The Alexander Technique (AT) is a skill that can be learned. It involves developing the awareness of how you move and how you sit/stand. Some of these movements and postures may be causing you problems. The AT is most commonly known as a method of pain relief or posture improvement, but it is much more. It is mainly concerned with identifying harmful postural habits and then preventing them.

Reasons for visiting an Alexander Technique Practitioner include: general aches and pains, RSI, improving posture, sports performance, stress management, pregnancy and professional development. The Technique is grounded in movement and self examination of the way we move. Although it is calming and de-stressing, it is not a relaxation session. It is not an alternative or complementary therapy either; it is a method of re-education.

Before taking AT lessons, you should check that your Practitioner is qualified. Daryl qualified under STAT, the worlds oldest and largest AT Professional Society.
