Sexual Healing

An Alexander Institute treatment that takes the unfashionable idea seriously — that sexual practice is a form of physical health work, not separate from it, and that specific positions and techniques can directly address ordinary ailments most people don't think of as connected to sex at all.

Twenty-nine positions, each demonstrated and explained in terms of which condition it actually helps: backaches, weak bladders, chronic fatigue, the changes that come with menopause. The framing draws on traditional Eastern healing models and integrates them with a contemporary holistic-health perspective, treating the body as a single connected system rather than as separate compartments.

From the Alexander Institute catalog. Best for couples interested in the practical body-work side of sexuality.
