https://www.alexandertech.org/index.html Here's the link for the Alexander Technique.
At this site you can find local 'teachers' and connect in your area. I've already contacted
someone in my area inquiring about someone to work with me.
Yes I've sustained some damage. When I was 16, many years ago, I over-practiced a very
robust assignment from my piano teacher. I showed up for the next lesson with tendonitis,
or so the doctor called it. It took a long time to recuperate. Lessons were over. When I went
to college my piano professor worked with me on posture and relaxation of shoulders. It helped
but I was still plagued with tightening forearms, and pain. I've learned to deal with it - but found
out I have fibromyalgia and cervical disc disease. Long story made short, I've had my share of
trouble with hands. Relaxation is key. Rest. Learning music mentally and simply reading it away
from the keyboard is helpful. I'm looking forward to working with the Alexander technique...so
thanks for the suggestion. Just everyone remember you CAN take too many anti-inflammatories.
