Item Description
The Alexander Technique teaches people of all ages and abilities how to relieve the stress and chronic pain caused by habitual misuse of the body, as well as those who suffer from poor posture, spine and joint pain, headache, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, osteoarthritis, and other disorders of the musculo-skeletal system caused by excess tension and poor coordination.
It aims at improved coordination of awareness, quality of movement, physiological functioning and mental attitude in the performance of ordinary living. At any given moment, through the process of self-monitoring, a person learns to increase active attention and especially to include in awareness a respect for the relationship between the head, neck and torso. Such attention impacts on the whole human being, freeing and normalizing the functioning of innate movement responses, postural reflexes and respiratory integrity.
With the help of a teacher’s hands you learn how to recognize unconscious habits of excess muscle tension which create poor posture, faulty breathing, and excessive strain throughout the body. There are practical exercises to help you consciously prevent or relieve these tension habits and to develop or restore a more balanced posture and coordination in movement and at rest. We call ourselves teachers because we are teaching the student something he or she can then apply for themselves, which may lead to a life-changing sense of release of tension and ease of movement.
