Inspiring to see the Alexander Technique being featured in yesterday’s episode of “Doctor in the House”. A paralympic athlete who had lost a leg as a child was shown how to use himself better and put less strain on his shoulders during everyday life, using his crutches and his very demanding sport. This will enable him to continue to compete in ice sledge hockey and to minimise the damage to his shoulders that would otherwise lead to a life in the wheelchair.
You can watch the program on the BBC iPlayer if you live in the UK and have a TV licence.
