ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE FOR CHRONIC PAIN

WHO

PEOPLE WITH

CHRONIC PAIN

Do you suffer from chronic pain from injury or illness? Have you been searching for relief? The Alexander Technique (AT) can accelerate your road to recovery.  

 

Pain is a signal sent through the nerve fibers of the body to the brain alerting where there is injury, illness, or tension. Our reactions to pain include shortness of breath, increased heart rate, muscle contraction, postural collapse, as well as triggering the body’s fight or flight response. While these side effects deplete energy often we have little or no awareness of them. AT teaches how to use conscious thought to become aware of and change unconscious habits that contribute to discomfort, injury, and pain.
