Workshop Back Health Day 2024
Back health with the Alexander Technique
Introductory workshop in German, everybody welcome.
Our back health is influenced by many factors. The basis for the well-being of the back lies in the many everyday and constantly recurring demands such as sitting, standing, walking, etc., which either continuously strengthen the back in a beneficial way or continuously strain it in a harmful way. With the Alexander Technique, we can learn to deal with the everyday demands on the back in a way that is beneficial to our back health.
One cause of back pain can be harmful patterns of movement and posture that we have acquired over the years and that we unconsciously continue to practise, for example in our daily sitting. These patterns are habitual and can restrict our coordination, mobility and enjoyment of movement, or even cause pain. We often use more tension and effort than necessary in our everyday activities, and therefore may suffer from avoidable strain and pain – or are well on the way to doing so.
In the workshop, I would like to begin to open participants’ eyes to such patterns and awaken their curiosity about how they can take more responsibility for their own patterns. In Alexander Technique lessons we learn (usually in a series of individual lessons) to recognise our postures, movements and reactions to the stresses and strains of everyday life and, if necessary, how to change them. Over time, we can develop a smoother interplay of the entire musculoskeletal system and increase our self-efficacy. The Alexander Technique is not a treatment, but something you learn to apply yourself. You don’t need any special equipment and there are no exercises – everyday life is the exercise!
In this workshop, we will get to know some basic principles of the Technique in theory and practice. We will look at everyday movements and, above all, get to know a way of sitting that is beneficial for your back health.
