"I have been coming to have lessons with Maddy most weeks for two years now and I always say it is the best money I have spent on my health ever. I feel so much better for it: I get much less knotted especially in my shoulders, and feel more erect and poised, and generally more physically aware and easy in my body. I always look forward to my sessions as a time to chill and take a break from being busy. It's hard to explain what actually happens because it sounds so little yet it makes such a difference. And it's so interesting! It may be hard to imagine that the acts of sitting down and standing up can go on being engaging and interesting, but it's true - because every time is different. And I very much enjoy Maddy's company; she makes the whole thing such a pleasure."
"I suffer from pain in my hands, wrists, arms and shoulders caused by too many long days working at a computer. While physiotherapy and massage helped ease the symptoms of what I call my Repetitive Strain Injury for very short periods, my Alexander lessons with Maddy have focused instead on the root causes of my discomfort bad posture, muscle tension, uneven breathing and movement. It's surprising how many bad habits you can develop without realising it. The Alexander technique is no 'quick fix', but my lessons, part-relaxation, part-tutorial, have changed my everyday behaviour and left me feeling physically and mentally healthier."
"I was hopeful that the Alexander Technique would help my painful neck and shoulder but in fact it has changed the way I face up to life - instead of my former habits of getting stressed and tensing up, I have learned to take a mental step back, check that I am in the best order in my body and then decide how to proceed. It can all happen in a flash. My neck very rarely gives me any trouble now - as long as I look after myself!" |
