The following information is about Alexander Technique.
Alexander Technique Defined
Alexander Technique is a method of mind/body integration, which leads to ease of movement and awareness. The Alexander Technique is usually taught in individual lessons, during which the student becomes aware of patterns of contraction in everyday activities such as walking, sitting, standing, bending and lifting. With the help of the Alexander teacher's verbal guidance and light informative touch, the student discovers excess tension and movement patterns that are constricting or result in pain, and then learns to release them. The Alexander Technique is taught as rehabilitation centers and pain clinics, and is part of many music and dramatic arts curriculums.
