The Alexander Technique Workbook Richard Brennan & Pio aesd Today people often accept common ailments such as backache, headache, arthritis, depression and nervous tension as being ‘normal’. We ae val may readily believe the discomfort we suffer is a natural consequence of ‘wear and tear’, and not realize that we can do something positive about it. In fact, many common ailments stem from stress and a range of muscular tensions caused by bad posture or poor body co-ordination = which can increase as we grow older. Rather than being a natural part of the ageing process, these tensions, if unchecked, can accelerate it and can develop into illness and even cause deformity. Developed at the turn of the century by f. M. Alexander, the Alexander Technique is a simple method of learning to be more aware of how we move as we go about our everyday activities. The aim is to regain the natural grace and balance of a child, and to discover easier and more efficient ways of movement thus reducing the everyday tensions which have built up during the years. In this step-by-step guide, Richard Brennan outlines the Alexander Technique and, by means of a series of simple exercises and procedures, shows how the technique can help us achieve a healthier and more balanced life.
