The Alexander Technique

Central to the teaching of the Alexander Technique is an effective use of the self and a complete re-education of posture to enhance mental and physical vitality.

Since 1894 this approach has helped people to use their bodies better than they otherwise could.

The Technique’s success is based on its ability to identify and redress habitual misuse of the body. (Such habits feel normal to us and can directly cause back pain, neck and shoulder tension, breathing disorders, stress related illnesses and general fatigue.)

Furthermore, the Alexander Technique has been recognised by the medical profession for over a century, as an effective holistic approach to improve personal health.

In 2004 the Alexander Technique celebrated 100 years in the UK.

The Alexander Technique is primarily educational in nature and anyone can benefit from it, including those without an ailment who just wish to optimise their well being.

The Technique has various applications from office work to performing on stage, dealing with pregnancy and pain, to improvement in sport.
