Alexander Technique

Central to the teaching of the Alexander Technique, is an effective use of the self and a complete re-education of posture. This is brought about through gentle manual guidance and trained observation, which in turn leads to enhanced mental and physical vitality. The Alexander technique can improve co-ordination in any human activity, and can identify and redress habitual misuse of the body that can be the cause of back pain, neck and shoulder tension, breathing disorders, stress related illnesses and general fatigue.

Ms Marguerite Van Boetzler

More on Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique can be applied anywhere and at any time, particularly as it teaches users to notice dysfunction in themselves, and to remedy it.

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

The British Medical Journal published a report on the technique and described it as a cost effective option for the NHS to alleviate back pain. BBC reports on back pain eased by good posture as well;

The technique is primarily educational in nature, but learning and applying it has therapeutic benefits and preventative consequences for the health of the individual.

In particular, clients with the following conditions will benefit from applying the technique: backache, neck ache, where posture is a factor; high blood pressure; asthma, hyperventilation, anxiety states (including performance anxiety); functional disorders; osteoarthritis; temporo-mandibular joint syndrome; scoliosis,; spondylosis; migraine, tension headaches; cerebal palsy; multiple sclerosis ; parkinsons disease; rehabilitation after stroke, injury, operation or any other treatment ; prevention of backache in pregnancy; dystonias; non-specific regional pain syndrome.

The most convenient way to experience how the Alexander Technique can help you is to start taking lessons once a week for a month and observe the consequential effects. No special equipment is required and you keep fully clothed at all times.

Initial lessons are one hour and subsequent lessons last 30 minutes.
