The Alexander Technique is non-invasive and entirely safe for most people.

HOWEVER: There are always people who will react negatively to any amount of touch – e.g. people who have been abused emotionally or physically, people who have certain neuromuscular conditions that cause flare up of symptoms, e.g. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, and people who have had recent injuries or surgeries with open wounds.

As with any technique, anyone with a medical condition of any sort should check with a doctor before studying the A.T.
