Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique identifies unconscious patterns of excessive muscular tension which can:
Cause or exacerbate pain;
Result in a collapsed or rigid posture;
Exert a downward pressure on the spine, intervertebral discs, and skeletal system in general;
Interfere with our postural support musculature, skeletal alignment and movement; and
Have a negative effect on our mood and stress levels.
The Technique can provide relief from pain including:
Sciatica and back pain
Knee, hip, neck, shoulder pain
Parkinson’s disease
Arthritis, fibromyalgia & hypermobility
Tension headaches & migraines

This video gives an introduction to how the Technique works. It includes findings from three randomized controlled trials showing long-term benefits for people with chronic back pain, chronic neck pain and those living with Parkinson’s disease.
Clinical research trials - back & neck pain
A research study in the British Medical Journal showed that the Alexander Technique reduced back pain by an average of 86%.
A further study found that the Alexander Technique significantly reduced neck pain.
