The Alexander Technique was developed by an Australian actor, F. Matthias lexander, to improve the way the body is used by treating mind and body as a whole. Long popular with actors and dancers because of the stamina, flexibility and relaxation it offers, physiotherapists and doctors are now recommending it to help stress-related movement and posture disorders. It provides a complete programme of procedures to follow for daily activities and sports, enabling the reader to follow the technique without having to attend classes.
