Alexander Technique

A re-education of the use of the self rather than a therapy in the strict sense, the Alexander Technique rests on primary control: the dynamic relationship between the head, the neck and the back that organizes the coordination of the whole body. By deprogramming habitual compensations, it aims for a right tonus and a living alignment. It is indicated in chronic back and neck pain.

This therapy is covered in detail (principles, indications, protocol, level of evidence) in Volume 4 of the Mémento des Psychothérapies. See the volume.
