Ron Alexander (FFTP RMT )

Ron Alexander founded the FFT® method in 1994 during his eight years as the Principal Soft Tissue Therapist for the Australian Ballet. The high performance levels and the flexibility required by the dancers provided the impetus for Ron to experiment with taping techniques leading to the discovery and development of a more functional way of applying tape to modify pain and increase range of movement allowing for rehabilitation.

During this period Ron found that conventional taping in the subacute stage of injury did not always meet the needs of the dancers or adequately address the volume of injuries. This lead to an innovative way to modify and treat pain. Ron's findings were further encouraged by Dr Karim Khan, Susan Mayes and Jan Smith. The Australian Ballet held Ron in such high regard he was awarded the ‘Lady Southey Scholarship for Excellence' from the foundation. Ron has since greatly expanded the FFT method to include patients of the general population suffering from musculoskeletal injuries.

His latest major contribution is a chapter in "Positional Release" by Leon Chaitow (2007) Harcourt Publications, Edinburgh. The influences of Mulligan's pain free approach and Chaitow's comprehensive soft tissue "bodywork" methods have been incorporated into "Trigger Points, Pain and Muscle Tone", a course taught by Ed since 1999. His BA (Hons) in Social Sciences included extensive study of psychology, and how pain behaviour is influenced by physiology and biochemistry is still of particular interest to him. Ed is also a member of the International Advisory Board of the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapy, the official journal of the National Association of Myofascial Trigger point Therapists and the Australian Pilates Method Association.
