ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE AND FITNESS

one

Alexander Technique and fitness More than a hundred years ago, Alexander pointed out the risks of exercising. His main concern was that if we don’t move well in our everyday activities, doing exercises may not produce lasting benefit and may cause injury. While his arguments are still valid, evidence for the potential benefits of exercising is now overwhelming. Recently, Alexander teachers such as Steven Shaw (swimming), Malcolm Balk (running and fitness), Roy Palmer (sports) and Patrick Pearson (rowing) have pioneered developments in the improvement of fitness.
