"You are not here to do exercises or to learn to do something right, but to get able to meet a stimulus that always puts you wrong and to learn to deal with it."

F.M. Alexander
Founder of the Alexander Technique

How can it help me?

The Alexander Technique can be learned by anybody who wants to improve their general well-being and functioning. It can also help a wide range of problems such as:

  • Repetitive strain injury
  • Stuttering
  • Stress
  • Sports injuries
  • Back and neck pain
  • Arthritis
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Breathing difficulties

Many music colleges and drama schools, such as the Royal College of Music, Guildford School of Acting and RADA, now have teachers to work with the students. Actors and musicians can benefit greatly from the Technique as it can:

  • Improve breathing
  • Help to identify and undo harmful habits whilst playing an instrument
  • Help with stage fright
  • Give a feeling of confidence and being grounded
  • Improve the use of the voice in singing or speaking
