While many people come to the Alexander Technique for help with back pain, for which it has been proven to be beneficial, the freedom and ease that people gain from learning this simple technique covers a wide scope.
Because the Alexander Technique is fundamentally about learning how to use your whole biopsychosocial self optimally, it can be applied to whatever you do.
So, if you are a musician, you can discover ways to play your instrument with better tone and sound, and without the pain that unfortunately can accompany this activity. If you are a singer, then you are your instrument, and learning how to use your voice and breathing apparatus better can improve your performance.
Similarly, whatever your job entails, whether you are a plumber, a dancer, a surgeon or a carer of children or the elderly, however you spend your day, learning to recognise your habitual ways of moving in each activity and how to perform with better coordination, the technique becomes a skill that you can choose to apply to any activity so that your performance in every area of your life is enhanced.
