Alexander Technique Lessons In Retford, Nottinghamshire.


Who Can Benefit From Alexander Technique?

The Alexander Technique helps with many health issues. These include back pain, shoulder & neck pain, migraine, RSI, pregnancy discomfort, breathing difficulties such as asthma, and rehabilitation after illness, surgery or injury.

How Does The Alexander Technique Work?

The way we sit, stand and move affects how we feel.  We may spend hours everyday slumped at a desk or at the wheel of a car – often unaware of the strain we are putting on ourselves. But over time such poor habits can drain our energy and lead to injury and pain – which is when we start to notice.

 

The Alexander Technique is beautifully simple. It helps us learn to let go of needless muscular tension and to move in a more natural way – offering us relief from aches and pains and feelings of stress. We are then able to enjoy a greater sense of freedom of movement, and the confidence that brings.

Relieve Back Pain

Back pain is one of the main reasons people come to the technique. A major study by the British Medical Journal (2008) demonstrated that Alexander Technique lessons offered significant long-term benefit for lower back pain.

Manage Stress

As your posture changes you learn to breath more effectively and this helps reduce anxiety. It can help you be less reactive in the way you think and to be more measured in your response to others. Think of it as ‘mindfulness for the body’.

After 6 lessons I began to notice the difference and my friends, who didn't know I was having lessons, remarked on my better posture. It has made a real difference to my life, I feel more comfortable in myself.

  • I've had severe problems with my back for 14 years which only surgery can solve. I suffered with constant pain and found many activities unbearable. After hearing about the Alexander technique I came to see Liza who was very easy to talk to and very welcoming. I did leave the first session with a headache but following that my back has never felt better. 80% of day to day pain was gone purely through Lizas hands and techniques. The home exercise was also great for relaxing both emotionally and physically. - Prue

  • I had classes with Liza during my first two pregnancies, which meant that I didn't have any lower back pain. Unfortunately, I couldn't see her during my last pregnancy and I noticed a huge difference: my sciatica pain was back and I struggled to get good sleep. I highly recommend her.
