My Story:
I used to ache every day at work.
I'd try to sit up straight and have good
posture while working at the computer but was exhausted by the effort.
I'd eventually find myself trying way too hard and collapse in a slump. Then I'd try again and again. (Sound familiar?)
My neck, back and shoulders really didn't like this and cried out with
tension and pain during the day.
And to make matters worse, this pattern evolved into a
repetitive strain injury. My fingertips even started to go numb and tingly.
When I learned the Alexander Technique I was able to
turn my life around.
I learned how to sit comfortably (and much, much more) and as a result
my chronic tension and pain is gone!
I was so thrilled with what I learned that I decided to become an instructor.
I now teach people how do to this for themselves whether at the computer, while playing their instrument, or engaging in sports or just daily life.
Trust me. All hope is not lost.
There is a way out of pain.
