    Hi, thanks for the T tips for standing posture. I will try these. I wanted to ask if Alexander Technique would be beneficial for a tinnitus sufferer? I know I hold tension in my neck and shoulders like a lot of people do, also this gets much worse when I'm anxious and can even make my neck muscles twitch and shake involuntarily. Any advice would be much appreciated... thank you

    • @MovementandPosture
      @MovementandPosture 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      As a professional musician, I'm no stranger to tinnitus. When I was younger, I suffered with it a lot, especially after a loud gig. I found Alexander Technique really helpful in reducing the symptoms to the point where I only have very low level tinnitus these days. I would definitely recommend you to work on your tinnitus using the technique. Hope it helps!

    Is it normal to feel numbness from my elbows on the ground? I think it’s compressing my ulnar nerve 😅

    • @MovementandPosture
      @MovementandPosture 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That doesn't sound ideal! It could be that the floor is a bit hard, a bit more padding might help. I would also try adjusting the angle of the elbows by resting your hands on different bits of your body to see whether that makes any difference. If that doesn't help, it could be a lack of flexibility in your shoulders so you could try resting each elbow on something to raise them up and reduce the stretch. If none of that works, leave another comment and I'll have another think! 🙂

    @GiovanniCarmosino-u4y 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I did a lot of Alexander as part of my drama training, but haven't actively kept it up between jobs. I've developed excruciating pain in my arm and it's been suggested that this is originating in my neck. In order to unpinch the nerve a physio suggested I do semi supine work. I just followed your guide. Lying down aggravates the pain in my arm quite dramatically. Should I persist or could I be making it worse?

    Hi Pete - off topic but back related - I've come across some videos online that say the ideal posture of the back should be straight. Is that true? In the lower back, isn't the curve natural to keep? Thanks!

    • @MovementandPosture
      @MovementandPosture 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You want your back to be a neutral position. This means allowing your cervical, thoracic and lumbar curves to be in their natural state which definitely isn't straight. The amount of spinal curve varies in each of us. The best way to get an idea of how your back is in a neutral state is to practice constructive rest. There are a few videos on this channel about that. Hope that makes sense!

  • @robertpearson6619

    This one is a lot like Feldenkrais lessons. Is there documentation that this goes back before Moshe started teaching?

    • @MovementandPosture
      @MovementandPosture 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, Moshe Feldenkrais studied with FM Alexander. I think in the end they argued but the influence of Alexander technique on Feldenkrais can be clearly seen. There are some fundamental differences between them though so I think its interesting to study both!

  • @juliancochran
    @juliancochran 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    RSI of hands and upper arms can also be a pinched nerve in the back nerve the scapula. Try forcefully lowering your shoulders and also stretching your elbows back behind as when waking up. This may clear the RSI of hands instantly, with the nerve signal unblocked in this way. I had massage for months which reduced it very temporarily but the RSI comes back in half a day. To solve permanently I do the above two stretches a few times each day and never had hand RSI since. During the stretch you almost feel like a river being released through the harms - amazing feeling.
