"...Mr. Alexander has done a service to the subject by insistently treating each act as involving the whole integrated individual, the whole pycho-physical man. To take a step is an affair, not of this limb or that limb solely, but of the total neuro-muscular activity of the moment--not the least of the head and the neck."
Sir Charles Sherrington, O.M. F.R.S. from
Will & Reflex Action, Cambridge
University Press, 1946.
-
Professor John Dewey saw the Alexander Technique as a way of achieving "Vital Freedom." and "The teachings of Mr. Alexander bears the same relation to education that education itself bears to all other human activity."
-
"After practicing the Alexander Technique, my family and I have noticed with growing amazement striking improvements in such diverse things as high blood pressure, breathing, depth of sleep, overall cheerfulness and mental alertness, resilience against outside pressures, and a refined skill in playing a stringed instrument."
Professor Nikolaas Tinbergen,
Scientist, 1973 Nobel Prize
for Physiology/Medicine
