Regain freedom and poise in movement

Many of us hold excessive muscular tension, due to stress, pain, or just habits in our ways of moving, or sitting or standing. Often, we don't even notice how tense we are because it has crept up on us over years. This tension can exacerbate pain and anxiety and impairs our balance and coordination.

I can help you undo this unnecessary tension. You won't have to have special equipment or do exercises, you just put more thought into what you do, so that you optimise how you use your body and react better to stress.

Many treatments help pain temporarily, but Alexander Technique is different. It has been proven to help long term, and because it is something you learn rather than is done to you, it puts you in control of your long term well-being.

Whilst most people start learning Alexander Technique because of pain or mobility issues, then realise how much it can improve many aspects of their lives: they feel calmer, they improve in sports or activities they enjoy or they notice they are walking taller and have more confidence.

Having lessons in the Alexander Technique have been proven to reduce days with back pain by an average of 86% in patients with both chronic and recurrent back pain, even a year after lessons have been completed, according to a major study published in the British Medical Journal (click here).
