- Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a system of reeducating your body and mind so you can use your self in a way that facilitates proper posture, ease of movement, and attainment of optimum health. Through gentle manual guidance accompanied by verbal directions, the Alexander teacher coaches a student to become aware of and to inhibit unnecessary movement and to achieve greater ease and efficiency in performing physical tasks. As the body regains more optimum functioning, the student often gains relief from stress and chronic pain. F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955), the originator of this techique, summarized his subtle goal in the elegantly simple dictum of "developing a better use of the self."
