I did most of my reading on this stuff about a decade ago.

One guy I didn't mention was Frank Pierce Jones, who did experimental studies on the Alexander Technique.

Looks like there has actually been a fair amount of study of the Alexander Technique in the last 15 years. See La Wik, and

Like I said, I haven't read this stuff in a while, so please update us on what you find.

The Alexander Technique is incredible valuable in working with RSI; I'm a violinist & AT teacher in NYC and have seen people who couldn't turn a page in a book or press an elevator button without pain learn how rid themselves of RSI by improving their "use" as Mr. Alexander called it.

Here's a little essay that explains some of the ideas behind the work; but it must be learned by hands on experiences to be truly understood.
