Many
of us are using a great deal of unnecessary muscular tension
in our daily
activities, even when
we think
that we are relaxed. Indeed modern life is so busy and
stressful that it causes a great deal of physical, mental and
emotional
pressure. This makes us lose the good co-ordination of
the whole body, which we originally had. Instead, we get used
to
a misuse
of the body as a long-term habit.
This misuse may affect over health, and it may cause us aches
or pains, and discomfort
or such as backache, frozen shoulder,
stiff neck, migraine, lack of
vitality, Insomnia etc.
What is the Alexander Technique?
The Alexander Technique improves the way you use yourself in
daily activity. In our lessons we try to give you a new sensory
experience of how to use
your body. We teach you how to get rid of old habits and how to restore
the right
amount of muscular tension. The Alexander Technique is not a therapy,
nor a healing method, nor a form of physical exercise, but it
is
about learning
a good
use of yourself, which may help to resolve pain and discomfort.
