As the Alexander Technique deals with one fundamental issue, namely the use of oneself, its benefits are felt through the whole spectrum of human activity and behavior.
Poor use of the self and long-term pain conditions are the result of long-term habits.
The Alexander Technique will help you become aware and ‘unlearn’ these habits and achieve a better perception of yourself in stillness and in action.
It is an intimate and personal journey. Different for each of us. Different even for us at different times. The benefits listed below will take a different meaning for each person and a different meaning for the same person at different moments.

F.M. Alexander sees the constructive conscious control of ourselves as a plane to be reached in a continuous process of renewed self-awareness and detachment.
At any given moment of our lives, we have the possibility to chose to stop and pause before any activity which present a difficulty and meet the next moment in a non-judgmental and opened attitude.
At any given moment we have the choice to offer to ourselves the gift of a new and promising experience, or repeat what we already now which obviously will not lead us to a different level if we need it.
