain: "the Technique reduces pain and muscle spasm, improves co-ordination and flexibility and strengthens postural muscles."
