Alexander Technique in Ashfield, Sydney
I have been teaching the Alexander Technique in Sydney since 2000. I am also a professional pianist, and Alexander Technique helped me return to playing after developing RSI in the 1990s.
About the technique
We all develop our own habitual ways of sitting, standing, typing at the computer. Over time we grow into a posture that reflects these habits. Eventually, we may grow into a posture which begins to affect our performance, or cause discomfort or pain.
I can teach you to change these unhelpful and probably unnoticed habits, so you can grow into a better posture with enough space for you to be comfortable and healthy.
About Bradley Newman
I was a full time pianist in the 1990s who developed arm pain, and studying the Alexander Technique helped me learn to do things differently, more efficiently – not just at the piano but in all of my activities.
This helped me return to good health – now I can (and occasionally do) play eight hours a day if needed, confident the old pain can’t return. I have learnt about some specific things I was doing that was causing the problem, and I have learnt how to not do these things. These new skills ensure the problem does not return.
