What is an Alexander Technique lesson like?
In a series of sessions, muscles that have been substantially misused or underutilized are gradually re-trained and strengthened. A typical Alexander Technique lesson has several components, including:

​

Chair Work. The student is gently guided by the teacher while sitting and standing. 

​

Table Work. The student’s neck, spine and limbs are gently guided by the teacher while laying on a raised flat surface.

​

Walking and other habitual movement. The teacher gives real-time feedback regarding the student’s “use” of their body during everyday activities...

"As a veterinarian who has practiced equine musculoskeletal adjustments and acupuncture for over twenty years, I am well aware of the impact of proper posture and biomechanics. Thom has been able to assist me in re-establishing my proper balance and posture in the midst of the challenges I put my own body through in my work."

"I literally limped into Thom's office, and was able to walk out. Now I experience much less pain, and have learned to use my body differently at work. When my back does begin to bother me occasionally, a lesson with Thom fixes the problem."
     - Dr. James DiGiacinto, DDS

“My work with Thom Lemens resolved my pain issues from two serious injuries. It has also resulted in a deeper and quieter seat on my dressage horses, and helped me make dramatic improvements with my riding students.”
