What people say

"Now I think 'up' when I walk and let my weight go into my heels as well as toes. It is much more comfortable and I am better at relaxing now."
Woman archivist in her 40s with knee and back pain

"I tried the Alexander Technique because I had had back pain every day for about 10 years. The doctor could only offer painkillers. I came to feel that I would have to live with the pain. Alexander lessons have been a life changing experience. My pain reduced by 90%, and some days I don't even have any pain. It feels like I have a new body."

"I am more conscious of what I am doing when lifting, running and know how to carry my head, I always recommend it to others."

"I have Ankylosing Spondylitis, a back condition which brings intermittent episodes of back pain. I tried the Alexander Technique because of concern about my posture and its impact on my back. Six months later I am still benefiting. I would strongly recommend it to anyone with any kind of back problem."

"I've always had awful posture and I've not known what to do about it until now. Some very simple and quite small adjustments made all the difference. Having Alexander lessons is non-threatening and very relaxing and dispels any tension you might have in your body. You leave the session feeling very relaxed and light, as if you've had an hour's massage."
