Question:
Hello,
Has anyone who has had any experience in the Alexander technique, be good enough to advise me on 'easy' exercises for the lower spine.
I have a bad neck problem which involves my discs, one of which is slightly 'bulging'. For the last year i have been unable to do my usual exercise, which i badly miss as i did sport for most of my life.
Just lately my neck is becoming frighteningly worse, it hurts to type this message, and i have noticed that my posture is particually bad at the bottom.
It has been drawn tomy attention recently that this could be contributing to the worstening of my neck,and i agree.
Has anyone who might know anything in this field please have any advice?

Hi Aura, sorry to have taken a while to reply, but I was waiting to see if you'd get a reply from an A.T. person.
You could ask your GP if he could refer you to a pain clinic - I believe they are pretty widespread. They usually have AT, as well as acupuncture, and a pain psychologist.
Another way in is through Body Control Pilates, as it incorporates AP - I could send you my beginners' advice notes if you like - it's got postural advice. It would be better if you saw someone though if possible.
Hope you'e feeling a bit better,
Sharon.
Dear Spinal Music,
Apart from trying to remember to hold the bottom of my stomache in, i haven't a clue.
So i would be very gratefull if you would send me your notes on posture.
Thankyou,
Aura
