Sports Performance:

• Helps athletes develop better body awareness, coordination, and efficient movement patterns.

• Can improve breathing coordination, flexibility, and injury prevention.

• A study on golfers found the Alexander Technique improved weight transfer, spine angle, and overall technique (Ingham et al., 2018).

• Research on rowers showed it enhanced breathing patterns and reduced excessive muscle tension (Ahmetović et al., 2015).

Music Performance:

• Teaches musicians how to minimize excessive tension and improve breathing and posture while playing.

• Studies show it can increase respiratory function and reduce performance anxiety in musicians (Valentine et al., 1995; Howell, 2016).

• Helps prevent repetitive strain injuries common in instrumentalists (Polatin et al., 1997).

Acting/Drama:

• Improves body awareness, presence, and vocal projection for actors.

• Can help actors develop character physicality and prevent muscle tension/strain.

• A study found the Alexander Technique enhanced acting skills like responsiveness and being "in the moment" (Valentine et al., 1995).

• Used by many prominent actors like Patrick Stewart to improve stage presence.

General Benefits for Performers:

• Promotes mental calmness, focus and preventing excessive muscle tension or 'choking'.
