Stony Brook Congress 1986 – Workshop Deborah Caplan

In this workshop Deborah Caplan uses a skeletal model to discuss the anatomical nature of movement and structure of the spine. For over 50 years, Deborah Caplan successfully applied the Alexander Technique to back care. A physical therapist, she was a founding member of the American Center for the Alexander Technique and senior faculty member of the teacher training program.
I observed Deborah giving my cousin a lesson but I was unable to discern what she was DOING! She was getting miraculous results. I asked her what she was doing and she explained by putting her hands on me. I remember the moment – I was standing there reorganizing under her hands. It was a “new” and amazing kinaesthetic experience. (Judith Stern MA, PT).
