Alexander Technique

Touted as one of the best ways to improve posture and alleviate back pain, the Alexander Technique is designed to help people become more aware of (and discover how to reduce) any harmful postural and mental habits that often contribute to pain, tension and stress. Through exercises that focus on poise of the head and the whole spine to help improve muscle tone, you are taught to rediscover your natural co-ordination and balance. Learning and applying the technique can ease chronic back pain and may also be helpful for reducing general muscle niggles, breathing or vocal problems, anxiety and various stress-related conditions.
