80% of the population suffer from some form of muscle, joint pain or physical injury due to poor posture

Posture PitStopTM is a unique method of analysing your posture, identifying harmful postural habits and giving you the understanding and tools to adopt a healthier posture for life. Use of photos, videos and my unique Force Plate technology will give an accurate analysis of your body movement. With 17 years of experience as an Alexander Technique teacher, I can quickly identify unwanted postural habits and guide your body to a better posture.


RC came to me because she has a prolapsed disc and sciatica. She was concerned that she may need surgery. After her PitStop session she writes:

"I felt elated when I left you because I knew that I had found a way help myself. I felt empowered. Sitting in the car on the way home felt very different, no discomfort. That night I had my first decent night's sleep for a long time."

After her fourth lesson she writes:

"Really good news. I had my physio appointment last Thursday...I have some 20% more movement than I had before I came to you. They were really positive about The Alexander Technique and they feel I won't need surgery as I am making such good progress."

An active lifestyle is the key to health and happiness at any age. Your lifestyle can change dramatically if you are physically injured or debilitated in some way. My aim is to help you identify and prevent harmful postural habits that may lead to injury. You will learn how to achieve optimal physical mobility and performance and to prevent unnecessary stress and pain. It is an investment for your future.

How you function and move directly affects your joints, spine and muscular tension

Each one of us has a unique physical body and structure. Posture PitStopTM can help you see for yourself how you function and move. It will help you to understand your particular problems, why they exist and how you can prevent or eliminate them.

A better posture will have a positive impact on many areas of your life: from feeling free of tension and having greater freedom of movement to being able to control stress levels more effectively. Improved balance and co-ordination will prevent future injury. Knowing how to perform simple activities correctly, such as sitting at your desk and working at your PC will have a huge impact on your avoidance of common work-related ailments such as RSI and back pain.

Just after her PitStop session, JS writes:

"I was really laughing to myself as I got in my car... I had to adjust the mirror just like you said, couldn't believe it!! Just how much I have learned in a short amount of time - so a big thank you!"

You will experience:

  • gentle hands-on guidance to promote your mobility, ease and balance
  • release of muscular tension, increased flexibility and lengthening of your spine
  • freedom of movement without strain
