What are the benefits of the Alexander Technique?

Mental health:

As your posture and movement style improve, you look and feel better. As your breathing capacity expands, you have a greater resource of energy. Physicians recommend the Alexander Technique to lessen the depression and anxiety associated with chronic conditions. Psychotherapists also may refer their patients to Alexander Technique teachers. While you unravel muscular tensions, you may perceive an emotional link to your physical symptoms. Study of the Alexander Technique can help release emotions, provoke deeper understanding of the self, and it can complement psychotherapy.
