"I am now more able to keep aware of
balance or imbalance … which helps me to relieve tension before it can
build up to cause problems."
Dr M. Lobell

"The knowledge gained … has helped
me to re-evaluate past habits and endeavour to
change some of them."
T. Motley (potter)

"… A sudden twist on Sunday left me
with sciatica in my right leg - I could only drive by using my hand to lift
my leg and foot from accelerator to brake pedal. …
A few apparently minor and gentle rearrangements of my limbs brought
immediate relief and restored full movement - amazing!
V. Bourne (librarian)
“Before seeing Jeanette
and taking Alexander technique lessons I had tried all sorts of treatments
to help with my chronic lower back pain. Physiotherapists, osteopaths,
chiropractors, doctors, massage, acupuncture - all of which brought
temporary relief but no closer to the root cause of my problem and a long
term solution. My back pain was
stopping me from playing sport, doing the things I love and just being pain
free in normal life at the early age of 27.
“After taking lessons
with Jeanette, a reduction in muscle tension and pain was immediately
noticeable. Being tension and pain
free was a new experience to enjoy!
After a year of
Alexander Technique Lessons, I am now pain free all the time, and have the
knowledge to reduce muscular tension myself when it arise through my own
bad use or over use. I have resumed
sporting activities and feel excited about a continued improvement in the
future.”
Daniel Willersdorf (Engineer), Portland.
“I would regularly get headaches and a
tight neck and shoulders and it was really bothering me so I thought I
would give Alexander Technique a try. Jeanette has helped me to become more
aware of how I use my body and been able to provide me with practical
advice for relieving these problems. I have noticed a significant improvement
and feel more confident to use my body in a better way. I am continuing on with Alexander lessons
as it helps me to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”
