Science is now truly giving Alexander
Technique (AT) a new lease of life.
Several leading researchers are also Alexander teachers. The new website set
up by Tim Cacciatore, Raj Cohen, Patrick
Johnson and Andrew McCann has much to offer.
I particularly like the article by Raj Cohen. She relates concepts used by AT
teachers to relevant fields of science (e.g.
biomechanics), She then outlines the extent to
which each AT concept is strongly backed by
current science. Most are. Some need much more
research, and a few may not be not validated.
