The Alexander Technique with Kim Cant

Promoting healthier backs in

Warrington, Cheshire 

Testimonial - chronic back pain after slipped discs  

"I heard about the Alexander Technique while looking for alternative therapies to help with my back problem. So when Kim began her practice in this area I was willing to try it. I have found the instruction extremely helpful and Kim's delivery is clear and encouraging. I recommend this for anyone who suffers from aches and pains that they can't put their finger on the cause, or actual problems like my own for which pain relief is not a cure! Its been great to take positive action to help myself." -Angela (Warrington)

Have you always admired the upright poise of meerkats. Their head is delicately balanced on top of their spine. Humans are in fact the same. As a child we move with grace and ease our head balanced on top of the spine and we are upright in manner. Then we go to school and onto work where hunch over desks and computers and develop all sorts of poor postural habits. The Alexander Technique primarily addresses the nature of the head, neck and back relationship and in doing so we rediscover our natural balance and poise.

Clinical trial proves Alexander Technique is an effective treatment for back pain

The trial published in the British Medical Journal showed that of the approaches tested, lessons in the Alexander Technique provided the most benefit. The research reveals that following 24 Alexander Technique lessons, the average number of activities limited by low back pain had fallen by 42%, and the number of days in pain had decreased from 21 to 3 days per month one year after the trial started (an 86% reduction in the numbers of days with back pain)
