The Alexander Technique has been beneficial to people with a wide variety of neurological and musculoskeletal problems. Examples include: neck, back and hip disorders, traumatic and repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain and arthritis, breathing and coordination disorders, stress-related disorders and migraines, dystonia, Parkinson's Disease, and stroke.

    Doctors also refer their patients to the Alexander Technique to learn self-management skills that can lessen the depression and anxiety associated with chronic conditions.

    The Technique provides an index for observing and improving human movement and a means to gain proficiency in basic movement skills. You can enjoy this ease and efficiency by re-examining such daily activities as walking, bending, squatting, lunging, moving in bed or transferring to and from seated surfaces.

    The Technique also addresses habits of muscular response by offering a unique approach to neuromuscular re-education. The result is conscious control of muscular tension in the neck, back and shoulders, more efficient movement and improved upright posture. A primary benefit in repetitive stress or traumatic injury is learning proper use of the peripheral joints involved in the injury.

    Most importantly, you will learn a unique self-management process that directly affects the function of any peripheral joint: an understanding of balance and dynamic postural control.
