The Use of the Self
- F. Mathias Alexander
Frederick
Matthias Alexander was born in Tasmania in 1869. In his twenties, he
became a professional reciter of dramatic pieces. After almost
completely losing his voice he pioneered a method of improving the "use"
of his body musculature in all positions and movements and cured his
vocal problems without medical aid. Alexander then realized that most
people stood, sat and moved in a defective manner and that incorrect
"use of the self" might be the cause of much human suffering.
