Alexander Technique

---

The Alexander Technique of massage therapy is sort of a re-education in movement for both the patient and the massage therapist. What the Alexander Technique does is teaches the patient to rid their body of harmful tension by relearning natural ways to sit, stand and move in order to reduce physical stress on the body. The Alexander also teaches the massage therapist to make use of their body during therapy so that giving massage is less painful on them.

The Alexander Technique was named for Frederick Matthias Alexander, the massage therapist who created and first used this method during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Alexander created his massage method in order to teach clients and therapists to think consciously about the movements they make to perform everyday activities.
