Alexander Technique

Posted on May 5, 2009 by

Posted in A, Alternative Therapies, Blog, Knowledge Base

The Alexander technique is a method of movement and alignment that teaches people to use their bodies more efficiently. It helps individuals improve their posture, let go of muscle tension, and move with greater ease. The goal of this technique is to eradicate such poor habits as slouching and tensing (which can lead to pain, decreased mobility, and other health problems) and replace them with good postural habits.

A Good Schvitz: Alternative Medicine At Its Finest

While the neighborhood was once a bit risky, it’s now completely safe, upscale, and laden with the telltale sushi places, sports bars, and coffee houses of urban gentrification. Take a minute to look up as you approach Read More
Protect Your Child From The Dangerous Anti-Vaccine Cult

Recently on NPR I heard an interview with a young man who has the unusual occupation of being a Facebook content moderator. For eight hours a day he reads the crazy stuff people post and deletes it.
