Tanya Shoop MSTAT

I used to have chronic backache and tried many different therapies to treat it. Discovering the Alexander Technique was such a relief, finding something that made a long-lasting difference.

I found I was causing my back pain from everyday activities, such as how I drove, walked or used the computer. For example, my car seat was too far forward and I was twisting awkwardly to change gear or get out of the car. But I would never have thought to question this without the Technique.

Now my back is strong, I am much freer in how I move and I am calmer and more confident. With my new knitting hobby (having joined a local "Stich and Bitch group"!) I've been able to use the Alexander Technique to help with this obsession by keeping an eye on my posture and tension levels, especially in my neck, arms and shoulders.

Other surprising effects that have made a real difference for me include being able to talk louder without straining my voice, especially in a noisy atmosphere, and being able to ski more freely. I also no longer grind my teeth - something which was causing dental problems. My teacher, Walter Carrington (who trained with FM Alexander himself in the 1930s), was constantly discovering new things well into his late eighties, proving that life is never boring with the Alexander Technique.
