The Alexander Technique

	Do you have a backache or stiff neck and shoulders?
	Do you carry excess tension in your body?
	Do you suffer from Repetitive Strain Injury or carpal tunnel syndrome?
	Do you become uncomfortable when sitting at your computer for long periods of time?
	Are you a singer, musician, actor, dancer or athlete and feel you are not performing at your full potential?

The Alexander technique improves posture and teaches a healthy way of moving. As a result, you learn how to recognise and get rid of harmful tension in your body.

People who learn the Alexander technique find it easier to handle daily stress and develop a long term solution to chronic pain, back injury and muscular tension. They also learn how to rid themselves of tensions as they arise, and restore their own balance.

You can see how our natural support system is supposed to work if you watch young children. They don't stiffen to maintain upright posture. They look comfortable and free.

Each of us has the capacity to access that natural support and restore our original poise. With the Alexander Technique, you learn how to fulfil your full potential to function - pain-free, with ease and grace.

The technique works by changing movement habits in your everyday life. Simple and practical, it can be applied to nearly all of your daily activities. Though you may not realise it, the way you move through your daily activities can cause muscle spasms and repetitive strain injury. Under the expert guidance of an Alexander Technique teacher, you can learn how to change your movement habits while learning effective stress management skills and relaxation techniques.
