Paul McCartney
Alexander Technique
Various British media outlets, including The Times and The Daily Record, have said that Beatles legend Paul McCartney is a fan of the Alexander technique. Calls to McCartney's publicist for comment on this were not returned.
Not so much a treatment as a therapeutic practice, the Alexander technique is a series of movements designed to change balance, movement, breathing and thinking.
Actor Frederick Alexander developed the technique in the 1940s to help his voice and breathing.
Mainstream medicine has done few studies of the Alexander technique; however, some small studies in Britain have shown the Alexander technique to be more effective than massage or exercise for back pain.
