Description
About AT The Alexander Technique was developed by F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955) at the turn of the twentieth century. One of the goals of AT is to restore accuracy of the kinesthetic sense. AT focuses on awareness of habitual reactions with an emphasis on movement and coordination.
It is difficult to stop hunching, scrunching and "tensing up" when we have been doing so for so long that it starts to feel normal. Yet these habits affect everything we set out to do. If an individual has been playing tennis or taking dance classes for years, yet never seems to improve, underlying habits can be an impeding factor. Many aches and pains can be minimized or even nipped in the bud when we realize what we are doing to contribute to them. AT teachers work with professional musicians, actors, physicians, teachers, coaches, lawyers and homemakers who learn AT to combat a variety of problems including back pain, poor posture, hoarseness, and stage fright.
The ability to recognize and change poor habits gives us choices about how we move and react. This skill restores innate coordination which indirectly improves specific activities such as mountain climbing, typing, playing the flute, or working in the garden. AT is a technique of using ourselves that we can apply to all activities, from working at a computer, to negotiating with a co-worker, to performing household chores.
