Alexander Technique

The Alexander Technique is a way to help you move in a more confident, comfortable and efficient way. It can help you to improve your posture, reduce muscle tension, reduce the risk of injuries, and boost your self-confidence.

It works by teaching you how to pay attention to how your body moves and how it is positioned. It helps you to become aware of the way your body is positioned, so you can make changes to improve your posture, use less force, prevent pain and feel more relaxed.

Practitioners of the Alexander Technique help you to become aware of your body's habits and to recognize how you may be using too much force or tension in your body, which can lead to pain and discomfort. Then, they will help you to learn how to move differently so you can use less force and be more relaxed.

For example, rather than slouching or slumping your shoulders, they will help you to find ways of using your body that are more supportive and efficient, so that you can move with grace and ease.

In a nutshell, the Alexander Technique is a way to help you move with more comfort and less tension, so you feel better and have more confidence.
