‘Alexander In The News’ is a recurring post on my blog. Whenever I come across news coverage that I think is well done, doing a good job of explaining the Technique, I put it up here. The latest comes from CBS News in Texas where longtime teacher Phyllis Richmond is based. It includes a great video with a testimonial from one of her students who was able to avoid back surgery by studying Alexander.
Ideas about what is “good” posture are changing as we realize that holding ourselves up in a rigid position will not resolve back, neck or shoulder problems. It eventually leads to more discomfort and pain. In fact good posture is dynamic and easeful…and comfortable! – as the student in the video attests.
