Product Description

Today people often accept common ailments such as backache, headache, arthritis, depression and nervous tension as being "normal". We may readily believe the discomfort we suffer is a natural consequence of "wear and tear", and not realise that we can do something positive about it. In fact, many common ailments stem from stress and a range of muscular tensions caused by bad posture or poor body co-ordination - which can increase as we grow older. Rather than being a natural part of the ageing process, these tensions, if unchecked, can accelerate it and can develop into illness and even cause deformity. The Alexander Technique is a simple method of regaining the natural grace and balance of a child and of discovering easier and more efficient ways of movement. In this step-by-step guide, the author outlines the Alexander Technique, and, by means of a series of simple exercises and procedures, shows how the technique can help the reader to achieve a healthier and more balanced life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to the Alexander Technique, 10 Feb 2001

By A Customer

This book is fascinating. The author takes the time to explain how Alexander first became aware of stresses in his own body which were impeding his performance as an actor and reciter. Through experimentation he discovered how to use his entire body more efficiently, and how different body parts all influence each other for better or worse according to how we use them. The book explains these techniques in clear sections. It does not claim to be a substitute for a live Alexander lesson, but it has worked for me so far - I followed their advice for using the spine and have had less backache.
