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!
