The reason as to why so many people are stressed out these days is simply because the pacing of life is becoming so much faster and people tend to neglect relaxing. It is for this reason that many people would seek arts such as light stretching, meditation, or even yoga to help themselves relax. Now one of the best methods that can be used in order to take away stress would be 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.
Now the main belief of people who teach this method is that the muscles of the body tend to develop habitual movements. It is because of these movements that the muscles would tighten. Of course because of muscle tightening that one would feel pain.
Now if one would enroll in one of these classes, he will first be assessed by the teacher. The teacher has to first see the condition of his students in order to let them do some exercises. Of course the teachers would be advising their students to come in comfortable clothes so that they can be able to relax during their exercises.
Now just so one would know, this is not a painful exercise and is not at all strenuous to the body. In fact, it is actually quite relaxing as it would only involve short and relaxing movements that one would be doing in his everyday life. This is actually unlike any other type of exercise wherein one would have to make a lot of movements and where he would have to sweat a lot.
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.
