Learning to Live with Stressful Situations, yet reverse the Damaging Effects of Stress!

Stress, tension, uptight, hassled, modern words? Modern disease...or is it? Part of the natural system of living, stress if allowed to exist chronically in the body will have ill effects. Study shows that 90% of all illness is stress-related. The physical ailments below may well be directly related to stress.

Chronic fatigue, anger, self-criticism, irritability, feelings of helplessness and depression can lead to:

• Back, neck and shoulder pain,
• Sleeplessness,
• Shortness of breath,
• Increased degree of risk taking,
• Muscle tension anywhere - which may eventually become arthritis.

While exercise and massage have a soothing effect on stress, the Alexander Technique addresses the fundamental causes of this debilitation.

During chronic stress, there is a build up in the body of excess hormone which tightens the muscle fibres and this becomes an unconscious and habitual response to all stimulus. Learning the Technique gives an understanding and knowledge to the conscious mind to re-activate the release of the muscles and the bony structure. Perfect order is once more restored.
