Abstract

The Alexander technique can help nurses deal with their stressful jobs, as one group recently discovered in a session aimed at their specific needs. While work pressure helps people maintain motivation, excessive amounts can be stressful and damaging. The Alexander technique involves learning about stress-induced bad habits, such as tightening the neck muscles. It also involves mental techniques and discipline. Easing the weight-bearing points on the feet can be restorative after a busy day.
