I double on this one. I've had very bad chronic pain in wrists and back for more than 10 years. At times, I was forced out of work for long periods, or had to convince my wife to type the code I was dictating her... I tried pretty much every possible physical and chemical help and visited tens of doctors and therapists. I had variable results with these therapies, sometimes null and sometimes decent, but never decisive. Two years ago, I began with Alexander technique and followed approx 30 sessions over a year. I have discovered how bad I was using my body and therefore why I would not improve my condition with any chemical or chiropractic therapy. I have now reduced pain to very acceptable levels and have a normal working life. Healing requires definitely more than visiting a competent therapist, but Alexander technique was a very important piece of the game.
