Alexander Workshop Afternoon for Back-in-Action Staff Was Most Excellent

Our recent afternoon workshop with Richard Marsden, our Alexander practitioner, was very interesting, practical and relaxing.

We would highly recommend the Alexander Technique to all our patients. Richard does 1:1 sessions on Tuesday mornings and regular weekend workshops.
