| WHO
IS THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE FOR?
Philippa
teaches people of all ages, from teenagers to those in their eighties,
with all sorts of problems. For example:
Computer
users can be taught how to make sure they sit on their sitting bones
and not to let the stimulus of the computer over ride their sense
of themselves. Also how much effort does it take to use a mouse?
Those
in physical occupations are taught the importance of their joints,
remapping them, and relearning how they work.
Osteoporosis
sufferers learn that the tighter they hold onto themselves for fear
of falling the more likely it is to happen. What is balance?
Musicians
benefit by becoming aware of how the arms are supported by the back
and that connecting into the feet is also crucial, learning how
to be toned rather than too tense or too relaxed.
Runners
and other sports people can be made aware that, although there is
always an end to be gained, a race to be won, the difference between
winning and losing, and not getting injured, can often be the awareness
of how they are using themselves.
Sometimes
people just feel ill at ease with themselves and the Alexander Technique
can help them reconnect.
WHOEVER YOU ARE, WHATEVER YOU DO, THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE IS
FOR YOU
