Getting Rid of RSI
with Alexander Technique

The Problem with RSI

RSI — repetitive strain injury — affects the shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands. It's caused not just by repetitive movements, but by the way you carry tension throughout your body while doing them.

Most people's instinct is to brace against the pain: to hold themselves more carefully, more rigidly. This feels protective but it often makes things significantly worse. The excess tension you add compounds the problem rather than relieving it.

Often, the efforts you make to relieve RSI pain are exactly what's making it worse.

What Alexander Technique Does Differently

The Alexander Technique works at the level of cause. Rather than treating the painful area directly, it addresses the whole-body tension habits that create the conditions for RSI to develop and persist.

The technique begins with the relationship between your head, neck, and back. When this fundamental relationship is free and easy, tension throughout the arms and shoulders naturally reduces. The body can move with the fluency it was designed for.

It also teaches you to give your body time to heal — not by resting completely, but by learning to perform everyday tasks (typing, driving, using a mouse) with a fraction of the effort you currently use.
