Heather shared, \u201cFor a few weeks after Ben was born, I had this crazy experience where all of my organs were reorganizing themselves because they had been pushed aside for so long.\u00a0 It made me want to curl up so that I wouldn\u2019t feel the re-positioning.\u00a0 I knew this would take me out of my alignment, so with the Alexander Technique I was able to keep reminding myself to maintain the length in my torso and allow my skeleton to be the structure in which the organs find their home.\u00a0 This was something I was completely unprepared for, so I was glad to have the Alexander Technique as a lens to deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">As a parent, there is a lot of repetitive lifting, holding, and carrying your baby, as well as pushing a stroller, lugging around an infant car seat, and picking up toys from the floor.\u00a0 It\u2019s common for parents to develop pain, which can be extremely frustrating at such a special time in your child\u2019s development.\u00a0 Heather explained that the Alexander Technique enabled her and her partner to approach the everyday tasks of parenthood with an eye towards their own posture and Ben\u2019s natural coordination. \u00a0It is also common to strain the head, neck and back while breastfeeding, but Heather found the Alexander Technique helped her find comfortable ways to breastfeed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cThe Alexander Technique has had a huge impact on how I touch, hold and guide Ben,\u201d Heather continued, \u201cA big thing I have to do every day with Ben is go up and down the stairs.\u00a0 Even though the stairs are too big for Ben, he now likes to walk down them with help.\u00a0 I noticed that my first tendency was to pull his arm up as he goes down. Then I realized I could actually do less and support him better by letting him take the lead.\u00a0 He then pulls or leans just the amount he needs. I don\u2019t have to give him the extra amount which pulls his arm.\u00a0 I\u2019ve taught my mom how to do this, too.\u201d\u00a0 Want to see what the right support could look like?\u00a0 Check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/nspt4kids.com\/therapy\/when-should-my-child-be-able-to-go-up-and-down-stairs\/\" target=\"_blank\">photo<\/a> and read about stair climbing, which is an important milestone for children\u2019s strength and motor development.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Taking Lessons with Your Partner (Or Support Team)<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexander Technique helps pregnant people recover from birthing.
