Alexander Technique Back Pain, Neck Pain.

Mark Josefsberg — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:02:30 +0000

The Alexander Technique can have a huge, positive impact on pain, and I know this from personal experience. The Alexander Technique got me out of the severe neck pain I was in, and now I see the same results over and over as I teach Alexander Technique lessons in NYC to people suffering from back pain, neck and shoulder pain, hand pain. We don't realize that we're causing our own pain by the way we use our bodies (poor posture, added stress). The good news is that the Alexander Technique shows us a way out from this pain. It puts us back in control... Related posts:

Alexander Technique Directions I wish to free my neck ... so that My head can move forward and up...so that My torso can lengthen and widen and... My legs can move away from my torso and... My shoulders can release out the sides. Alexander Technique directions act as verbal, or neuro-linguistc cues. They tell us where we want to go, which is often upward, outward, into expansion. Up, down, and out. Head up, feet or sit bones down, shoulders out, legs away... Related posts:

Correct Posture and Choice

"A correct position or posture indicates a fixed position, and a person held to a fixed position cannot grow, as we understand growth. The correct position today cannot be the correct position a week later for any person who is advancing in the work of reeducation and coordination. F.M. Alexander- Constructive Conscious Control of the Individual During Alexander Technique lessons, people frequently sit up straight or move their head around and ask: is this right?" I answer differently in different situations, but the real answer might be: No. I don't say that because the... Related posts:

Over Learning The Alexander Technique

Mark Josefsberg — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:17:27 +0000

The Alexander Technique has been described as a reeducation technique or psycho-physical reeducation. It is also a technique to be overlearned, and not only because you learn it over other things (bad habits of either movement or stillness), but when it comes to the Alexander Technique we need to be overeducated; we need to overlearn it so that we can use it under duress, much like a musician practices over and over to be able to execute music under stress...

Alexander Technique Slumping, Shlumping

On my subway ride to teach some Alexander Technique lessons at the American Center for the Alexander Technique in Mahattan, I noticed a man who could not have been more stooped over. As an Alexander Technique teacher I was particularly aware of how he was seated, reading the paper, his head not very far from his knees. His face was quite tense, and had a scowl I suspected was habitual. He seemed to 'have the weight of the world on his shoulders... Related posts:

Your Back Pain Is Killing Me! Alexander Technique.

Mark Josefsberg — Sat, 15 May 2010 17:09:45 +0000

...the Alexander Technique 'inhabits' your body through the cultivation of awareness. We realize, through Alexander Technique lessons, that we have control over this tension. I didn't know that I had control over my overly-tensed painful neck until I started working with an Alexander Technique teacher. I just thought: my neck is tense and it hurts. I didn't know...
