Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique is a method that works to change (movement) habits in our everyday activities. It is a simple and practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination. The technique teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity, giving you more energy for all your activities. It is not a series of treatments or exercises, but rather a re-education of the mind and body. The Alexander Technique is a method which helps a person discover a new balance in the body by releasing unnecessary tension. It can be applied to sitting, lying down, standing, walking, lifting, and other daily activities…”
“Several years ago my doctors advised me to give up fiddle playing as it was the prime cause of a continuing shoulder problem. After seeing an Alexander practitioner who corrected a lifetime of bad posture and playing style, I made a full and lasting recovery. So impressed was I with the technique, I enrolled on a 3-year full-time course to become a practitioner myself. Since qualifying I’ve worked with hundreds of people, a lot of them musicians, to enhance their stage performances and quality of life in general. Several soloists and orchestras have sought my help as a practitioner who is sympathetic to their particular needs. I run regular surgeries and workshops.
