By the time we’ve spent a year of two in school, sitting for hours on chairs and at desks we have learned tension patterns that interfere with our natural easiness, balance, support, and freedom of movement. The Alexander Technique is a time-tested method of teaching ways to restore our natural balance, flexibility and ease of movement.

Why is there such concern about wearing high heels? They make it very difficult for the feet to carry out their important sensing and balancing roles. The underlying structure of the human foot is very similar to that of the hand - lots of bones and joints designed to allow us to quickly and easily adapt to whatever it contacts.

June 2000’s issue of New Age Journal has an article about back pain, citing the re-education process of the Alexander Technique as a valuable tool in back care. In May of 2000, the New York State Massage Board determined that the Alexander Technique does not fall under the scope of practice of any of the licensed professions in New York. It is clearer than ever before that our work is truly educational in nature, though it can have quite an impact on physical well-being. The technique is truly a body/mind tool. When someone with back pain chooses to come for lessons, we have a useful tool to teach them. The Alexander Technique is not a replacement for medical intervention. It is a valuable addition to anyone's skills for living (whether in pain or not).
