Back Pain and Poor Posture
The most common reasons why people come for Alexander Technique lessons are back pain and the perception of poor posture. Back pain may be caused by injury or, more commonly, as a result of damaging habits such as slumping in front of a computer or TV for years on end. Many people are aware of their poor posture or have been told about it. When I teach the Alexander Technique here in Oxford I work with you to get at the fundamental causes of so much back pain and poor posture, including persistent slumping, and teach you how to prevent those ongoing causes and mitigate the pain and excessive tension that so often goes with back pain and unsatisfactory posture.
In August 2008 the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published the findings of a research study into the effects of a series of lessons in the Alexander Technique for sufferers of chronic back pain. The study found significant evidence for lessons in the Alexander Technique contributing to a reduction of back pain for many of the individuals within the research control group. For further details on this study have a look at the 'Back Pain Study' page on the 'Benefits of AT' button above.
