The Alexander Technique makes a real difference to my often tense and busy life. Its thoughtful approach has made me calmer, improved my concentration and given me a clearer sense of my own well being. I am grateful for it.
-Joan Bakewell, TV Presenter and Journalist.
Alexander Technique Teachers use the word ‘USE’ to describe how we use our bodies and our mind in our daily activities.
In daily life we have to go to work, we sit at computers, drive our cars, walk to the shops, clean the house, and create specific exercise programs; in all these activities we ‘use’ ourselves.
The way that we ‘use’ our self becomes habitual and often involves excessive amounts of tension, stress, poor posture, and stiff neck.
The result of these repeated tensions and distortions is neck pain, back pain, headaches, and, perhaps more importantly, we are creating long term problems for ourselves.
We are told to exercise regularly but nobody teaches us how we sould be using oursleves during these movements, if we are misusing ourselves during everyday acitivites then what is stopping us taking these distortions and tensions into our 'exercise' movements, this means that we not only continue with the misuse of our bodies but we also limit our performance.
Many people have found the Alexander Technique beneficial; actors, musicians, runners, golfers, climbers, the list is long and includes many ordinary people who want to improve the quality of their daily lives, and develop more awareness.
"97% of people with back pain could benefit by learning the Alexander Technique - it is only a very small minority of back pain sufferers that require medical intervention such as surgery."
-Jack Stern, Renowned Spinal Neurosurgeon
