Alexander Technique with Loretta Manson

Alexander Technique with Loretta Manson Loretta Manson is a qualified Alexander Technique teacher (MSTAT), offering lessons in central London

The Alexander Technique is a unique self-help approach that helps people do the things they do with more ease and freedom - from sitting in front of a computer, to playing the guitar or singing an aria. With regular practice, it can enable the learner to identify and prevent harmful postural habits that may cause or exacerbate tension, pain and under-performance. The Alexander teacher uses gentle,

hands-on guidance to help the student find a more harmonious coordination of the head, neck, torso and limbs, promoting poise and freedom of movement. Our habitual ways of moving and holding ourselves have an effect on the way we feel and how well we function. Pupils of the Alexander Technique may notice improvements in their general health and well-being. Many rediscover a sense of calm, lightness, relaxation and alertness they have not experienced since childhood. People have Alexander Technique lessons for help with:
neck and shoulder tension
back problems
poor posture
repetitive strain injury (RSI)
stress management
pain management
recovery from accidents or injury
maximising benefits from sport and exercise
improving performance - playing an instrument, singing, dancing, acting
breathing and vocal expression

Developed by the Australian Frederick Mathias Alexander over a hundred years ago, the Alexander Technique has helped thousands of people to get more out of life by improving the way they approach the things they do.

I was diagnosed with mild idiopathic scoliosis as a teenager, when, as a student of ballet and other dances, I began to experience a collection of musculoskeletal pains and other symptoms, many of which continue to this day. My Alexander training helped eliminate what was once my worst pain - behind my right shoulder - altogether, and other pains that had me close to despair in my early twenties reduced dramatically. Years of practice, experimentation and enquiry have helped me manage my condition well. A diagnosis of fibromyalgia was illuminating, leading me to explore new findings in chronic pain research. Now I am much less troubled by discomfort. Still, my pain persists, even though my scoliosis is very mild. I feel for those much worse affected, and with far fewer resources to meet that deep suffering. Life’s twists and turns can be hard.

Today is International Scoliosis Awareness Day.
We are sending Love and support to everyone affected by Scoliosis.

Take care in the heat, good people.

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
John Lubbock - The Use of Life.
