Who is the Alexander in Alexander Technique?
F.M. Alexander (1869-1955) was an actor who developed chronic laryngitis while performing. Doctors could not provide him with a solution, except the suggestion to rest as much as possible. Determined to restore the full use of his voice, he carefully watched himself while speaking and observed excess tension throughout his body. Over time he discovered principles which restored not only his voice, but his overall ease. He discovered that these same principles could be applied to a wide range of mind/body difficulties, because these principles address the musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory and respiratory systems.
Is the Alexander Technique like Yoga, chiropractic, physical therapy etc.?
Yes and no. As with some other methods, the Alexander Technique is a way to improve your functioning. However, the AT is a tool you own and use anytime, anywhere. You learn to do it yourself.
