The Alexander Technique is a simple, practical method for attaining better posture, improving coordination and enhancing personal well-being.
People of all ages and abilities study the Alexander Technique to relieve pain, reduce stress, improve posture and enhance performance:
- people with chronic or recurrent back pain
- people with neck and shoulder pain
- computer users with hand, wrist and arm
- people interested in improving posture
- public speakers
- people wanting greater flexibility in both body and mind
- amateur and professional athletes (walking, running, cycling, gym work etc.)
- everyday tasks: housework, parents carrying young children, lifting groceries etc.
- performing artists (singers, dancers, actors, musicians)
The Alexander Technique is particularly effective in managing back pain. Back trouble is one of the most common, debilitating and intractable health issues. A comprehensive clinical trial published by British Medicine Journal in 2008 showed that the Alexander Technique outperformed many other treatments for chronic back pain.
