One of the most major problems in modern society - headaches! (Sitting in front of computers all the time won't help either).
Read »this article on how to relieve headaches using the Alexander Technique:
The one thing almost all headaches have in common is muscle tension. Unnecessary tension in the muscles of the neck, scalp, jaw and face can all trigger a headache. One cause of migraine headaches is thought to be a restricted supply of blood and oxygen to the brain, and this is what happens when tense muscles press on the arteries in the neck. (...)
The Alexander Technique is all about releasing unwanted stresses and strains throughout the whole body. There are no exercises or rigid rules to follow. (...)
If you are busy working, or concentrating on something, you normally don't notice that you are frowning, clenching your teeth, or holding your head in a position that is putting undue strain on your neck, until the pain of a headache tells you something is wrong. (...)
Although the Alexander Technique is mostly concerned with physical well-being, many students also find that it can lead to subtle changes in the way they think and deal with emotional stress: another major cause of headaches.
