What sort of exercise should I do to relieve my neck or back pain? In this interactive session we will look at simple ways of bringing more ease into our everyday movements, whether in exercise or in ordinary everyday activities. The focus of the Alexander Technique is on the principles we need to follow in order to bring optimal coordination to all the activities of daily life – a skill which most people have lost since childhood with the development of ingrained tension patterns which limit freedom and interfere with free breathing and postural integrity.
