Some Information About The Alexander Technique

By Enid Hinton


Stress is very evident in the world today because of the very fast paced lifestyle that each and every human being has to live with. This stressful lifestyle is actually one of the factors that would contribute to people having more stress and having some physical problems because of it. Now one of the best ways that people were able to confront these stressors was through the alexander technique.

The one who came up with this technique was actually an actor from Australia who goes by the name of Frederick Alexander. He actually had a condition that was known as chronic laryngitis which could not actually be cured by any of the doctors he went to during his time. Of course with a little bit of luck, he was able to create a method to help him release tension in his neck which was actually the cause of everything.

Now the whole concept behind this method is that habitual movements are what causes tightening. Whenever the body moves a certain way, certain muscles tighten. Of course when the muscles would tighten, then one would feel tension.

Now when one would enroll in a class, the teacher will first check out the condition of his body. Of course before any exercises, teachers must know the body type of their students to see what is suitable. The teachers will then be advising their students while letting them do the exercises.

Now just so one would know, this is not a painful exercise and is not at all strenuous to the body. In fact, it is actually quite relaxing as it would only involve short and relaxing movements that one would be doing in his everyday life. This is actually unlike any other type of exercise wherein one would have to make a lot of movements and where he would have to sweat a lot.

An example of the things that he would be doing would of course be just standing up, walking upright, and sitting down which is something he does on a normal day. Now the teachers will also be assisting him as he does this so that the teacher will know which parts of his body has tightening muscles. When the teachers have found out where the tightening of the muscles is and recommend to the students what can be done.

Now the main benefit that one would get from these kinds of exercises would of course be lesser body aches. Now for those who often have body aches in the back, in the head, in the legs, or anywhere else, this method will definitely be great for him. At the same time the exercises of this method would also be able to help lessen stress which means that this method can actually help both physically and mentally.

So basically those are some things one will be learning in these classes. Schools that teach this technique have spread very far in the United States over time. In fact, a place with a lot of schools is none other than NYC or New York City.
