Alexander Technique

Having witnessed the weeks of agony that my Dad has gone through on several occasions with his knackered back, my thoughts have turned to trying to avoid getting into the same situation myself. After about an hour of walking I tend to suffer not insignificant lower back pain (not to mention my dodgy knees) and find that I generally have a low level of pain the rest of the time. Hard to judge these things as I seem to have a pretty high pain threshold - I managed to quite happily ignore appendicitis for a couple of days before paying a visit to the slicers and dicers at my local hospital.

So, I'm interested in trying the Alexander Technique, but I don't know too much about it. Some googling has only produced superficial results so far. I'm looking for some opinions as to how worthwhile it is: both from professionals and from those who have had personal experience.

Thanks in advance.
