Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to naturally heal itself and improve functioning.
During an acupuncture treatment, very fine single-use, disposable needles are inserted into various points on the body. Sometimes heat or mild electrical stimulation is applied to the site of the needle insertion. The Alexander Technique is a method that teaches individuals to more readily recognize and understand the sensory experiences associated with tension, malcoordination, emotional conflict, fatigue, injury,discomfort, and distress of any type. This means individuals can notice their subconscious habitual reactions more accurately and then choose, through better understanding and consciously acquired skills, to continue or to discontinue these responses in everyday activities. With the teacher's verbal feedback and gentle, hands-on guidance individuals can more accurately assess the effectiveness and appropriateness of their responses.
