This BBC programme looks at how the Alexander Technique was used to help Paralympian Gary Farmer. It’s a great example of how the technique can make a big difference!
“Gary lost his leg in a car crash when he was five years old, but he’s overcome his disability and achieved success as a Paralympic ice hockey player. However, a lifetime on crutches and a punishing exercise regime has severely damaged his shoulders and he will soon be confined to a wheelchair. It’s up to Dr Chattergee to come up with a solution to keep him on his feet and able to compete.”
