This is the fourth interview, in a series of interviews with students of the Alexander Technique (AT) about their experiences of learning the technique:

“It’s easy to slump. I can even do it stood up.”

“I notice slumping, I notice my neck position, I notice my feet. I am aware of the automatic patterns in everything I do: how to recognise them, get out of them and avoid them.”

Nick started playing the saxophone at the age of eight and plays in a band. Nick is also self employed in I.T. He started having Alexander Technique (AT) lessons because of:

• Shoulder pain, neck pain and pins and needles in his hand
• Tension headaches
• Chronic Fatigue syndrome (CFS) and brain fog

The main benefits he has noticed, if he pays attention and applies AT are:

• No pins and needles in his hand
• No depression
• Less tiredness and brain fog
• Rarely gets neck or back pain
• Rarely gets headaches which used to be every week & last for days, and now they might happen every 3-4 months
