The Alexander Technique is an educational therapy which works to change habits in our everyday activities, enabling us to release unnecessary tension and discover a new balance and ease of movement.

It is a unique and very practical method of improving co-ordination, flexibility and choice.

The Technique works with people in a very integrated way – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Neither a relaxation nor treatment method, the Alexander Technique is something to learn initially with a teacher, developing a self-help tool for life. Many people use the Technique to address specific conditions, which are frequently a result of the increasing pressures of modern-day living. These include:

• Neck and back problems
• Repetitive Strain Injuries
• Posture and flexibility problems
• Tension and anxiety
• Breathing problems
• Stress-related conditions
• Co-ordination and movement problems

The Technique can be used to enhance rehabilitation after operations, injury or illness

A number of people have lessons in order to prevent problems later on or simply to enjoy a sense of well-being.

Others wish to improve a specific skill, such as playing a musical instrument or a sport.
