I came to Mark for Alexander Technique lessons experiencing neck pain related to long days at the computer and playing the violin. Mark has a great, clear teaching style which, over four lessons, have led to many positive changes in posture and body-awareness, leading to reducing muscle tension.
My neck pain is significantly reduced and still improving, despite long days at the computer and continuing to play the violin. I would recommend Alexander lessons with Mark to anyone, as they provide a valuable toolbox of techniques to prevent and reduce pain and promote body-awareness, which will have life-long utility.
I first heard about the Alexander Technique years ago but finally decided to give it a try when I experienced lower back pain recently. I found the lessons with Mark helped me beyond my back pain, I am much more aware of the impact of stress on my body AND that 'trying' to have a great posture is not necessarily the best way to stand and sit! Mark explained things really well, I got a lot from the lessons and feel motivated to continue to put them into everyday practice.
I have had 12 lessons with Mark to address ongoing lower back pain that I had for 18 months.
I have had some success with acupuncture and chiropractic, but nothing that lasted, and it all relied upon someone else giving me treatments.
I was surprised at how little I had to "do"in my first lesson - in fact Alexander Technique is all about doing less and allowing your body to revert to it's natural, stress -free state.
I have found I am applying what I have learned on a daily basis (not just when I do my constructive rest) and have found it very helpful in everyday movement, including my yoga practice.
I now have no back pain at all and it feels great to know that I have the skills to keep it that way.
Been seeing Mark for over 6 months now. Had never heard of Alexander Technique before my physio mentioned it to me after I had been having tension type headaches. My headaches are nearly all gone, I am a lot calmer, my posture is improving and everything Mark says makes sense. I have strategies to help ease tension in stressful situations and although still got a little way to go to get rid of all my bad habits, what Mark has done for me I will use for the rest of my life! Money very well spent and I would not hesitate in recommending.
Thanks Mark, Jon Myers
Mark has been teaching me the Alexander Technique for the past six months. He is a fantastic teacher and has taught me how to move and sit in a different and more open way. I have learnt how emotions can affect posture and create tension in the body. Mark has also taught me methods which help with stressful and challenging situations. Learning the Alexander Technique has been invaluable and I cannot recommend Mark more highly.
I booked a course of 8 classes to help me improve my posture especially as I felt my head sometimes sat too far forward and my neck was often stiff and immobile. Even after one session I noticed a difference .. I felt more upright and taller .. but not in a forced unnatural way. Whilst after long hours at the computer I still feel that head forward posture returning the Alexander lessons have given me tools to use to help counteract this. I try and use the principles Mark has taught me when running, sitting at the PC.. and in my work as a massage therapist. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone wanting to improve posture, reduce stress (emotional and / or physical) or resolve chronic muscular pain.
I have been learning Alexander technique with Mark. He is an excellent teacher, taking it personally and showing amazing empathy and supoort. Mark has taught me how to move and sit more effectivley in order to manage migraines. I am now medication free bringing migraines to a manageable state. We have worked on not just the physical but the emotional aspect of managing migraines to great success.
Mark comes with my highest recomendation. Learning the Alexander Technique has made huge differences to my life. Thank you Mark.
I went to see Mark for help with neck and shoulder pain after years hunching over desks. I found the sessions helped very quickly with this. Mark is a great teacher and I learned how to deal with and gradually lose habits picked up way back in childhood. As well as getting rid of the pain, an added bonus is that I've found Alexander Technique has helped enormously in other areas of my life such as singing, public speaking and sport. I recommend Mark highly.
