Many of my students suffer from back, neck, shoulder pain, TMJ, and
repetitive strain injury. I work closely with physical, occupational
and speech therapists, as well as acupuncturists, chiropractors and
other health care professionals to provide balanced care. The Alexander
Technique complements these modalities in picking up where treatment
leaves off — in addressing how to use the body correctly in the
tasks of daily living.
Often, harmful postural and movement patterns are the root of pain
in injuries that develop over time. An area becomes weakened by poor
alignment and then one wrong movement triggers the pain cycle. For people
who've had accidents, the Alexander Technique helps release tension
patterns that develop around protecting an injured area and compensating
for the weakness.
