Whether you are seeking relief from chronic back pain, navigating a demanding professional life, or a musician refining your craft – I help you identify and change the postural habits that cause tension, allowing you to move, perform, and live with lasting ease.

Unlearn Tension.
Unlock Freedom.

Let me help you to identify the habits that hold you back and rediscover a natural state of poise and ease.

Freedom from Pain

Stop managing symptoms and start addressing the cause. Learn to change the habits that are causing your pain.

Improved Posture

Posture can’t be improved by “sitting up straight.” Rediscover your body’s natural support system to sit, stand and move with greater ease.

Cope with Stress

Stress manifests physically. Break the cycle of “fight or flight” by identifying and dropping the unconscious tension habits that keep you on edge.

Better Breathing

Stop the unconscious habits that limit your breathing. Clear the interference to allow for a free, rhythmic, and unimpeded flow of air.

Elevate Performance

Gain the competitive edge. Whether on stage, the field, or at work, improve your coordination, fluid movement, and technical precision.

Confidence and Poise

Project confidence through a balanced physical presence. Move with a sense of calm authority and grace in any professional or social setting.

Lesson Information & Fees

Return to Natural Poise and Movements

Your body is designed to move with ease. We identify the habits that have gotten in the way of that natural coordination.

Improve Self Awareness

We start by identifying the specific, unconscious habits of “bracing” you bring to everyday activities. You begin to recognize how your background noise of tension is actually a choice your body is making.

Break Habits

Real change starts with a moment of non-doing. You learn the skill of stopping—inhibiting your immediate, habitual reaction to a stimulus so you can prevent the tension before it even starts.

Restore Poise and Flow

Without the interference of chronic tension, your body returns to its natural design. You stop “forcing” good posture and instead allow your inherent structural support to take over.

How We Work

This is a one-to-one learning experience. Through a combination of verbal instruction and specialized, hands-on guidance, I help you retrain your nervous system to choose ease over effort. We apply these principles directly to your life—whether you are sitting at a desk, performing on stage, or simply moving through your day.

Evidence Based – Recognised by the NHS and backed by clinical trials (such as the BMJ study) for the long-term management of chronic back and neck pain.

The Global Standard – Trusted for over 120 years and taught at institutions around the world such as the Royal College of Music, Julliard, The Royal National Theatre etc.

Lessons for Real life – No need for specialised equipment or gym clothes

Safe and Effective – We use very gentle touch and lessons are tailored to your individual needs

Finding Lasting Relief From Back Pain

Most back pain is exacerbated by unconscious habits of tension. Rather than just treating the symptoms, I teach you how to identify and release the postural patterns causing the strain. It is a self-care approach that puts the power back in your hands.

Unlocking Natural Coordination

“Good posture isn’t something you ‘do’ – it’s something you allow. We move beyond the rigid ‘sit up straight’ advice of the past. By releasing the internal brakes you didn’t know you were pulling, you regain a level of poise and mental clarity that stays with you long after the lesson.

See How It Can Help You

Find Your Path to Poise

The Alexander Technique is a practical skill for anyone looking to move, work, and live with greater ease.

Physical Health & Mobility

Address the root cause of chronic tension and ‘wear and tear’ on your joints. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simply want to reclaim the fluid, natural coordination of your youth, this is about moving with ease rather than effort.

Stress & Mental Clarity

Stress manifests physically as ‘bracing’ and shallow breathing. Learn to recognize and release the unconscious patterns of tension that cloud your thinking and drain your energy, leaving you calm, centered, and more resilient.

Performance & Potential

Remove the physical ‘interference’ that limits your skill. Perfect for musicians, athletes, and professionals who need to improve functioning, avoid injury, and access a higher level of presence and technical precision.

About Peter Robinson mSTAT

I came to the Alexander Technique for the same reason many of my students do: I wanted to take control of my own health.

Before qualifying as a teacher in 2008, I struggled with chronic back pain, RSI, and arthritis, trapped in patterns of poor posture and excessive tension. Discovering the Alexander Technique didn’t just relieve my pain — it gave me a way to regain balance, poise, and freedom of movement I thought I’d lost.

As a professional musician and staff member at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), I have a deep interest in helping performers achieve their potential without the physical cost of tension. But my work isn’t just for musicians — whether you’re an office worker, athlete, or simply someone who wants to move with more ease, my goal is the same: to help you unlearn the habits that hold you back and rediscover the natural freedom and comfort in your body.
