Understand How The Alexander Technique Can Help You

We often get asked questions about how the Alexander Technique (AT) can help and how it relates both to effective pain management and to performing any skill better. Below are some answers to give you more insight into the AT.

Posture And Pain: Does Your Back Hurt?

We all know about the desirability of relaxation, flexibility, good posture and the absence of tension. Despite our best intentions, despite relaxation classes, fitness classes and Eastern disciplines, despite stretching exercises, posture exercises, taping and Californian know-how, we’re still tense and uncomfortable in our bodies, with aching backs, sore necks, stiff shoulders, injuries and named conditions. What information are we lacking?

Exercising but getting injured?

Athletes involved in sports as diverse as long-distance running, dressage, swimming, X-C skiing and hammer-throwing recognise the benefits that come with a training in the Alexander Technique.

Who uses The Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique is used by many different people who are looking for effective pain management and want to operate their body more easily.

Freedom in Action has worked with Musicians, Sports people, Office Workers, New mums, Horse Riders, Gym junkies, Singers, Actors, Public Servants, Martial Arts specialists, Young men, Elderly Women, IT specilaists and the list goes on. The Alexander Technique is ideal for everybody who wants to do what they do better.
