Work and Play Stress-Free with the Alexander Technique
Most chronic pain sufferers are not world-class athletes, performers, or people born with congenital diseases and physical impairments. They are everyday people who work hard and enjoy physical activities in their spare time.
Unfortunately, just one freak injury, the damage caused by repetitive movements, or sitting improperly at a computer desk all day may result in a lifetime of pain and discomfort.
Because of the Alexander Technique’s ability to reduce stress, prevent injury, and enable natural flowing movement, it is ideal for
- People with physically demanding jobs, such as construction workers, therapists, waiters, firefighters, and nurses
- Caregivers for children and the elderly
- Office workers whose jobs cause them muscle tension and strain in the back, neck, and arms
- Business professionals who wish to improve their presentation skills and speaking ability
- Anyone who has experienced a workplace injury or car accident
- People who work out, run, or play sports of any kind
- Sufferers of chronic anxiety, depression, and mood swings
The Alexander Technique is a set of guidelines for using the body efficiently in daily activities, which can greatly reduce the risk of injury caused by poor balance and coordination. Though it is not a miracle cure for medical conditions, by reducing the stress response and improving overall health and well-being, the Alexander Technique often provides a surprising degree of relief.
