Did you know that BackCare, the Charity for Healthier Backs, rates this one single technique as the "most effective of all the treatments reviewed"¹

And a study funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC) and the NHS Research and Development Fund has highlighted the effectiveness of Alexander Technique.

After a year of treatment patients in the study receiving normal care, such as massage, endured 21 days of back pain in the previous month.

However, those who received 24 lessons of Alexander technique experienced 18 fewer days of misery.

In addition the Alexander Technique group reported improved quality of life, according to the findings published by the British Medical Journal On-line.

Fortunately, 97% of back pain sufferers could benefit from this one simple technique²

In a study by the British Holistic Medical Association, of those who suffer from chronic pain, they expressed their preference for The Alexander Technique as their favourite approach to long-term pain relief.

Learning the Alexander Technique teaches you how to 'drive' your own body. I like to think of it as getting back your remote control.

Alexander Technique is really safe and gentle. I work slowly and carefully with you. Each session is an experiment in movement, often fun and entertaining, where you remain completely in control. You won't find me wrenching you around, or hurting you! It takes from 5 to 30 private lessons to gain a really firm understanding of the Alexander Technique, and I will be focused on giving you what you need in as short a time as possible, which means just one session can give you valuable tools for change.

If you are from Manchester, Stockport or Cheshire, Alexander Technique lessons with me are a great way forward - just give it a go.

I am easy to reach, right by the A6 between Stockport and Manchester, near M60 junction 1. Sessions are available between 11 and 7, Monday to Friday.
