By changing your posture you can look, move, and even
breathe better, according to proponents of this century-old
technique popular with entertainers. Developed by an
actor who lost his voice due to improper posture, the
Alexander Technique involves a series of subtle changes
in stance and movement that, once learned, are to be
incorporated into everyday life. Actor William Hurt
introduces viewers to the video and demonstrates the
positions and movements. Hurt must truly believe in this
method because not only does he allow himself to be an on-screen
guinea pig for 74 minutes, but the reclusive actor has
also made rare television appearances promoting the video.
However much he appears to believe in the technique,
though, the Oscar winner displays uncharacteristic
awkwardness in introducing and quizzing his teacher, Jane
Kosminsky. A former dancer, Kosminsky is well versed in
the history and method of the technique as she moves Hurt
through head placement, chair work, "the Monkey"
(a lifting position), walking, and finally a 22-minute
self lesson. At the tape's end Kosminsky warns that a
personal teacher may be needed to truly learn the
technique, and offers a contact number and Web site
information. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Beautiful & Excellent, January 19,
2002
Reviewer: A viewer from USA
I am a computer person who is about to get disabled due
to overworked muscles and bad postures. I tried
accupuncture, medication, massage...etc. whatever I could
think of, to ease the pain but nothing delievered
satisfactory results. This DVD along with "Chi Self
Massage" surpassed the all my expectations. The
first time I tried the technique I instantly felt the
difference and actually felt so much lighter in my neck
area. I understand that this is not a quick fix and the
technique should be treated and incorporated into your
life more like a habbit. You should PRACTISE the theory
and technique all the time. But I can guarantee you that
you will love to remember what this DVD is teaching,
because you feel great. I see myself walking better,
sitting better and feeling better. It makes me feel more
elegant and graceful too. Also I found myself thinking
more positively when I carry my body in the right way.
When I have my own kids, I will teach them this technique
from early age, so that they can have better postures as
a way of life. --This text refers to the DVD edition.

Viewer Review
Back Help, May 15, 2001
Reviewer: A viewer from New York, NY USA
This video helped me enormously in discovering how to
begin to move (and think!) differently in order to help
my back pain and daily discomfort. Giving solid examples
of everyday activities, the video addresses common
problems people have with the way they move and how it
effects their backs--from the way they sit at their desks
at work to how they carry their briefcases(much of which
I was unaware I was doing). The instructor shows how with
simple adjustments to your movements you can prevent
injury and pain. I found it very practical and helpful in
identifying my own problems, and I have given it as a
gift to friends with back troubles. It's also a nice
introduction to the Alexander Technique.
