The Alexander Technique Studio
Sheffield and Manchester
Hello and Welcome
I am Lucy Ascham a highly experienced teacher of the Alexander Technique, my practice was established in 2003 and covers Sheffield and Manchester. I am a fully certified, insured member of STAT.
Do you experience poor posture, aches and pains which limit what you are able to do in any day? Are you looking for a lasting answer to these problems? Have you tried various treatments and therapies and nothing has worked? Do you want to discover a process to replace any unhelpful habits and patterns which may be at the root of your back and neck pain?
Would you love to move more freely, with less pain, and more enjoyment? Read on because there is information here to help you release unwanted tension so that you can rest, sit, walk and play with more fluidity and ease.
I have a dedicated Studio upstairs at my home @ No.9 Armthorpe Road, Nethergreen, Sheffield, S11 7FA.
I am at Bodywise, within the Manchester Buddhist Centre, M4 on alternate Fridays.
Children under 16 will need to have an adult stay with them. As learning is done through imitation and repetition, its best to learn together.
Lessons are like music or language classes and need practice outside the sessions to be most effective (20 minutes per day). I provide all the equipment, just wear comfortable clothing and come ready to learn, be surprised and discover more about yourself.
Learning is tailored for your individual needs, activities and interests.
Some of the benefits of investing in a course of lessons include:
- reduce musculoskeletal pain
- prevent joint deterioration
- increase flexibility, stamina and energy
- improve circulation and breathing
- maintain balance and poise
- reduce stress
- look and feel more confident
- increaser stature and presence
- cultivate a healthy, positive attitude
- learn tools and skills for life.

… to get started
Since 2003 I have helped hundreds of clients to learn a process to find a lasting answer to their musculoskeletal pain – primarily in neck, back and shoulders using my unique approach I have developed.
My unique approach:
- identify the causes of your aches and pains – and what you can do about it
- re-learn how your body works
- reduce tension and release energy
- restore harmony, integrity and healing to your body-mind system
- transform painful posture into freedom and poise using my unique safe, gentle and guiding touch
- easy exercises and everyday movements to strengthen your body, nervous system and emotional resilience.
What’s in it for You?
- Your spine can regain its full natural length, with ease, even when moving
- Your head can find its own delicate balance, from moment to moment, reducing tension
- You can learn how you may interfere with your natural balance and coordination (Habits – know thyself!)
- You can learn to undo this interference for more freedom of movement
- Your breathing can be easier, so you’ll have enough fuel for what you are doing
- You may find calm where there was previously stress
- Learn something about yourself you didn’t even know you didn’t know
- Meet your emotions, body and self in a fuller and kinder way
- When things get difficult, learn to slow down, to savour the moment and experience yourself fully and with better coordination and less background tension.
