Jenny Sixt
Alexander Technique teacher and
Music physiologist specialising in dystonia
Jenny Sixt is an Alexander Technique teacher and music physiologist specialising in dystonia.
People who experience little relief from their dystonia with conventional treatment methods occasionally find their way to the Alexander Technique as a retraining method. The aim of the method is to achieve a profound change in movement habits towards a favourable way of dealing with oneself. In the best case scenario, the learned parts of the disorder can be unlearned again when the movement behaviour becomes conscious and change becomes second nature. AT teaches how to recognise habits and how to consciously stop automatic reactions. This creates a new scope for controlling movement differently.
Main topics Focal dystonia
- Task-specific dystonia & tremor
- Musician’s dystonia
- Retraining

- Consultancy for multimodal / interdisciplinary treatment concepts
Her fee is 100€ per hour
more about Jenny Sixt
Jenny Sixt initially completed her AT training in Munich, where she came into particular contact with the playing-related problems of musicians. After her certification in music physiology, she began to work intensively with focal dystonia. Today she co-operates with various clinics and the German Dystonia Society in order to better scientifically research movement therapy as retraining for dystonia. She is particularly interested in the transferability of retraining concepts for musicians to other forms of dystonia (such as blepharospasm or cervical dystonia). She informs those affected about various therapy methods that can help patients to cope better with the disease situation in everyday life in addition to the classic medical therapies with BoNT or THS.
