Testimonials

"I came to the Alexander Technique following hip replacement surgery.

Fran Robinson immediately identified my need for re-alignment and took me through a course to re-learn the efficient way of using the body.  The process of re-education I found fascinating and very rewarding, both physically and mentally.

The Alexander Technique is invariably sensible and practical, not easy; re-learning requires practice, I found, but Fran is a sympathetic, dedicated teacher of the Technique which she has practised for many years." Clover Hartley-Sharpe, Dorset

"The Alexander Technique with Fran Robinson has significantly helped with managing fatigue, as well as greatly improving my posture." Josh Geffin (music student) Wimborne, Dorset  

"The Alexander Technique has helped me liberate myself from the shackles of habitual use, allowing freedom of thought and movement to resurface once again…." Stephen Smith, (Librarian) Manchester

'Through Fran’s directions and guidance in the Alexander Technique I have learned to identify the habitual tensions I had been living and struggling with, leading to a new freedom in movement. The Alexander Technique has also opened doors for me to address physical challenges such as Running, Swimming and Pilates in a safer and more co-ordinated way and has especially helped me in overcoming my anxieties in speaking and presenting in public thus greatly enhancing my job prospects.'  Adrian Pearson, Parkstone, Dorset

At 64 years of age and with many years of back trouble behind me I was looking for a solution in which I could take a proactive role. The Alexander Technique makes me feel that I am doing something useful and challenging to help myself.
Fran's positive encouragement and gentle support have been vital in this process. She provides the rock on which you can safely build, as you progress steadily through the technique.            Val Maddison, Devon
 

Learning the Alexander Technique has enabled me to develop a positive approach to my arthritis and particularly to my back pain.

The arthritis will not be cured, but I am now more aware of how I can carry out certain movements using muscles more consciously.

My teacher Fran has consistently given encouragement and I am motivated to keep going so the Alexander Technique will become a way of life.                                                              Hilary Lawrence, Retired Nurse
