Psycho-physical Education

I've been studying and teaching the FM Alexander Technique for 30 years. As I got further into psychology and neurology in preparing for Board Examination as a Chiropractor, I realized that these fields shed little light on why Alexander's Technique works. There are certainly easy concepts like inhibitory control and reflexes talked about in neurology, and there are simple ideas like volition and making different choices that get talked about in some branches of psychology. But you have to remember that Alexander developed this before any of these concepts were formulated. He discovered a practical working of the self that can be described only partially by other disciplines such as zoology, ethology, psychology, neurology.If you are ready to explore the work that inspired many of the sciences, contact us at Alexander Technique in Rockford, IL. 815-670-0245
