Posture |
Stress, illness and childbirth are just some of the factors that affect how we move and use our bodies throughout the day. When these movements are unknowingly repeated, poor posture comes to feel ‘normal’. Alexander Technique focuses on undoing these patterns allowing the natural and efficient body use to come through. Often we are told to pull our shoulders back and down in pursuit of what we perceive to be good posture, however, in doing this we actually cause compression of the spine. Good posture should not be an effort but rather a state of ease and freedom from which movement is possible at any moment rather than a rigid pose which can result in pain, lack of comfort and coordination. |
