Alexander Technique

What is the Alexander Technique?

• The Alexander Technique is a self-health method that helps us recognize and change harmful patterns of movement and posture that interfere with the easy movement of our bodies.

• Bad movement habits are a leading cause of back pain and the Alexander Technique is clinically proven to reduce the cause of such pain (see Back Pain Study).

• Alexander teachers teach students "constructive conscious control" over the use of their bodies. Students gradually become aware of poor postural habits and learn to use their thoughts to change how their body functions.

• The Technique can be applied to any task, such as standing, lifting, walking, playing an instrument or working at a desk.
