When I was recommended to attend Alexander’s classes I didn’t know what it was about. No one knew how to explain to me what the technique consisted of or how the classes were developed. I must confess that at first I was somewhat reticent because I had no idea what I was going to face. At the beginning of the classes I immediately understood why no one could explain it to me. The classes must be experienced by oneself, it is impossible to describe in words what you do or feel in the class. I went to classes regularly for 3 years and I would have continued going if my great teacher hadn’t not gone to Brazil. I had a radiotherapy treatment which developed a ‘femoral head necrosis’ in my right leg. I couldn’t walk properly, I limped, my leg was stiff and I was in terrible pain. Little by little with Alexander TechniqueI learnt to correct my posture, my way of walking, to lose my fear of moving my leg without it hurting. Later I managed to make movements with my leg that I had never imagined I would be able to do. I learned to use the mind to help with the connection of the muscles of the body. Even today I continue applying the knowledge I have learned, in order to have a better well-being in moments of stiffness or pain. Elizabeth gave me all the tools to learn to use my mind and thus know and be able to work with my body. Alexander’s classes helped me have a better quality of life. At the same time we interspersed sessions of Craniosacral Therapy, which was wonderful for me. I have suffered from strain migraines since I was 19 years old. Today I am 54. Thanks to osteopathy, my headaches were relieved, I was able to reduce the medication I was taking and even stopped taking it. It was a miracle to be able to work and live without headaches. In my personal experience, these two techniques changed my life for the better, not only personally but also at work.
