F. Matthias Alexander (1869-1955) born in Tasmania devised The Alexander Technique as he became a well-known reciter of Shakespearean monologues around the turn of the century. With persistent throat problems, which no doctor could find a cure he made a number of discoveries about the human body and how it works. He noticed that the way people use their bodies tends to be unconscious and habitual and that this in turn leads to bad habits in moving and breathing which, when repeated over a long period, are detrimental to the person's general standard of health and functioning. He also discovered that the way one thinks on a mental level is just as big a factor as movement itself when it comes down to how our body functions for us.
Alexander realised that many problems facing people today, such as lack of energy, backache and asthma, arthritis, bad posture and mental problems can be caused by constant mis-use of our bodies. When this builds up over years, it creates a general low standard of health and functioning of our whole being. It interupts the positive flow of eneregy throughout our bodies meaning we put much more effort in to everyday simple activities such as simply brushing ones teeth in the morning, or getting into or out of an automobile.
The Alexander Technique is much more than just a system of exercises or relaxation techniques. It is a way of developing your awareness and using your intelligence to enable your body to become balanced, strong and flexible. It will aid you to un learn bad habbits of movement & posture that have been engrained in you over time to ensure you have strong, but effortless movements in your life, thus reducing stress on every part of you - mentally & physically.
The Technique is not a therapy designed to 'cure' but a teaching method which offers you a means - by awareness in activity - to raise your general standard of health, body balance and co-ordination and then maintain it for the rest of your life. In this way the Technique is a "Way of Being or Living" not just exercises which are done say once a day.
