What is it and how can it help me?
The Alexander Technique is an educational method that offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to improve their physical and mental well-being. Developed by F. Matthias Alexander, this technique focuses on improving posture, movement coordination, and overall body awareness. By addressing habits of tension and inefficient movement, the Alexander Technique helps individuals discover a more balanced and efficient use of their bodies.Relieve your back pain
Malcolm uses the Alexander Technique to identify postural and movement patterns that may be contributing to your pain. Using both verbal and hands-on guidance, he will then show you new ways of moving and of being that can help release you from that pain.
Better Posture
You may have a suspicion that your posture is less than you feel it should be: that finish line picture, your image in the mirror…all adding up to strain and pain. Plus you look 5 kgs heavier and 10 years older. Malcolm can show you how to improve your posture, reduce pain and strain and help you look slimmer and younger.
Improve Performance
Great performance, in any field often requires us to “get out of the way and let it happen.” Unconscious habits of both mind and body can make this flow state difficult, if not impossible to attain with any reliability. Alexander lessons with Malcolm help performers learn to recognize and eliminate the unnecessary tension that stops them from achieving their potential.
Move with Ease
How easily you move, stand, sit and bend is a great barometer of how efficiently you are using your body. Lessons in Alexander Technique with Malcolm can teach you how to move with greater ease, coordination, and control. This will help you conserve energy, avoid injury, and just get more done.
Use Daily:
One of the significant advantages of the Alexander Technique is its practicality and applicability to everyday life. The principles and skills learned can be integrated into daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, cooking and cleaning, and working at a desk. By incorporating the Alexander Technique into daily routines, individuals can continually improve their posture, movement, and overall well-being.
