As a back pain sufferer myself, I gained a terrific amount of benefit from the Alexander Technique.

I knew much of the problem was related to bad posture, but was quite shocked at how I held stress and undue tension in my body, not only in the obvious places, ie. neck and back, but also in shoulders, hips and ankles, etc.

It took time but I went from being on very strong prescription drugs to becoming relatively pain-free. I felt I had gained control of my body rather than being a slave to it. This impressed me so much I decided to embark on the 3 year training course to become an Alexander Technique Practitioner.

I have more than five years teaching experience and run a successful practice in Central Brighton. I also tutor at the Brighton Alexander Technique College which is a training facility for those wishing to become Alexander Practitioners themselves.
