Most of life isn’t spent doing extraordinary things. It’s spent walking, carrying, bending, reaching, lifting, sitting and standing.
For many of us, everyday actions can become more difficult as time goes on, be it through injury, getting older, or unhelpful postural habits that have crept in uninvited. Think of how many times you repeat small actions during the day. If every time there’s a little bit of extra tension, that’s going to add up to placing a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on joints and muscles.
The Alexander Technique works with how you are doing your everyday activities, to help you become aware of the habits that may be restricting your movement. You learn how to release unnecessary tension, improve coordination and work with your body’s natural design. This gives you a sense of trust in your body and its capabilities. Everyday movements become activities that benefit your health and wellbeing.
