When speaking of musculoskeletal problems and pain, the damage has been done are five of the most depressing, disheartening, unintentionally cruel and very often untrue words a health professional can say...This is what a doctor recently told one of my new students, who was trying the Alexander Technique for pain..as an Alexander Technique teacher in NYC, part of my job is to help people reverse or prevent damage, and I see back pain, neck pain etc. minimized and eliminated all the time, every day. People get better, and better, and better. The power of the human body (and mind, and spirit) to rejuvenate is well known. People start the healing process the minute they stop hurting themselves. The Alexander Technique teaches you how to stop the pain. The Alexander Technique teaches you how to stop the damage, so you can start getting better...
