The Alexander Technique is like taking lessons on an instrument, or an advanced driving course.
Sometimes we feel that our bodies should behave better.
Sometimes we forget that our minds are connected with our bodies.
The Alexander Technique is a self-help method. You work, ideally, one-to-one with a teacher to change habits that block effective movement and your full potential. It applies to your everyday movements, such as walking, sitting at a desk, and exercising, as well as more specialised work such as performing on stage or playing sports.
It can help with
-Back Pain
-Stress
-Pain in muscles, joints and bones
-Parkinson's Disease
-and others such as headaches, sciatica, RSI, etc...
Jessica Lee Morgan is a fully qualified and insured teacher of the Alexander Technique, a member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT), the Complementary and Natural Health Council (CNHC) and has a full Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate.
In an Alexander Technique lesson, the teacher and pupil work together to identify certain habits that can impact on mental and physical well-being. We use simple movements such as standing, sitting and lying down. Sometimes we can explore more complex movements or as you have more lessons, something specific like playing an instrument.
You will be advised to wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to remove your shoes, but won't be asked to undress. Your teacher will put their hands on you lightly to help you identify muscular tension and promote easier use of yourself. The touch is gentle and guiding rather than that used in massage or chiropractic.
Initially, a course of weekly lessons is recommended. A clinical study showed that 6 lessons effect some change in people with back pain, but 24 lessons had much longer-lasting benefits.
Just like learning any new skill, you need to take several lessons and be ready to apply what you have learned every day.
Jessica is also offering group lessons at the Practice Rooms.
