The ‘Alexander Technique’ came into being from F.M. Alexander, who was an actor.  He lost his voice when reciting, and stopped working to try and figure out what he was doing that caused the problem. It took him 12 years, observing himself in a mirror, before he realized he had a tendency to tighten his head, neck and back.

 

It wont take you 12 years to learn his technique!

 

You must, however, be prepared to give this alternative therapy some time.

 

The process works by a series of what appears to be a very gentle guidance from the teacher’s hands, with directions.  These commands directly influence the nervous system and send signals to the muscles to release.  This can cause a general relaxation in the whole body.  A lighter, free-er sensation is obtained.

 

The Technique has benefits for conditions including:- back pain, RSI, stage-fright, depression, whip-lash, sports injuries, stress, chronic pain, certain degenerative diseases. It offers a real alternative to specialists such as Osteopaths and Chiropractors.

 

A feeling of vitality returns and a zest for living, gives a calmer, confident outlook on life and living.
