- In this video, I'm going to guide you through a simple Alexander Technique exercise which can help you to reset your arms, shoulders, neck & back
It's a great way to recover from too much desk work or playing musical instruments.
The Alexander Technique helps you to improve your awareness of your whole self and to break poor habits in movements and postures.
This Alexander Technique exercise uses a simple guided movement but applies Alexander Technique Directions to help you find more release and balance in your body. Using this simple method, you can break the habits that cause tension in your arms, shoulders, neck and back.

Here's a quick, simple Alexander Technique Exercise which always makes me feel good! Hope it works for you too!
I like your comment not to tighten muscles to try to put yourself in a certain posture. This was very helpful.
Thanks! Glad to know you found it helpful!
amazingly simple but effective exercise..Love the way you explain everything . I have been taking lessons for the past year but you add a very effective simpleness to your explanation . thanks
Thanks so much for your kind comments!
Thanks.
You're very welcome!
One femur released which gave lots of space in pelvis in addition to upper body benefits though will need to do more for scap and neck release. Thank you!
Great! Glad you found it useful!
@@MovementandPosture am looking forward to your online class. Wondering about AT teacher training. Recommendations?
Great! Hope you enjoy the online course! AT teacher training is a wonderful way to spend 3 years of your life. Each of the training schools I've visited around the world are great places. I would recommend visiting a few of you were thinking of training. The one in Manchester, UK that I trained at is fantastic and I help to train the new generation of teachers there! www.manchesteralexandertraining.com/
Hi Pete, thanks so much for the videos! I was wondering if you could offer an exercise to help me drop my shoulders which I always carry very high. I did a partner exercise in a workshop a few weeks ago where I let the weight of my elbow and hand be taken by partner. Suddenly I felt a click, click, click and that particular shoulder dropped to where it should be. I asked the workshop leader if she could recommend an exercise I could do on my own. She said I could do the same thing in a chair with arms. I've been trying this every day and I also tried your exercise, but have not been able to drop my shoulders again. Any suggestions?
Hi Julie, apologies for the delay in replying. I'm really glad that you had that experience with your shoulders. It's such a great feeling when you experience that kind of tension releasing! There are loads of 'exercises' which might bring you to the ability to release them again. I'll try to make a video about that specific example she mentioned using a chair but until then, I'd have a go at some of the other arm related videos on this channel. The ones that I usually find most useful are:

and

Hope they help!
Hi, I didn't once and felt something running bottom-up just above my right hand ankle into my legs
That sounds unexpected. Maybe some tension in your legs? You could try one of the leg-focussed videos on the channel if it keeps happening.
Hello, Pete, how would you go about unlocking the knees? Won't that just collapse your legs?
Hi! This is one that a lot of people find tricky. Many people lock their knees with the kneecap pulled onto the knee joint. When I talk about unlocking the knees, it's finding a point where the joint is stable but the kneecap is released from the joint.
It can be useful to think of the knee having 3 states, 1) Where the knee is bending and not straight
2) Where the knee is straight but not locked and
3) Where the knee is straight but held stiffly
When your knees are unlocked, it means that you are allowing the weight of your body to pass freely down through the legs and the knee is ready to move.
Hope that makes sense!
@@MovementandPosture It's tricky for sure. Maybe you can circle back to the topic in a future video! Thanks for the reply! I'm catching up on all of your videos as we speak.
@@normie6173 Thanks! I'll definitely keep tackling the knees as they are such a source of confusion for people. I used to really struggle with them myself but they behave themselves pretty well these days!
Is the AT ever used for trauma, chronic illness?
Many people use AT to help them manage, recover from or improve the symptoms of a huge range of issues. There has been some good research into back pain, neck pain and other conditions.
As AT works by teaching you to change your habits, many people find it makes them calmer, less physically and mentally stressed, movements, posture and breathing improves.
AT also works well with other disciplines such as physio or OT therapy making exercises safer and more effective.
It's a huge topic! If you have any specific questions, feel free to message me or get in touch with your local teacher.
