Stress is very evident in the world today because of the very fast paced lifestyle that each and every human being has to live with. This stressful lifestyle is actually one of the factors that would contribute to people having more stress and having some physical problems because of it. Now one of the best ways that people were able to confront these stressors was through the alexander technique.
Now the creator of this very famous method is none other than Frederick Matthias Alexander who is an actor from Australia. He was a patient of chronic laryngitis which affected his acting and was something that the doctors could not cure at that time. By a sheer stroke of luck, he discovered that the cause of the problem was tension in his neck and body and he was able to create a method to let go of that tension.
Teachers of this method believe that the body makes habitual movements all the time. Because of these movements, the muscles have the tendency to tighten. It is because of this kind of tightening that one feels pain.
Now on the first day of classes, one will first have to be assessed by the teacher in charge. The instructor will first see the body condition of the students before allowing them to do the exercises. From there, they will be starting the exercises and the students will be learning all about loosening the muscles altogether.
One thing to take note of when starting out is that this is definitely not a painful nor is it a strenuous type of exercise. It is in fact, the opposite of a strenuous workout as this method aims to take away the tension from all parts of the body instead of adding tension which is what strenuous workouts would do in order for one to gain muscle. This is a rather slow set of exercises wherein one does not need to push himself so much.
Now during the first few meetings of the class, one will usually be doing some exercises related to everyday movements like walking, running, or even sitting down. From there, the teachers will be checking how they do it to see if there are parts in the body that are tightening. From there, the teacher will be able to advise the students on what they should do about those tightened body parts.
Now there are a lot of benefits that one can actually gain from these types of exercises is of course less body pains. One will be relieved of body pains like backaches and even neck aches as these kinds of exercises are wonderful for these kinds of problems. Of course stress will also be taken away from the body which means that mentally, one can also be cured.
So basically those are some things one will be learning in these classes. Schools that teach this technique have spread very far in the United States over time. In fact, a place with a lot of schools is none other than NYC or New York City.
