Having spent the last 15 years with chronic pain syndrome, I tried many things but relief was short-lived. I would recommend anyone try an AT lesson to gain awareness of body use and prevent damage. How I wish I’d tried it years ago!
As a classical singer, I found Alexander Technique lessons useful to enhance posture and singing technique. It promotes well-being and a healthier attitude towards physical and emotional challenges.
After developing a frozen shoulder, combining physiotherapy with Alexander Technique sessions helped me regain full mobility within three months. Everyday activities became more effortless and relaxed.
I would highly recommend it for anyone suffering from back/neck/shoulder pain or RSI (or indeed any kind of pain or aches).
Having been sceptical about Alexander Technique since first hearing about it 6 years ago and dismissing it as not being a physical enough approach for me, I am a total convert and would recommend it to everyone.
I would definitely recommend it, even if you don’t have any known ailments.
It helped me to improve not only my vocal health, but also my general wellbeing both physical and mental.
Alexander lessons have greatly improved my posture, my family have noticed this and it's eased my worries of back problems in the future. It's also given me some useful techniques in dealing with anxiety, evident by how calm I am after the sessions.
