Is this like a massage?
The Alexander Technique is not a series of treatments or exercise. Rather, it is a way to do things. It is a skill that you can learn to use at any time and with any activity. Whether you are sitting at your desk, exercising or performing household chores, the Alexander Technique can help you do these things more efficiently with less chance of injury.

In a lesson, I will give you verbal instruction and gentle hands-on guidance while we do familiar everyday activities, such as sitting, standing, and walking. My words and hands will heighten your awareness to various unconscious habits you may have and suggest a more efficient way of moving. You will learn how to direct your thinking to reduce unnecessary tension and improve your overall coordination.
I recommend that my students start by taking ten lessons on a weekly basis. With this base, you should start to see improvements and you should have the ability to apply the principles to activities and situations that arise during the week. Often people feel that they want to continue on longer to fine-tune their coordination, keep the ideas fresh and get on-going support. Many people start out trying to resolve one issue, only to discover that there are multiple uses for the Alexander Technique and deeper mind-body connections to be made.
