After all, many people get back ache from sitting many hours at work. In these discussions, however, there is no attention given to <em>how<\/em> we sit. The Alexander Technique is concerned with <em>how<\/em> we perform an activity, whether sitting, standing, walking or any other activity. This is not about posture as such \u2013 there is no \u2018sit up straight\u2019 in the Alexander Technique \u2013 but about how we use our musculature during sitting.

A better sitting position comes about indirectly, as a byproduct of becoming aware of how we do things (more accurately: \u2018using ourselves\u2019) and how to do them more efficiently.
