"The Alexander Technique works by helping an individual to identify and prevent the harmful postural habits.

An Alexander technique teacher will advise individuals how to look at the way they move, stay still, breathe, learn, organise our awareness and focus their attention, and how they choose to react in increasingly demanding situations.

The technique works through re-establishing the natural relationship between the head, the neck and the back - the "core" of the body that supports the strength of the limbs and which provides the structural environment for breathing and for the internal organs." (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council - CNHC www.cnhc.org.uk)

As with all treatments, a full consultation should be completed with a qualified therapist to ensure that Alexander Technique is right for you.
