Sally came to see me for Alexander Technique lessons with a stiff neck and was in a desperate state. It had started two years previously and had progressively got worse. Medical examinations had found nothing wrong and she was advised to take painkillers until it went away. The drugs didn’t really help because they didn’t prevent the discomfort or get any where near treating the cause.

She had tried physical therapy, osteopathy and chiropractic treatment and had some relief for a short period following her appointments, but within three days her stiff neck returned. She had tried daily neck exercises, massages and exercises to improve her posture but still the stiff neck refused to let go and, if anything, had got worse. She found the exercises she was given to improve her posture had made her lower back ache.

In her first consultation I was able to show her something that not one of her other therapists had.

What was it? It was something that was absolutely fundamental to her condition – how to move and support her head. Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? But no one had thought to show her how she could begin to relieve the stresses and strains in her stiff neck by changing how she was holding and turning her head!

NOTE - her course did not include a single neck strengthening exercise or massage!

In the following sessions we looked at how she performed daily activities such as standing and sitting and with a few adjustments she was able to do all of these with far less effort. Within a short time she was completely free of her stiff neck. This is the crucial point - it was something she had been doing to her neck! Her neck wasn’t the problem.

This is a typical example of what I see on a daily basis and it is frustrating to see just how ineffective conventional methods are for curing a stiff neck. Usually my clients are annoyed that they have spent so much time and money for treatments that have not addressed the cause of their stiff neck.

The procedures I used in Sally's case are now available in this downloadable, fully illustrated guide.
