Exciting News! My Co-authored Article on Alexander Technique for Older Adults is Now Published!

I am thrilled to share some exciting news: my co-authored article on the Alexander Technique for older adults has been officially published in the Explore journal and is now indexed in PubMed!

This paper, written together with Dr. Misha Kogan — the founder of the George Washington University Center for Integrative Medicine — presents the Alexander Technique as an evidence-based, low-cost method for addressing chronic pain and frailty prevention in older adults.

Why This Matters

As our population ages, the need for safe, effective, and accessible approaches to chronic pain management and mobility preservation grows more urgent. Many older adults live with persistent pain, loss of balance, and declining functional capacity — and the conventional options (medication, surgery, inactivity) often come with significant trade-offs.

The Alexander Technique offers a fundamentally different approach. Rather than treating symptoms, it teaches people to recognize and change the habitual movement patterns that contribute to pain, tension, and loss of balance. It is gentle, non-invasive, and empowers individuals to take an active role in their own well-being.

Our paper presents the evidence showing that the Alexander Technique can be a powerful complement to traditional care — helping older adults manage chronic pain, reduce fall risk, and maintain independence.

What This Means for My Practice

This publication is deeply meaningful to me — not just as a professional milestone, but because it validates what I see in my studio every day. I watch clients rediscover ease in their bodies. I see people who had given up on being pain-free find new hope. I witness the transformation that comes from learning to work with the body instead of against it.

Having this work recognized in peer-reviewed research means that more healthcare providers, caregivers, and older adults themselves can discover the Alexander Technique as a real, evidence-based option.

If you or someone you love is navigating chronic pain, mobility challenges, or the desire to age with greater ease and independence, I would love to talk with you about how the Alexander Technique might help.
