Health

Many people with health problems seek help from the Alexander Technique. This is not understood as therapy but as an educational system. So there is something to learn, namely, the way how to deal with ourselves skilfully (“Use of the Self”). The use of the self affects our functioning and thus our health.
The Alexander Technique does not diagnose and does not respond directly to ailment symptoms. A symptom is an expression of the whole body. Therefore, the Alexander Technique "treats" no symptoms, but attempts to positively influence the dynamics of the whole psycho-physical self. The Alexander Technique is thus an expression of a healthy lifestyle.
