In 2008 the British Medical Journal published the "unusually conclusive" results of a trial of the Alexander Technique and back pain. The Technique was recommended as effective in the long term and also cost-effective. Anna was one of the teacher practitioners who took part in this trial. The Alexander Technique has also proved helpful to some sufferers from Parkinson's Disease: http://www.alexandertechnique.com/research.htm And there is anecdotal evidence that the work helps with blood pressure and with asthma. Email Anna for further information.
A further report was published in the BMJ on the economics with a view to NHS funding: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/337/dec11_2/a2656

Anna's clients have included physiotherapists, doctors, anaesthetists and surgeons. She has received direct referrals from consultant rheumatologists and neuro-surgeons.
