It's about posture and tension. Invented by an actor. People are applying it to music performance, equestrian sports, etc. There are a lot of different specialists who study the human body and physical stress and performance. We have people in areas of ergonomics, kinesiology, etc., in out school, there are sports medicine types, trainers, and so forth and they all borrow liberally from each other. I saw an article in a paper recently which showed a fiddle player working out with a big inflatable ball. All about flexibility and relaxation. I think she was at a sports medicine clinic.
