The Alexander Technique can aid pregnant women
The Alexander Technique, a revolutionary self support system, is beneficial to everyone who suffers from all sorts of health problems such as chronic back pain, postural problems and headaches. The technique, which is taught by qualified teachers such as Carla Radford of Alexander for Hornchurch (http://www.alexanderforhornchurch.co.uk), has also proven to be beneficial to expectant mothers before, during and after pregnancy.
The Alexander Technique is a simple and practical method for improving balance and coordination. During pregnancy women can experience back pain, neck pain and numbness in the hands. By adopting the principles of the Alexander Technique pregnant women can learn how to undo muscular tension and relieve pain and discomfort that is common in pregnancies.
Alexander Technique teacher Carla Radford believes all women should adopt the principles of the Alexander Technique to have a comfortable and manageable pregnancy. She says: “During pregnancy a woman’s body undergoes some drastic changes. Back ache and breathlessness are common problems that can be eased by following the simple principles of the Alexander Technique. The technique can help women deal with the physical and mental challenges associated with pregnancy and childbirth. It is vital that women learn how to bend, sit and lie down in a comfortable and safe manner when pregnant, all of which can be taught by an experienced teacher.”
Alexander for Hornchurch can teach pregnant women how to deal with pregnancy, including preparing women for labour by teaching her how to sit comfortably and avoid tensing up during painful contractions.
