The premise behind the Alexander Technique’s way of healing back pain or neck pain is not unique, though the method is. The Alexander Technique helps the sufferer stop causing his/her pain, getting to the root of the problem.
If you cut yourself and keep the wound clean, the body will heal itself. If you keep cutting yourself in the same place, the wound can’t heal.
If you break your arm, the doctor will put your arm in a cast. If you remove the cast and continue using your arm, it can’t heal. The cast, or the bandage, isn’t doing the healing. The body is doing the healing.
If one is experiencing back or neck pain, the cause may be the habitual tightening of back and neck muscles, often while at the computer, (and perhaps right now.) One may be unwittingly compressing the spine and constricting nerve or blood flow by collapsing, gripping, or clenching, 24-7. If you continually compress your spine, your body will not have a chance to heal.
The Alexander Technique doesn’t heal anything; the body does the healing, if you let it. The Alexander Technique lets the healing happen.
Again and again it shows itself to be the most effective way to solve neck pain, back pain, or posture problems permanently. And the side effects are all good.
The Alexander Technique lets the healing begin.
