Rediscover good posture. Improve back and neck pain.

Art of Posture word logo

Do you want better posture? Do you want to tackle the root of chronic back, neck or shoulder pain?

These can all impact on our day-to-day wellbeing and limit our freedom to live and work how we want to, especially as we get older. Being round shouldered or having slumped posture doesn't have to be inevitable, though.

​

Alexander Technique lessons help you to steadily and sustainably reduce these aches and pains and improve your comfort and mobility. And good posture makes people look and feel better.

Working with you

Using the Alexander Technique, we can work together to teach your body to stop its immediate and instinctive reactions. Instead, we can learn to send the body messages for it to energise in a different way.


When I’m working with someone in person, I use a gentle guiding touch to guide your body, helping you to release tension or to move differently.

​

Everyone’s lifestyle and behaviours are unique. I take the time to really listen to you, to understand how you live and to observe your physical movements so that I can work out what might be causing your aches and pains.


Then, with sometimes the subtlest of shifts, we can work together to help you listen to your body and consciously change the way you sit, move and carry things, whatever it might be, to release the tension in your body.

What my clients say

"Tanya is brilliant. She is very good at diagnosing, assessing and finding out what is out of balance. Her hands-on rebalancing is absolutely the best thing about the consultation.
 
Her practical advice on how to change my walking has had a direct positive impact on my knee pain." 

Anne

"I have had severe shoulder, neck and jaw discomfort for 30 years – I have tried many physiotherapists, cranial therapists, NHS consultants and other local therapists over the years and no one has even touched the surface of the problem, whereas Tanya in 6 weeks has transformed my condition.

 

Tanya combines both deep compassion for her patients with a truly remarkable understanding of Alexander technique and body mechanics. After 30 years of discomfort I am greatly improved and can see the possibility of being pain free, I would strongly recommend her to anyone."

Thomas

"Wherever I have lived, I have always found the Alexander Technique to be the most effective way to deal with back pain and this was initially why I went to Tanya. 

 

Her lessons were the best I have ever had, she really sorted out my back...and I can credit her lessons for getting me back on my feet then. She is a very kind and non-judgemental person, and she works gently, a real plus."
