NHS Trail demonstrates long term benefit for back pain see video
recently completed research On how effective the Alexander Technique is for low back pain and chronic recurring back pain.
After back problems having Alexander Technique sessions with Chris for about 6 months,
the curvature of my spine stabilized and improved to such an extent that
my orthopedic doctor cancelled my imminent spinal operation, saying it
was no longer necessary. I thoroughly recommend anyone with a back problem
to try this wonderful technique.

My back is much better since I saw you.
Anne Totterdale – Film critic
I was stunned at the difference learning the Alexander Technique made – I don’t
get backache anymore.
Sandra Sayer -Secretary
Alexander Technique has given me my life back. From my mid twenties I
suffered increasingly from a bad back, for no major cause. My symptoms
ranged from a dull ache to severe lower back spasms that left me incapacitated
for a number of days. Eventually I was forced to stop driving except for
short journeys; I had to rely totally on my wife for any gardening and
lifting; I often spent weekends lying on the floor to recuperate enough
to get to work on Mondays; I couldn't even bend over to put on my socks.
'Conventional' treatments had no effect: after x-rays showed nothing much
untoward, my GP said he couldn't help, and thus that an operation would
not be countenanced. I went from physiotherapy, including traction and
acupuncture to even an extended programmer of sclerosis injections, all
to no avail.
As a last resort I consulted Chris Element, and within a
month, under his direction, began to feel some relief. I began to understand
that to alleviate the pain over the 30 years I had suffered, my
posture had grown increasingly poor and I had become quite twisted - and
this was exacerbating the effect of any injury I might have had from the
start. So it took some time before I could say that I was confident in
the treatment. But now, by maintaining the exercise regime, and going
to see Chris on occasions for a refresher, I no longer suffer from the
gut wrenching debilitating spasms, no more heavy dull aching, and I can
drive decent miles again. And of course, put on my own socks!
