You might think that the holistic approach of The Alexander Technique is very contemporary, maybe even a little voguish. In fact, it is over a century old. Throughout this period, The Technique has often withstood stringent evaluation, and has always been thoroughly vindicated, winning many admirers in the process.
In fact, as science gains a greater understanding of our postural mechanism and the way we use ourselves, so the evidence comes to support the developing theory and practice of The Alexander Technique. Because over the past hundred years, as science has advanced, so new discoveries have validated The Alexander Technique: a hallmark of a true breakthrough. Not so surprising really, when you bear in mind that even though F.M. Alexander was not a scientist, he was exacting in his use of Scientific Method in developing his Technique.
For example, Professor John Dewey, the eminent Educationalist and Philosopher, said: "Mr. Alexander has demonstrated a new scientific principle... as important as any principle which has ever been discovered in the domain of external nature". High praise indeed, but by no means unique. Even a publication as restrained as the British Medical Journal granted a rare plaudit to this layman: "He (Alexander) would certainly appear to have something of value to communicate to the medical profession, educationalists, and the community as a whole".
