I was always back pain, as a tight muscle around my shoulder blade. It was also, after I repeated the treatment with an osteopath.

I decided to try the Alexander Technique. The lessons are strange and fascinating! My teacher gave me this practice, the level to sit on a chair and standing. It will soon notice how my body and all the wasted effort that I should use. I noticed that my habit was to extend my buttocks and lean forward as I sat down, and when I got up, I would use the muscles of my legs too soon.

The most important principle that I discovered the intention to extend “free my neck” area by the idea of ​​my spine forward and up, so my return would be “to extend and expand “. If space and balance, it is to get up and sit down so easily. My throat is free and balanced my heavy head right on my spine.

The second part of the lesson I was lying on the floor with his head supported by a few pounds and my knees, while the teacher moved my body in different directions. I found it very enjoyable. I was to see how I could relax my arms and allow them to moved.The teacher led me gently to release the tension kept me absorbed. I understand that the teacher does my body go to alternative options, in my standard repertoire.

Here’s the thing, and perhaps the highlight. Alexander Technique is a powerful technique. My body is here! my mind, without having to work. Now six months on the principles corrugated into my life. I have found that extended to “not efforting” my body, or sitting in my “non efforting” in the rest of my life! Side effects surprised me. I stopped impulsively. I stopped eating junk food. Now I can sit comfortably, back straight, and there is much more convenient to slouching.

I appreciate now how to use the body of -. Where are the “hinges” are and where they are not, so I do not want my back leaning on the shoulder blades down now I bow to move with balance and less energy my back . The pain is gone.

Alexander Technique lessons are a great way of self-care, and learning new habits and have the time, “efforting!” You might find that as well as obtaining relief from the symptoms that you came with, you will benefit surprising occur in other areas of your life, how their principles.
