Anna Magyari Beck teacher: Alexanderteknik

is the application of the discoveries of F. M. Alexander to human functioning by the repeated use of the conscious mind to alter the manner in which one uses their organism to move in the world. What distinguishes it from other methods is its emphasis on changing the habitual movements we make dozens or even hundreds of times a day. These changes are caused by consciously altering the use of the physical structures and mechanisms that control our movement. By changing how the controls are used the subsequent movement is also altered.
With the Alexander Technique a person learns to change the thinking and control which results in a changed use of the muscles and nervous system. One then goes throughout daily life with the new use pattern and, over time, this will change the balance of strength in the muscles so that the stabilizing muscles work in proper order and timing with movement muscles.
The Alexander Technique primarily emphasizes the development of nervous system control to change patterns of muscle use and strength balance. The actual strengthening of weak support muscles comes secondarily, by doing daily activities differently over time.
