I’ve updated the Alexander Technique (AT) science page on this website. Why? A landmark science paper on AT was published this autumn. The paper proposes a model for how AT works based on the latest research into AT and related disciplines.
It’s no understatement to say that this is the most important publication on AT in decades. For the first time we have an explanatory framework for AT that’s based on modern scientific method and which can help inform theory, practice, debate and public discourse.
The original paper is of course detailed and complex. However, on my AT science page, I’ve summarized the model and the research findings it’s based on. I hope it’s a pretty approachable (and short!) read.
