Contact details ...and the return of touch

2/3/2021

This morning the welcome news that hugs are coming back to care homes prompted BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour programme to explore the importance of touch.  To find out more about why we feel touch-deprived in lockdown, and why touch boosts the immune system and a sense of wellbeing, listen to Suzi Godson's succinct explanation of the science.
​
In normal times, touch and hands-on guidance are key components of learning the Alexander Technique.  While I have been pleasantly surprised how much can be conveyed in a Zoom AT session, I confess I am itching to use my highly-trained hands again.  Roll on April 12, when in-person AT lessons will be permitted once more.  And swimming.  And haircuts.
