After Manipulation
After manipulation your physio, osteopath or chiropractor may recommend the Alexander Technique. By analysing the way you move and re-training your body to move in a more efficient way, the harmful habits that were the underlying cause can be reduced which reduces the risk of a relapse.

Tension
Applying the Alexander Technique reduces physical and emotional tension, alleviating any condition where excessive muscular effort or tension is a factor, e.g. headaches, some cases of migraine and some breathing problems.

Musicians and Actors
Both instrumentalists and singers can improve their performance. Alexander himself devised the technique to help his voice when acting. Many famous performers use the technique.
