About FM Alexander and his discoveries
 


 


Improve Your Posture (by using your head)


Many people recognise that they need to improve their posture. Perhaps they have been told by their GP that poor posture is at the root of their back or neck pain.

There are many approaches to trying to correct posture, including exercises to try and strengthen specific muscles, stretching exercises, braces, deportment training, manipulation techniques and even surgery.

However, until you find out what it is that you are doing which is putting your posture wrong, and stop doing it - postural habits will almost invariably reassert themselves.

 

In order to discover what you are doing wrong, you need to cultivate the awareness to recognise the difference between your habitual wrong posture and a more balanced state.

 

Through the Alexander Technique you can:

  • discover how the natural support structures of the body work so that you can learn to cooperate with them
     

  • find out what it is that you are doing which is interfering with these mechanisms, and stop doing it
