The Alexander Technique is a practical form of self-help you can do anywhere, at any time. During the 45 minute Alexander Technique lessons, which feature gentle hands-on work, you become aware of the tension in your body, the tension that can cause back and neck pain, breathing disorders, poor postural habits and all manner of stress-related conditions. Using the Alexander Technique you gradually learn to think and move differently with less effort, producing a profound feeling of freedom & lightness. Significant long-term benefit from Alexander Technique lessons for low back pain has been demonstrated by a major study published by the British Medical Journal on 20th August 2008
