The Alexander Technique is a practical method that helps you move more freely and lightly, and recognize and break ingrained habit patterns that cause unnecessary tension. It teaches you to become more aware of your physical and mental posture and to regain natural coordination, in which the relationship between your head, neck, and back is leading.

Alexander Technique can provide significant relief for people struggling with neck, shoulder, and/or back complaints. When we are under a lot of pressure or when we experience stress (mentally and physically), we do not always react to it in the best way. We often choose the shortest or fastest route to our goal, without taking our whole body into account, without taking enough time or paying attention to how we do things. As a result, we often burden ourselves more than necessary, and gravity seems to gain an increasingly stronger hold on us. Through repetition, unnecessary muscle tensions easily turn into continuous tensions, for example in the neck and shoulders, accompanied by a change in posture. Before we know it, these unnecessary tensions and unfavorable posture become our new standard, which hinders optimal functioning. To change this, it is necessary to go further back, namely to the moment before you go into action. By first learning how not to fall back into your old pattern, you create space for something new. Just like learning new skills, it takes time to learn to change ingrained habits. Learning the Alexander Technique is an investment in your own well-being. You learn to eventually be able to reduce and prevent complaints yourself.
