You can learn to minimize strain





The F.M. Alexander Technique is used by actors, athletes and musicians to enhance coordination and minimize strain and fatigue. According to Jean-Louis Rodrigue, adjunct assistant professor of theater and music at UCLA and a senior teacher of the Alexander Technique, most people are unaware that they way they habitually move can lead to tension, back pain, muscle spasms, headaches and repetitive stress injury.


Performers find the skill so helpful that the Alexander Technique has become required course work at the Julliard School of Music and Yale School of Drama.


The public is invited to learn about this technique at a special lecture/demonstration sponsored by the UCLA Collaborative Centers for Integrative Medicine from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Mon., May 5 in the Neuropsychiatric Institute Auditorium on the UCLA campus in Westwood.


Admission is free. Parking is $7. For more information, please call (310) 825-5300.
