Alexander Technique
(personal impressions) | | |
 6 months,
10 lessons
After 6 months and around 10 lessons my pains had left me!
The pains I had carried with me since I was a child, which at age 19 had begun to include intensive
attacks which were stronger
then any pain killers (so I learned to avoid pain killers and reserve them only for extreme cases),
which at around age 30 or
sometime before had become permanent, were finally lost!
I no longer started every day in pain.
I actually never had pains except if I did extra efforts like carrying something and it disappeared
soon afterwards.
I still had difficulty walking much more than 10 minutes but that I had learned from doctors it was
"normal" and to be expected from
someone "in my condition".
Sometimes (f.i. Expo 98 in Lisbon) I could actually walk for one or two hours, before I rest myself
(but still with some effort, even if
no longer in real pain).
===
Some years later, and one year after I started my training as Alexander Technique Teacher, I walked
for 3 hours in a natural park,
going up and down and covering 7,5 Km with a single stop half-way of less then 5 minutes and enjoying
every minute of the
afternoon.
