Restoring a healthy posture is not only a physical process but a mental one as well. When a postural imbalance occurs, two things seem to happen.
Some muscles begin to overstrain, while others don't do enough.
Over time, your brain takes this new information and starts to process it as normal.
What's worse, it begins to factor this new framework into all of its actions.
The Alexander Technique teaches a thinking process that sneaks past the mind's faulty body schema to gradually improve posture and performance in all activities.
The Alexander Technique has been scientifically tested to significantly improve postural tone, relieve back pain and disability, manage Parkinson's symptoms and so much more.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of working with a violinist who has been dealing with chronic back issues, which made playing the violin impossible.
As we worked together on the violin, she reported a feeling of tension and lack of control when playing the low G string in the left hand.
Two things became obvious the minute she started to play. She wanted to tilt and compress her torso and floating ribs towards her left hand and she wanted to squeeze her chin down onto the shoulder rest.
I asked her to take a moment to give up the thought of playing the violin and to recognize the space from her hands to her head and the space between her right and left elbows, and just give permission to do less in that space.
Immediately there was a shift in her left arm as the upper arm became noticeably less tense and connect more fluently into the back.
She reported feeling a greater sense of control with a richer and fuller tone.
She also reported that while it felt more in control, it also brought a sense of unease, moving in such a foreign and radical way.
And perhaps that's the tradeoff when journeying toward a new, more efficient, and healthier form of movement. You get to experience greater freedom and ease in your whole body, which translates to better performance, but you don't get to necessarily be comfortable working in this unknown territory.
This mental thought of giving up direct control of an action to make room for the thought of doing less in space we call Inhibition and Direction in the Alexander Technique. It is the bedrock for creating s positive change in yourself in action.
