The Alexander Technique is a profound and practical method of self-management, with wide-ranging physical and mental benefits, that can be put into practice wherever you are and whatever you might be doing.

Rather than learning to do something new, the practice of the Alexander Technique requires us instead to learn to stop doing much that we have previously been doing habitually and unconsciously; habits that are unhelpful to our proper functioning and/or cause us pain, discomfort or stress.

Alexander lessons shine the light of awareness on these previously unnoticed habitual tensions and weaken the hold these habits have over us.  

By helping us to organise ourselves in such a way as to gain the most relaxation in activity, we can maximise poise and balance and minimise strain and effort.  It follows therefore that, as well as enhancing performance, improving vitality and general well-being, the Alexander Technique can have a positive effect on a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back, neck or shoulder pain and other muscular/skeletal problems
  • Headaches
  • RSI
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Sports and performance strain
  • Stress related illness
  • Anxiety and depression




About Alexander Technique

‘Tensegrity’ models of human anatomy by Tom Flemons www.intensiondesigns.com

In the late 1800s, F M Alexander, a self-reliant Australian with a burning desire to perform as a dramatic reciter, was constantly plagued with voice problems. Faced with the realisation that the medical profession could offer him no solution other than prescribing rest, Alexander set about sorting the problem out for himself, rigorously applying the scientific method to his own situation.

Years of meticulous self- observation, hypothesis and experiment later, he had completely solved his voice problems and vastly improved his general health and functioning.  In the process he evolved an ingenious and practical way of asserting conscious control over unconscious habit in the day to day use of the self. This has come to be known world-wide as ‘Alexander Technique’.
