Re: Musicians - how useful is Alexander Technique? Feldenkrais?

[George Robinson <grcomm...>]

I've done Alexander technique, but I'm not an instrumentalist so I'm not sure 
how useful my experience would be. I found it enormously helpful in several 
ways (not the least of them being that it brought my height from 5-7-1/4 to 
5-8). I'm considering acupuncture for my neck, hand and arm pain, all of which 
is computer related. I'd like to hear more, although this is rather OT, isn't 
it.

shoulder pain/carpal tunnel.  (Oy!  So vot can I kvetch about now?!)
