The Use Of The Self by Frederick Matthias Alexander
The book outlines a practical method for improving posture, movement, breathing and voice by identifying and undoing habitual, unconscious muscular patterns that disrupt natural coordination. Through careful self-observation, inhibition of automatic reactions, and conscious direction of the head-neck-back relationship (the “primary control”), readers are taught to re-educate their neuromuscular habits, reduce tension and strain, and restore ease, balance and more efficient use of the body. It presents both philosophical principles and practical exercises aimed at fostering psychophysical unity and preventing pain and dysfunction.
