Alexander technique practitioners teach people to use their bodies in the most efficient way to avoid unnecessary strain and wear and tear on the body. They help pupils to recognise and correct bad habits in the way they perform everyday movements like walking and sitting.
Alexander technique practitioners aim to improve physical and emotional wellbeing and to teach pupils to correct their bad habits and incorporate the Alexander technique into their everyday lives. The client is referred to as a pupil because they are studying methods for life-long learning. Pupils can include people with a range of medical complaints as well as actors, singers and sportspeople who wish to improve their performance.
Most practitioners work flexible hours to meet the needs of pupils. This can include evening and weekend working. They may work in a complementary therapy centre or their own or pupils' homes.
Earnings can range from around £12,000 to £35,000 a year.

Alexander technique practitioners are self-employed and there is no formal career structure. They will spend time building their businesses and increasing their client lists.
