What is the Alexander Technique?
Are you interested in the Alexander Technique, but not sure what it entails? We view it as a preventative treatment to compliment chiropractic as a curative treatment, preventing posture problems from developing into further issues.
Peter Brierley, our Alexander Technique Instructor, writes…
The Alexander Technique a simple and practical method of self help that may allow the body to return to a natural state of poise and balance, regaining greater ease and freedom of movement. Poor postural habits can start in childhood through poor chairs, copying elders or by developing undesirable habits i.e. slumping, rounded shoulders, stiff necks etc. Also modern stressful living can result in our bodies holding on to far too much muscular tension. In later life we see some people ‘pulled down’ and shrinking in height. The human body is a wonderful machine designed to be kept in balance but if we habitually distort our skeletal frame and musculature this may cause health problems and detrimentally affect our quality of life. We all have the freedom to change so why not book a £5 taster session with Peter to find out more.

I have been going to Attend2Health for many years to address various back and joint problems. All of the chiropractors and … More osteopaths I have seen have been brilliant, as are the reception staff. In the past few months osteopath Meghan Carolan has been helping me with a problem with my right shoulder which was very painful and had limited movement. Following my last visit my shoulder is now almost fully functional again and the pain much reduced. So many thanks Meghan.

On separate occasions earlier this year, I suffered a painful trapped nerve in my arm. I saw physio Joanne the first time … More and osteopath Meghan the second. I received excellent treatment and advice from both and with just a couple of sessions they sorted me out each time. More recently Meghan has been treating me for very painful sciatica. Initially I was in agony and could barely walk, even with the aid of a stick. I had one treatment a week and by the third session I was virtually out of pain and walking normally. Meghan also gave me specific exercises to do at home and was a pleasure to talk to. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I have problems in the future. Big thank you to Meghan! And to all the staff at Attend2Health who make it a friendly, welcoming place to visit.

Having hurt my back on holiday I went to Attend to Health for first time and saw Megan the Osteopath and I can't speak … More highly enough about her. She has been amazing. After 4 sessions she has got my back back to normal. Having limped in there 4 weeks I am now walking properly.
Can't speak highly enough about Megan and she's such a lovely lady and always has a smile on her face.
As I left She said "keep doing your stretches!". And I will.
