BACK
PROBLEMS
The discomfort may have started as a result of an accident such as whiplash or a slipped disc. These can heal but the way that we then use the back and also how we react to the pain itself will either encourage or hinder this healing. Unnecessary tension in the muscles may be felt as pain and puts pressure on the spine and the discs which leads to further problems, such a sciatica. When we learn to use the body in an easy balanced way and react without the habitual tensing we find the symptoms tend to disappear and any further injury is prevented. With this then comes a greater feeling of control and responsibility for ones own well-being. "Doing
the Alexander Technique I feel more grounded and in control. And the
back pain is certainly improving."

The majority of
people come to see me as a result of back and neck pain. Generally they
will have seen their GP and often a physiotherapist, osteopath or chiropractor,
and yet they find the discomfort returning. This is very often due to
the way that they are using themselves. Standing or sitting in an uncoordinated
way:
