Angela East (LRAM ARAM MSTAT) is a fully qualified and experienced Alexander Technique teacher based in Streatham (South London), offering one-to-one lessons and introductory workshops.

The Alexander Technique is a method for changing harmful patterns of tension that cause a wide range of common problems. By addressing the cause of a problem, it is possible to achieve a long-term result, whereas painkilling remedies usually provide only temporary relief.

Offering a wide range of benefits, you can use it to:

• Become free from back, neck and joint pain
• Improve your breathing, posture and confidence
• Improve your speaking voice
• Reduce stress
• Improve your specialist skills in sport, music or drama
• Have a more comfortable pregnancy and manage your labour
• Learn to drive more comfortably

Angela specialises in working with musicians as she is one herself and has studied movement in great detail. The application of the Alexander Technique to one's performance can make it more powerful and dramatic, with an increase in volume and quality of tone.

On the medical side:

Clinical trial results published in the British Medical Journal on 19 August 2008, show that Alexander Technique lessons provide long-term benefit for chronic back pain sufferers.

"Of all the approaches tested, 24 Alexander Technique lessons proved to be the most beneficial." (BMJ 2008)
