The Alexander Technique and its applications

The Alexander Technique is best known as a method for improving posture in everyday activities.

Learning the Alexander Technique can help you with:

• Muscle and joint problems
• Back and neck pain
• Frozen shoulder
• Disc problems
• Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
• Scoliosis
• Osteoporosis, especially when combined with nutritional medicine
• Headaches
• Breathing difficulties
• Anxiety and depression

The Alexander Technique is not a way of doing things but rather a refined understanding of what you are doing. It can therefore enhance your ease and performance in many other activities, including:

• Public speaking, presentations
• Walking and running
• Yoga and pilates
• Golf, tennis, skiing, and any other sporting interest
• Martial arts and extreme sports
• Swimming and gym activities
• Pregnancy and childbirth
