Do you sometimes wake up with a back so painful you can’t even get dressed?

Recognise this scenario? This is what happens when you go for treatment for your bad back.

Where will it all end?

Remember the first time it happened? After a long struggle you finally managed to get your clothes on. You had to lift your legs with your hands to get into the car. When you got into work, keeping going was tough. When you got back home all you could do was collapse on your bed and groan.

Still groaning, you went to the chiropractor and she sorted you out

…until the next time.

Was the next time easier? Probably not. Maybe you didn’t even make it into work, you had to wait for the chiropractor’s next appointment and crawl into her office. Again, she fixed it. Wonderful woman. What would you do without her?

…until the next time.

How long did it take to go wrong again? Was it not so bad this time? I don’t think so.

Where will it all end?

Losing your job? Invalidity? It doesn’t bear thinking about. If only there were a way to sort the problem for good.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could discover how to get your back better than it was before it went wrong? Perfect if you could then rely on it to stay better.

What doesn’t work

Right now, your back never really gets better because you always address the problem in the same ineffective way.

Always address a problem in the same ineffective way and you’ll always get the same disappointing results. On the other hand, if you find out how to address your problem effectively, you can make your back get better than it’s ever been since you were a child.

There are three steps.

The three steps that do work

• The first step is to accept that what you’re doing now is what’s causing your back to misbehave.
• The second step is to find out what you’re doing wrong.
• The third step is to learn how to stop doing it.

Have you taken the first step yet? If not, go back and re-read the first step. If you have doubts about that, go to the form at the bottom of the page and tell me why. I’ll help you resolve those doubts for free. If you’ve taken that first step, you can continue to the second and third steps.

The Alexander Technique provides both the second and the third steps. For example, in step two, the Alexander Technique might show you that your effort to stay upright is actually throwing you off balance and that, rather than find your true balance, you’re then stiffening to avoid falling over.

Whatever you discovered in step two, in step three your Alexander Technique teacher shows you how to put it right. You learn a better way to approach your problem: a way that actually works. You stop having to move carefully to save your back. At last, you become able to do whatever you want without getting back trouble.

If you go through these three steps, you can do whatever you want without fear of damaging yourself. That’s because the three steps teach you how to stop using your bad old way of doing things. You can finally leave your problem behind.

But there’s a catch

And the catch? While you’re learning how to stop using your bad old way of doing things, you’ll often think and feel that your new way is wrong. That feeling will make you keep going back to the old way, to the way you know and are familiar with.

How do we deal with this catch?

Good Alexander teachers know all about this catch. They constantly steer you back in the right direction. Often, though, it’s really difficult to see what it is you’re thinking — what’s holding you back, stuck with doing the wrong thing. It can take a long time to get it and sometimes people never really do get it.

Not getting it, they never make the fundamental shift needed to get fully better.
