Who can benefit?
YOU!
As a nation of back pain sufferers we could do with knowing more about the Alexander Technique. However it’s not just for people with back pain. Anyone can benefit as there is always room for improvement. Very few of us are blessed with perfect co-ordination unless our name is Fred Astaire!
Of course, the technique is used to help people with back, neck, shoulder and joint troubles but can also help in stress management, pregnancy, postural difficulties and many disorders from asthma to RSI and post operative rehabilitation.
Actors, sportspeople and musicians also learn it as it is a way of improving their performances - among them Dame Judi Dench, John Cleese, Sebastian Coe, Roald Dahl, Julie Andrews, Sting, Jeremy Irons, Paul Newman, Maggie Smith, Robin Williams and Lindford Christie.
