ABOUT JOAN ARNOLD

Joan Arnold has worked with people of all ages and professions - lawyers, teachers, social workers, new parents, musicians, dancers and actors - helping them use their bodies with less tension, better coordination and more comfort. Using the Alexander Technique, she has helped them overcome pain and solve chronic body problems so they can move through the day with more ease, productivity and enjoyment.

Most people don't realize that their symptoms - chronic back problems, pain, tension or undefined discomfort - are often the result of habitual movement patterns. We may hear that our posture is hereditary, that achy joints are an inevitable part of the aging process, or that chronic problems are structural.

These common symptoms can often be changed through movement education. Even when you have a disease or chronic condition that cannot be changed, you can improve the way you use your body as you handle its challenges.
