I used to have terrible lower back pain from the curvature of my spine but after having a few lessons with Jane and committing myself to doing 15 minutes in the semi-supine position everyday, I feel so much better within myself. The curve is reducing every day, I have no more pain, I feel fitter, lighter on my feet and people have even commented on how well I look. Alexander Technique is great! I really look forward to my lessons, not just because Jane is lovely, but because I will leave after the lesson having learnt something that will benefit me for years to come.

The Alexander Technique has certainly helped my shoulder and neck problems over the last few months, it makes you think when you go to answer a phone, sit at your desk and computer. The semi-supine position has improved my sleep pattern by 75%. It definitely works for me.

I was introduced to Alexander Technique over a year ago and as an 85 year-old, have found it not just relaxing, but it helps release stress, and at night, it is amazing - one does not move yet one’s mind gives gentle instructions which glide one off to sleep again.

I suffered from a stiff neck on and off for years; probably due to tension and sitting at a pc all day. Finally I decided to do something about it and try the Alexander Technique - I noticed an improvement almost straight away…I find the subtle teachings of the Alexander Technique really helpful.

…because of the Alexander Technique, I rarely get the joint pains now that I used to get.

I'm afraid the physiotherapy was not at all helpful to for my RSI (and actually gave me more pain!), so after that I tried the Alexander technique with Jane Gregory. I have to say it's been fabulous. I would highly recommend it for anyone suffering from back/neck/shoulder pain or RSI (or indeed any kind of pain or aches).

Jane has helped me become more aware of my movements including freeing my neck and jaw and allowing my voice to be more resonant. Overall it is a real benefit to me.

The best thing about the Alexander Technique is that you can improve your posture and well being, and you’ll actually enjoy it! Rather than forcing your body into standing up straight, AT teaches you to release tension and unlearn bad habits. You won’t only look better, you’ll feel better.
I’ve often tried to improve my posture by other means (unsuccessfully), but I now feel like I’ve made some real progress using the Alexander Technique. It is also helpful for relaxation, stress relief and learning about the way your body works.
Jane Gregory is a highly skilled AT teacher who can assess where you tend to hold tension in your body and help you learn to release that tension to improve your posture, well being, and to allow your body to function in the best possible way.

Just over a year ago I was suffering with a very painful neck which never seemed to right itself. I happened to be talking to a colleague who suggested Alexander Technique and not being one for taking painkillers of any kind decided to give it a try. It was the best decision I took. Even after just a couple of weeks my neck began to feel better and now I am pain free! Even though I don’t attend my lessons any longer, Jane, my teacher, had taught me so much about posture and how to ‘work’ my body in the correct way that if I find myself ‘slouching’ I at once check myself. Don’t expect an overnight miracle but I say give it a try work with your teacher and you will be very pleasantly surprised.

My posture has improved, I now use my body more effectively and I feel more relaxed and generally better for learning it.
