Learning The Famous Alexander Technique

By Enid Hinton


Most people today are so stressed because of the past paced lifestyle of the society today which is why many people seek ways on how to relieve this tension. One of the best methods in which one can relieve some of his tension would from the very famous alexander technique. It is one of the most effective techniques when it comes to calming both the body and the mind.

The one who came up with this technique was actually an actor from Australia who goes by the name of Frederick Alexander. He actually had a condition that was known as chronic laryngitis which could not actually be cured by any of the doctors he went to during his time. Of course with a little bit of luck, he was able to create a method to help him release tension in his neck which was actually the cause of everything.

Now the main belief of people who teach this method is that the muscles of the body tend to develop habitual movements. It is because of these movements that the muscles would tighten. Of course because of muscle tightening that one would feel pain.

Now if one would enroll in one of these classes, he will first be assessed by the teacher. The teacher has to first see the condition of his students in order to let them do some exercises. Of course the teachers would be advising their students to come in comfortable clothes so that they can be able to relax during their exercises.

Now one thing to remember is that this exercise is not strenuous at all and can be done by those who are not very physically fit. It is not like other stretching exercises wherein one would need to strain his muscles and do poses or other types of strenuous things. This is in fact a very relaxing type of workout wherein one is actually going slow and following the pace of his own body.

Now some of the things that one will be doing would be walking, running, sitting down, standing up, or any other body movements that he does normally. While he does this, the teachers will be checking his body to see if there are some body parts tightening anywhere. If there are, then the teachers will be advising the students as to what they can do and what changes they are supposed to make with their body movements.

Some of the benefits that one can gain from learning this technique would be first less body pains. If one is prone to such body pains such as backaches, sore necks, or any other type of muscle pain, then this method can actually do wonders for him as it would help lessen these pains. Another thing that this method does is lessen stress in the body which means that after doing some exercises, one will actually feel less stressed.

So for those who would often have body aches, this method is definitely very helpful. The great thing about it is that this method is getting very popular in America. It is in fact very popular in NYC because there are so many people with high levels of stress there.
