Wonderfully Victoria Beckham has ‘come out’ as a user of Alexander Technique to help her posture possibly ruined by wearing so many high heels. Brilliant! It’s international. This is probably more publicity than last year when the BMJ article gave the thumbs up to Alexander Technique on extraordinary results for back pain. You can read all about it on Twitter and the rest of the net, although a lot of the articles are inaccurate as to what AT actually is.
But girls, have no fear – it is still possible to wear heels, if you really want to. After all, Alexander is about conscious choice. It just may be that you choose to wear them less often, as you develop your awareness and become more sensitive to the discomfort.
I teach actors who often wear heels for their roles – so come and have a sesh with me and I’ll show you how to use yourself well in heels and not be doomed to open-toed sandals all year!
