"The Alexander Technique makes a real difference to my often tense and busy life. Its thoughtful approach has made me calmer, improved my concentration and given me a clearer sense of my own well being."

Joan Bakewell

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
