Alexander Technique: Australian actor – Fredrick Matthias developed this technique. It is based on the notion that having a good body posture lessens discomfort due to reduced muscle and body stiffness. So the focus here is on proper posture. Videos explaining the method are easily available on the internet and may be used at home with ease.
Bowen Treatment: This is a more recent treatment that has come into the market to treat back pain issues. It is a technique that involves stretching of the skin away from the muscles with receptors. Some force is applied on the receptors by the therapist. The brain receives signals from the receptors, which results in improved muscle tension and reduced pain.
Such natural therapies might not sow immediate results but they are effective and they have the added advantage of saving us from harmful drug side effects.
