Alexander Technique provides a simple, practical method for improving ease and freedom of movement, balance, support and coordination. It teaches you how to create a new balance in the body by releasing unnecessary tension and to only use the appropriate amount of effort for an activity, thereby giving you more energy for other activities.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a non-invasive technique which helps to remove excess fluid and waste products from the body quickly. This is done through a specialised form of massage which helps stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the flow of fluid out of the affected area into an area that drains normally.
Massage can help to promote physical and mental relaxation and stimulate the body’s vital energy to encourage circulation and lymphatic flow. The therapist will adapt the techniques used to suit your individual needs after your initial consultation.
