In this workshop, we will employ practical procedures from both the Alexander Technique and the Evolution work of Professor Dart. Using which Robin has been helping people manage their pain issues for over 50 years.

Pain is always an entirely personal affair. If you have any kind of short-term or long-term pain symptoms then in this workshop you will be shown methods you can at once employ to progressively reduce that pain experience. You will be given the agency to help yourself manage your pain. 

For example, Robin has had success with "slipped-disc" issues and those with severe neck and back pain, and medical people (even surgeons) have sent him patients they knew would be helped by employing the Alexander Technique in their pain management. Pain being a universal issue we hope everyone will benefit greatly from this session.

About the Alexander Technique

Developed by F. Matthias Alexander in 1894 this Technique is essentially a re-educative self-help system that promotes better health by improving posture, coordination, and breathing. It is used by people from all backgrounds and all ages both in the arts, in offices and businesses, at home, and in all sporting activities. Doctors frequently recommend a course of lessons to their patients to assist with poor posture, whiplash injury, all kinds of back problems (including slipped discs), respiratory troubles, and pain issues. Many well-known celebrities, sportspeople, and performers take lessons to manage stress and improve their performance in whatever they do.
