ACHIEVE PEAK PERFORMANCE
The Alexander Technique is a psychophysical education that provides a clear, systematic approach to the underlying principles that govern all human movement. AT relieves tension, rigidity, strain, and fatigue throughout the body. These disorders are replaced by grace, poise, confidence, and energy. Professional athletes like John McEnroe have used AT to improve their game. AT lessons realign the body (and mind) in order to release unnecessary tension and improve freedom of movement. In the process, you'll relieve compression in your spine, counter gravity, and find yourself "higher" with a sense of expansion, lightness, and energy.
Lessons provide an education into the mechanics of the body, your movement patterns (one's somatic experience of themselves) in your everyday life. AT deals with kinesthetic perception, "the sensations of position and movement, of heaviness and lightness, of tension and release, of effort and ease." The purpose of AT is to organize this information within yourself so that it can be perceived in relation to stimuli coming from outside yourself. It's like having an owner's manual to your body.
PREVENT PAIN, TENSION, AND STRESS
Study shows 85% Reduction in Back Pain Through the Alexander Technique!
Chronic back pain affects millions of Americans and , though treatments have multiplied, relief remains elusive. In August, the British Medical Journal published a study showing that Alexander Technique, a noninvasive method of improving posture and movement, reduced back pain by an impressive 85%.
One of the few studies to show significant long-term benefits for patients with chronic back pain, this randomized clinical trial involved 579 patients and compared Alexander Technique with classical massage and normal GP care. Of all the approaches tested, 24 Alexander Technique lessons proved most effective. Subjects who received the 24 lessons reported only three days of pain per month, versus the control group who reported 21 days of pain.
The Alexander Technique can also provide relief, recuperation and prevention from a number of other neurological and musculo-skeletal ailments including:
-
Neck, back, and hip disorders
