The diagram of the tripod on the feet is very helpful. I had been confused about how to distribute the weight. Also, thanks for explaining that it’s not about collapsing into the relaxation, but kind of floating buoyantly upwards. Super helpful. You are so good at teaching this!
I love your videos! I've had extensive AT training and these are great etudes to use with my voice students. I also use them as part of my own warm up.
Found the presentation very useful. I have lumbar spondylosis and the doctor says thaqt my posture is one of the causes of low back pain. Do you have any videos on that? I would love to see and learn from them
Thanks Sam. Sorry to hear about your back trouble. I don't have a video specifically about lumbar spondylosis but many of the ideas that I discuss on my videos will still apply to that condition. I would start with the constructive rest videos to see if they provide any relief and also have a go at some of the other guided standing, sitting, walking type ones. You are trying to catch any habits that may be affecting your condition and those may not be limited to the back area, so taking a general approach is always best. Good luck!

Hi, thanks for the T tips for standing posture. I will try these. I wanted to ask if Alexander Technique would be beneficial for a tinnitus sufferer? I know I hold tension in my neck and shoulders like a lot of people do, also this gets much worse when I'm anxious and can even make my neck muscles twitch and shake involuntarily. Any advice would be much appreciated... thank you
As a professional musician, I'm no stranger to tinnitus. When I was younger, I suffered with it a lot, especially after a loud gig. I found Alexander Technique really helpful in reducing the symptoms to the point where I only have very low level tinnitus these days. I would definitely recommend you to work on your tinnitus using the technique. Hope it helps!
Thanks very much for the your reply, I will definitely give it a go. I'm sure you'll know with experience of T yourself there's so many things out there that offer to help I could remortgage my house to try them all. So glad it helped you that's great to hear... thanks again 😊
Thank you , I have a flat foot, I feel my weight is on the center of the foot, I am not feeling tripod unless I press down the foot..can u suggest , the tripod for flat foot..thank you once again
Flat feet (or fallen arches) make coordination much more difficult. Many people find that the arch recovers as the way that you use your legs and back improve and also many people choose to use specially moulded orthotic inserts in their shoes. From the point of view of this video, see if you can notice whether the feet are completely centred or can you notice that the foot is tending to have weight more towards the front or back or each side. Even with very flat feet, you can often notice that there is still a habit of holding weight towards the outside of the foot rather than being centred. I'll try to make a video specifically about flat feet when I get the chance. All the best.
@@MovementandPosture Thank you for taking time to reply..I felt that my feet was centered. Anyway awaiting for a detailed video about it.. thanks a lot.🙏
I found your video very interesting, I’m 68 and just 6 weeks after a hip replacement but still using a stick as I have a limp any advice on this would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Glad you found it interesting. Sorry to hear that your surgery recovery is going slower than you would like. I was invited to do a short talk on this subject by the excellent @myrecovery app youtube channel for their joint school series. Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/UaCDE_FmZKU/видео.html
Also, I was wondering what topic to make a video for this week so I'll do one about hip/leg mobility. I'll upload it to the channel on Sunday. Hope it's useful. All the best for a speedy recovery and hope you can put the stick away soon!
Thanks so much for that, I really appreciate it as I feel this technique would help with my hip... my doctor said it can take up to 3months for the muscles to fully recover and I suppose considering my age perhaps I’m expecting too much..
@@claresmith9261 You're still young! Hip replacement is a major procedure though so you're doing the right thing in looking for ways to help your recovery. Stay positive and give yourself time to heal fully.🙂
Definitely, have a look at this video for a guided standing talk through. There's also a sitting one on the channel. Hope they help! ruclips.net/video/Ch6usAbpnsc/видео.html
All the same principles apply. If the surface is rocky or slippery etc. then it's even more important to make sure that you remain in balance with all your weight releasing into the ground. Often when surfaces are uneven, it causes people to stiffen up which then makes their balance much worse and they are more likely to fall. In AT, we tend to use positions such as standing in the way I discuss in this video as they are the easiest way to learn the principles but, once learned, these can be applied in more challenging situations. If However, the ground is a slope or stairs then check out my videos on those situations: ruclips.net/video/qSUVxyG7-1w/видео.html (walking down hill/stairs) ruclips.net/video/39Gj5CvnfZQ/видео.html (walking upstairs/hills) Hope that helps!

Will this help elderly people?
Definitely. Lots of elderly people use Alexander technique to help them stay more mobile and avoid falls

@@MovementandPosture Yes you’re right , I’ve never had surgery in my life so I think I didn’t realize how major it was and there’s very little on it
Could you do a constructive rest while standing?
