The Alexander Technique is a responsiveness practice for identifying and developing discipline over negative physical habits caused from incorrect posture and movement. Created 100 years ago by actor F. Matthias Alexander, who cured himself of chronic laryngitis with this technique, he believed if the vertebrae were out of alignment it was due to these poorly disciplined habits. The Alexander Technique is a method of teaching the mind and body relearn functionality to improve ease and freedom of movement, balance, and coordination. The technique teaches one to use the appropriate amount of effort for a specific activity, thus giving you more energy for all your activities.
