The Daily Telegraph London   Page: 23   United Kingdom  October 25, 1991   DR. WILFRED BARLOW, who has died aged 76, was one of the best-known exponents of   the Alexander Principle, which teaches that many illnesses can be avoided by correct bodily   posture.   Frederick Matthias Alexander,  a remarkable Australian, made the major  discovery that the   balance of the body starts with the neck &  head;  he began to train  teachers in London in   1930.   Barlow first learned of him from Aldous Huxley's Ends and Means.  In 1938 he met    Alexander and  enrolled to study under him.     He qualified  as a teacher  of the  Alexander   Technique in 1940 and married the master's niece the same year. After Alexander's death in   1955,   Barlow established the Society of  Teachers of the Alexander Technique, which now   has branches worldwide.   Wilfred Barlow was born on June 12, 1915,  & educated at  Shrewsbury &  Trinity College,   Oxford,  where he  took  a degree in  physiology.   He qualified as a doctor at  St. Thomas's   Hospital.   During the Second World War, he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and was put in   charge of the London district assembly centre, which gave him the opportunity to carry out   research on young men under stress.  Barlow  discovered that  nearly all  the young men in   his care  were suffering from  muscular  tension of one  sort or  another.   His findings were   written up in one of his  earliest medical  treatises,   Anxiety and Muscular Tension.  More   than a decade later, Barlow looked at a national sample of students and discovered that the   10 per cent who complained of persistent  muscular  pain all  manifested disturbed postural   balance.   After the war, he became a consultant at  Wembley Hospital, which  he combined with his    ever-growing practice.   By 1973 Alexander teachers were at four colleges: the Royal College   of Music, RADA,  the New  College of Speech and  Drama, and  Guildhall.  Barlow wrote a   number of papers for medical journals.   He was also the  author of The Alexander Principle   (1973).   He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
