As humans, we have the unique ability to choose how we use our bodies and minds.
What we do and how we do it is primarily up to us to decide. That doesn’t make things easy, though. For all of our perceived free will, we are governed by habitual movements, and responses. gathered throughout our lifetime. Life events, work, stress, even our experiences in childhood, can all play a part in building patterns of posture and movement that cause problems later in life. Quite often, we are oblivious to these patterns of behaviour and response, because they are embedded in habits which feel normal to us but may be compromising our wellbeing in some way.

Reviews:
"I came to Richard originally for a taster session. After six lessons my pain was reduced significantly. If the pain does appear I now have my own method of alleviating it" - Jean, Ulverston
“Despite having a good level of fitness and having practiced Yoga for over 20 years I have experienced intermittent lower back pain for at least 25 years which has become chronic in the the last 6 years or so. I have spent thousands of pounds and as many hours having different types of treatment in the hope of curing my back problem. I have seen sports therapists, osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractor’s. I’ve tried acupuncture, myofascial release work, massages and I’ve done some process work with the pain. I had almost given up hope of ever finding a cure and thought it was just a case of managing the pain but then I was reminded of the Alexander Technique so thought I’d give it a go. After my first session with Richard within 2 days I was feeling the pain about 50% less of the time and after 4 lessons I’m feeling hopeful and optimistic that it’s possible that I will be free of pain again. Richard’s gentle and humble approach in the way that he teaches allows his belief and discernment to shine through and be passed on for which I am grateful.” Helen, Ulverston
“I’d been hoping for some time that an Alexander Technique teacher would come to Barrow and, luckily for me, Richard did. I badly needed help with my core balance to overcome my tendency to trip and fall badly. Currently, I am in the process of being re-educated in the seemingly basic skills of walking, bending, sitting and breathing, etc. After the very first session, I noticed the difference in my movement. Now, after six, I rarely trip; my legs are stronger when bending; sitting is more comfortable; my spine feels longer, and I actually see more because I am using my peripheral vision. Training in the Alexander Technique is bringing me the grace in movement I have long wanted and admired in others who have experienced the training. I highly recommend Richard Marsden with his ability to explain the processes involved, his professionalism and patience.” Dorothy, Barrow
