Guardian article on Alexander for health and wellbeing

Changing the way you carry yourself can address the underlying cause of many such problems.

Alexander Technique teachers use a combination of gentle manual guidance and verbal coaching to help their pupils bring about greater ease and poise in their daily life.

Alan Mars has been a STAT qualified Alexander Technique teacher since 1982.

"The British Medical Journal back-pain trial proves that Alexander Technique is extremely effective in relieving chronic low-back pain."
See article: 'Randomised controlled trial of Alexander Technique..'

"I recommend the Alexander Technique as an extremely sophisticated form of rehabilitation... From personal experience we can already confirm some of the seemingly fantastic claims made by Alexander and his followers - namely, that many types of underperformance and even ailments, both mental and physical, can be alleviated, sometimes to a surprising degree, by teaching the body musculature to function differently. We already notice, with growing amazement, very striking improvements in such diverse things as high blood pressure, breathing, depth of sleep, overall cheerfulness and mental alertness, resilience against outside pressures, and in such a refined skill as playing a musical instrument."
Professor N. Tinbergen,1907-1988, Nobel Prize for Medicine, 1973
