The Alexander Method® Head, Neck & Back Course

You will learn how to address the most common complaints experienced within the confines of the axial skeleton. Learning the interconnectedness of these parts of our bodies can help provide greater relief from pain, tension, and stiffness in the head, neck, back, and shoulders that are most commonly experienced.

You will learn:

• Reverse Spinal Flush technique that targets pain and tension along the spine, stimulates nerve conductivity affecting the central nervous system, and assists in the movement of cerebral spinal fluid essential for nourishing the spine and brain while removing harmful debris and toxins
• Sacrum Release technique to alleviate stiffness, tension, and pain of the lower back, as well as increase blood flow to the pelvic region to relax the organs within this area
• Cranial Release technique to stimulate movement of the cranial sutures to release restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves relieving a wide variety of issues

This self-paced course includes a 43-page downloadable manual that you can reference as you go through each information packed module.
