From people who were in pain

“Before seeing Jenny, I had almost one year of lower back pain, to the point where it prevented me from working and affected my daily acts of living, like putting on my socks. I had tried many other approaches without success.

When I first went to see Jenny I had given up hope of having a full recovery. Rather, I was expecting to just get a bit more pain relief through her techniques. After 2 weeks of seeing Jenny, I was 60% better. It was so motivating. I continued to see Jenny on a weekly basis for several more months and I have had a complete recovery. As a massage therapist, my work is very physically taxing and yet I no longer have any pain. The skills I learned from Jenny will be with me for life.”

“When I came to see Jenny, she was my last hope. I was sceptical. After three months, I was cured of my debilitating shoulder pain. I had my life back.

At the time, if I was upright for more than three minutes I had severe and debilitating pain in my right shoulder. My only relief was to lie down. I drove to work with my chair tilted right back, and had difficulty walking, shopping, or even cooking.

I had been through three physiotherapists, two GPs, an MRI, two neurologists, a rheumatologist, a nuclear scan, and strong medication — none of it resolved the problem. Then I was recommended to Jenny.

After three months, I was cured. No more medication, scans, or specialist appointments. I became normal. I had my life back. My gratitude to Jenny is immense.”

“When I first started to see Jenny Thirtle for Alexander Technique lessons I was in pain all the time. It was interrupting my sleep, and most of the things I had to do during the day, including work. I had tried what seemed like every other therapy available, so was a little sceptical at first that this would work.

After the first session, I had an immediate lessening of pain and after about 6 weeks I was having long periods each day where I was virtually pain-free. My pain levels have continued to improve to the point where pain is now rare.

The Alexander Technique has also changed my thinking where pain is concerned. I no longer panic when I get pain, but just try to work out how I can help myself and nine times out of ten I succeed. As a result, my general anxiety levels have also improved.

Jenny is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. She is a great teacher who has changed my life!”
