Still Trying to "Sit Up Straight"? Here’s Why It Won’t Fix Your Pain
For years, we've been told to solve posture problems by adding effort. But what if the real solution is to subtract it?

Trusted by hundreds of happy clients since 2007. Every session has a no-questions asked guarantee – feel better or your money back.
You’ve tried it all, haven’t you? The endless stretches. Maybe even expensive ergonomic chair. The constant, nagging effort to force your shoulders back and sit up straight. Yet the same familiar ache in your neck, shoulders, or back always returns.
This is the frustrating cycle of pain, and it’s driven by a hidden psychological quirk: the Action Bias.
Our brains are wired to believe that to solve a problem, we must do something. Action feels productive. The problem is, when it comes to posture, the “action” of forcing yourself into a “correct” position often just adds more tension on top of the tension that was already there.
It’s like trying to fix a traffic jam by honking your horn. It feels like you’re doing something, but you’re just adding more noise.
Hi, I’m James. I’m a fully qualified Alexander Technique Teacher, working tirelessly since 2007 to help you ditch the pain, improve your posture, and feel comfortable in your own body again.
I specialise in hard-to-beat pain and posture issues by helping you figure out why you’re in pain – and then helping you make the postural and behavioural changes that will leave you feeling great again – just like your old self. I work with people from teenagers all the way through to 80’s (it’s never too late to start!)
You can find out more about me here, or read my mountain of good Alexander Technique reviews here (I stopped collecting them years ago!).
I also run an Ergonomics company called Posture Stars, helping companies and individuals to get comfy at their desks, either at home or in the office. For this reason I can only see a very limited number of people each week.
Because I like to see people for an intro-session first, I can check I’m happy to work with you (and vice-versa!) So book in for a trial intro-session, I guarantee you’ll feel the benefit, no need to pay if you don’t. So there’s nothing to lose, get started now.
The Alexander Technique isn't another action to add to your to-do list.
It’s a practical skill that teaches you how to notice the habitual, unconscious actions that are causing your pain, and simply… not do them.
It’s about learning to subtract the interference.
Instead of fighting gravity, you learn to work with it. Instead of forcing a shape, you learn to release the tension that’s pulling you out of shape. The result isn’t a rigid, military posture, but a dynamic, easy poise that can adapt to everything you do—from sitting at a desk to walking in the park.
I understand the frustration of ongoing posture issues. Having dealt with my own posture challenges, I’ve dedicated my career to helping others overcome similar issues and find ease and comfort.
My guided sessions help you to unlearn harmful movement habits and replace them with natural, balanced ways of sitting, standing, and moving. You’ll feel lighter, stand taller, and move more easily.

About Alexander Technique Teacher James
My Story
Pain and bad posture at work, using a laptop, were making my life a misery.
Then I discovered a GP in Leicester who showed me the Alexander Technique.
Straight away I was hooked!
I quickly took back control of my own posture, instead of relying on other people to fix me.
My pain levels vanished and I started to live life to the full.
Now I help others enjoy learning this life-changing method – it’s the best move I ever made.
I love being my own boss, and seeing the transformation of my clients from pain to freedom.
You can’t beat it!
