Alexander Technique
The Alexander Technique helps us become aware of how we perform daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, running and even sleeping. Bad habits that we may be unaware of, such as hunching over a desk, slouching or tensing up as we move, can create tensions in our bodies and seriously compromise our health. By re-educating the body with the Alexander Technique, people often noticeably change shape and become taller, freer, more elastic, elegant and younger-looking, as tensions are released and posture improves. It also brings a feeling of well-being and confidence.

Trial results clearly showed that practising the Alexander Technique leads to long-term benefits: a reduction in the number of days in pain and significant improvement in function and quality of life. Furthermore, the research revealed that following 24 Alexander Technique lessons, the average number of activities limited by low back pain had fallen by 42%, and the number of days in pain had decreased from 21 to 3 days per month one year after the trial started.
