Sample Book Insights:

#1 I met with John, a middle-aged man who hoped the Alexander Technique would help him rid himself of the pain he experienced from his frozen right shoulder. His arms were pressed inward against his ribs.

#2 We often don’t know we are doing something, like tensing our neck muscles when we move our head. It is surprising how much we don’t notice about how we use our body.

#3 John’s right shoulder was lower than his left. He knew he made it worse because he pulled his right shoulder up around his ear, but he didn’t realize that it was part of his particular way of moving his body.

#4 The next time you are doing a movement, pay attention to your posture. If you have a tendency to pull your right shoulder up, try pressing it down instead. You should notice a difference in your posture.
