I'm at the moment reading Hanna and Feldenkrais. With both I note that they did their work decades ago. Is there something more recent in that domain that you would recommend to read as well?
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.

The question is whether there's good recent literature on the topic. Is there more recent writing than Alexander's that's good?
