Alexander Technique
and Surgery

For Surgeons

Research published in Urotoday examined American surgeons who applied the Alexander Technique to their work. The findings were significant — reduced discomfort during laparoscopic procedures, improved posture and endurance, and better ergonomics across all surgical skill sets.

For Patients Managing Pain

Many people come to the Alexander Technique managing chronic pain — including pain that has persisted after surgical intervention. The technique works by addressing the whole-body tension habits that compound pain and slow recovery, rather than focusing only on the site of the problem.

An NHS-funded study demonstrated an 86% reduction in chronic back pain days after a course of Alexander Technique lessons. The technique is now recommended in NICE guidelines for low back pain.
