Alexander Technique
 Alexander Technique Massachusetts
An educational process with therapeutic results,
for freedom and balance in body, mind and spirit
Alana Cox

She discovered the Alexander Technique after many years of making the rounds of the medical professions searching in vain for relief from a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia and TMJ. The Alexander Technique changed her life dramatically by addressing tension patterns that led to her difficulties following an auto accident. She realized she had found a powerful tool to help herself where no one else could. She was so passionate, enthralled and enthusiastic about the technique that she committed herself to sharing and teaching the technique to others.

Alexander Technique and Fibromyalgia ~ my experience

Body and Mind

Our physical state directly affects both our mental and emotional well-being. Thought affects muscle activity; muscle activity affects thought. If our muscles are habitually over tightened our bodies and our minds become distorted, unbalanced and compressed causing all kinds of ills such as arthritis, tendonitis, Fibromyalgia, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ, sciatica, insomnia, depression and anxiety. The release of unnecessary muscular tension is vital to our well-being.

The Alexander Technique:

  • Promotes conscious awareness
  • Is educational with therapeutic effects
  • Relieves and prevents pain
  • Increases range of movement
  • Improves posture, balance, breathing and coordination
  • Reduces strain and muscular tension
  • Restores original poise
  • Improves self image
  • Coordinates body and mind

THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

Most of us after the age of 3 or 4 learn muscular tension patterns that interfere with our natural ease, balance, support and freedom of movement that we were born with. Over many years of accumulated stress, that tension can deteriorate our posture into what can border on deformity. Most tension builds up gradually and we are unlikely to be aware that it is even there at all. With the technique, you are taught how to get rid of harmful unconscious tension in the body, improving and returning the ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination that we had as children.
