Alexander Technique for Posture-related Pain PDF Print E-mail

  • Approximately 75% of adults in the UK suffer one or more bouts of lower back pain in their lives.(www.patient.co.uk)
  • 2.5 million people in the UK have back pain every day of the year. The cost to the NHS, business and the economy is an estimated £5 billion per year. (www.backcare.org.uk)

Learning the Alexander Technique can help to prevent or alleviate conditions associated with undue tension or poor posture. These include many difficulties with pain and weakness, coordination and movement, and joint or muscle problems. Examining the way people carry themselves and hold tension, and teaching them to move more naturally and freely, can address the underlying cause of many such problems.
The Alexander Technique can enhance rehabilitation after surgery, injury, or illness. It can improve management of and pain, and provide coping skills for chronic illness and disabilities.
