Grant Ragsdale has been teaching the Alexander Technique in Leeds and Hebden Bridge - West Yorkshire - for sixteen years. He is a member of STAT - The Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique.
The Alexander Technique has been found to be beneficial for such problems as back pain, stiff shoulders, stiff neck, repetitive strain injury ( rsi ), tension, poor posture, anxiety, backache, arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, stress, eyestrain, stiffness and poor balance.
The Alexander Technique is popular with practitioners of such activities as dance, music, singing, acting, riding, swimming, golf and tennis - in fact, any activity where improved co-ordination is helpful.
The Alexander Technique was first developed by F.M.Alexander, who was born in Tasmania in 1869 and who died in London in 1955. He used it first to cure himself of a habit of throwing his head back when reciting in public.
