Spine-Smart

Daniel Hearn, although certified as an Alexander Technique International (ATI) teacher, teaches a hands off version called the Initial Alexander Technique. Students learn to use self-observation (usually film) and movement education to see and correct mis-usages of the body. These misusages contribute to problems of posture, pain, injury, fatigue, or underperformance in acts requiring skillful coordination. To the extent that they are caused by misuse of the body, the student is enabled to recover from and prevent the recurrence of these problems.
