Synopsis Back pain is a serious concern for many. Proper, natural alignments in sitting, standing, and lifting can be an important step in alleviating suffering. BACK TROUBLE is written by an Alexander Technique teacher who offers straightforward advice about how to relieve pain and decrease the risk of future problems. The Alexander Technique (AT) is a systematic approach for increasing mobility and balance, and for developing mind/body coordination by recognizing bad posture habits that may be an unconscious reaction to emotional or mental conflict. For example, low self-esteem might cause slouching or rounded shoulders. This technique effectively breaks ingrained bad habits and demonstrates how to reduce strain by constantly auditing the body's movements until the process becomes second nature. While the concepts of the Alexander Technique relate to the whole body, BACK TROUBLE focuses on the back and shoulders and features simple exercises to loosen muscles, regain movement, and insure perfect alignment.
