"The Alexander Technique works by helping an individual to identify and prevent the harmful postural habits.

An Alexander technique teacher will advise individuals how to look at the way they move, stay still, breathe, learn, organise our awareness and focus their attention, and how they choose to react in increasingly demanding situations.

The technique works through re-establishing the natural relationship between the head, the neck and the back - the "core" of the body that supports the strength of the limbs and which provides the structural environment for breathing and for the internal organs."

Biodynamic massage is concerned with the integration of mind and body. It involves a broad range of techniques that work not only at the physical level of skin, tissue, muscle and bone, but also at the more subtle level of energy flow in the body.
In health, there is a relatively free flow of energy through the body and the system is balanced. But when the system becomes imbalanced, for whatever reason, blockages can occur in the energy flow that may lead to physical symptoms and ill health. Biodynamic massage helps to dissolve the blockages of accumulated tension and bring the body’s systems back into balance, leading to improved health and well-being.
Working with the effects and origins of stress, it can promote deep relaxation, improve the circulation and increase energy and well-being. It can also help to relieve chronic symptoms, such as headaches, tension, pain, digestive problems and insomnia.
