What problems and conditions can the Alexander Technique help me with?

Postural problems

Many people develop unhealthy posture and movement habits that become deep-seated patterns of strain. These habits are typically expressed by tight back and neck muscles and collapsed stature. With the hands-on guidance of a trained Alexander Technique teacher, you learn to elicit the primary control — an easy, dynamic relationship between the head and spine. You gain access to the body's elegant power steering. You learn that finding poise can help to ease discomfort and streamline movement. With greater fluidity and stability, you gain confidence and a more positive self-image.

You also realize that long rehearsals or sitting long hours at a desk in front of a computer could be much more enjoyable--if you learn to pay attention to your needs as soon as you become aware of them, rather than when you are already feeling discomfort or pain.
