James Crow, Posture Expert Avis 

James offers a great service and really practical advice, especially for improving and maintaining your posture whilst sitting in front of a laptop and day-to-day activities such as sitting, standing, walking and even cycling!

James is excellent at getting to the root of tension and postural problems, and he has taught me a lot about my own tendencies, so that I can avoid pain and stay flexible. He is patient, kind and puts people at ease. I never hesitate to recommend him to everyone I know!

I had tried a cpl of other AT practitioners before I found James, and he is highly recommended. Extremely knowledgeable, effective and skilled, this is always an hour well spent

I've had Alexander Technique (AT) sessions with James now (regularly) for over 2 years.

Each time I have an AT session, I feel taller with good posture and it lasts. I also practice the exercises sent to me and I read the great books!

I have been to a few different AT teachers over the years and in my opinion James Crow is one of the best - easily up there in the top 1%

Highly recommend him as an AT Practitioner / Teacher & I have done so.

Every time I have an Alexander session with James I feel rejuvenated and somehow taller. And it lasts. Several years after my first session my neck pain is considerably improved and I feel much more in control of the problem. He's also easy to talk to and fun to be around. Highly recommended.

Thanks to James my sleep has improved massively, my stress levels have reduced and my neck pain and tightness is gone!

I really enjoyed my first session with James, he is friendly and very helpful. I am already looking forward to my next session!

Over the past ten years I've tried many different treatments (physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractor, acupuncture etc.) to fix / manage my reoccurring chronic lower back problems, but none of these were nearly as effective as the treatment I've had from James. Since treatment with him started my back has been better than I can ever remember it being. I never imagined I'd be back to 100% when it came to sport and physical training, even distance running and even dead lifts! But James has done a very good job of not just treating the problem but also helping me manage it with better posture and habits.
Also he is a very nice chap to talk with, and I really enjoy the sessions.
I couldn't recommend him more highly!

Wonderful to be able to get back to seeing James - felt realigned and lighter - all Covid safe 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

James recently helped me get my home office set-up better for my back and posture via a virtual meeting. I found it really useful to identify how to use my new sit/stand desk properly so I can work standing up. His personable style and clear way of explaining what I needed to do and why it was important, helped me understand and implement the best home office set-up for me to help me prevent future problems. I would recommend James to support anyone needing to sort out their home office set up. Thanks!

I liked the way it was constructed into modules, so you could spread it over different sessions if preferred. I did it all in one go, and thought the instructor’s ‘straight to the point’ approach allowed a lot of content to be delivered in just half an hour of tuition. I also liked his visual demonstrations, using a skeleton to illustrate the relationships between various joints in the body, and the practical tasks he dropped in, to maintain engagement.
What I learnt was, actually, my posture and workspace set up are really good, I just need to maintain awareness of them through the day to avoid bad habits creeping in!
I would recommend this to colleagues.

James is a fantastic Alexander teacher. He has been patient in supporting me in learning about how to move (and think) differently. His insights and deep understanding have been invaluable, ensuring our sessions are a constant progression.

I've worked with James for around four years now. He is a superb practitioner -- very experienced and with a deep sensitivity to the body and its marvels -- but also carries this all with a light touch and a sense of humour. Alexander Technique with James can feel like exercise, therapy, relaxation and a coaching session all at the same time! It's also been great to work with James remotely during the lockdown -- he came up with some inventive and helpful ways to keep practising and to help me keep in good shape whilst working from home. I can't recommend James highly enough!

Whether it is a face to face or online session it is always a pleasure to work with James.
His Alexander Technique sessions are relaxed & informal but at the same time professional, informative & effective. Highly recommended.

Many thanks to James. Posture, back and piano playing much improved over the five years of summer school lessons

Enjoying the sessions I am having, they are effective and interesting with the quality of audio and video making it as if James in the same room.

Really easy to embody what is being taught and great to practice whilst being given guidance in the comfort of your own home.

There is a plan and structure to the lesson and after it has been completed I always effortlessly continue what has been learnt because it’s so easy to learn and presented simply.

It’s helping me to stop harmful movements in everyday activities, I can see and feel the difference.

I recommend you try it.

It is always beneficial to reconnect with James to review principles of the Alexander Technique.
Until next time....

The Alexander Technique session from Jame Crow helped me find out the poor posture of playing which I haven't noticed. I became to be more aware of my body since a small movement change does prevent the muscle soreness and make my piano practice more efficient.

My 10-year-old daughter, who plays piano went to James'Alexander Technique class two year ago for the first time. James gave her some exercises to avoid tension in her playing, and to relax her hands, especially the left hand. Those exercises are so useful, my daughter is still doing that.

Brilliant, friendly and focused support.
