ATBodySense is an Alexander Technique business servicing Geelong and the Surfcoast.

Dedicated to achieving long term results for our clients, our skilled Alexander Technique practitioners will give you the guidance needed to manage health issues from chronic pain and illness through to helping you with posture, performance and general well-being.

What is the Alexander Technique?

Alexander Technique teaches you to locate and eliminate unnecessary patterns of muscular tension and collapse throughout the body. Your Alexander Technique practitioner will guide you through movements that establish new neurological pathways and effect fundamental change in the whole system.

Through teaching effective ways of using your body, Alexander Technique can help prevent pain, poor posture and inhibited movement as well as unlock the potential for your body to perform more efficiently and dynamically.

Why try the Alexander Technique?

Whether you are recovering from injury, illness or looking to enhance your performance, being aware of postural tension in everyday life is the first step to making your body work better for you.

What to expect

Looking at the way you stand and sit - an activity we do hundreds of times a week, standing and sitting is a great way to look at habits of tightening we are unaware of. Clients learn to identify ways of achieving good posture in standing and sitting that are easy, light and natural.
We work with you lying on a table - a great way for reducing stress levels and helping our clients discover and eliminate layers of unnecessary tension.
Looking at activities in our clients’ lives - we observe and give expert guidance on activities as diverse as public speaking, running, weight lifting, working at the computer and more. Whatever your interest or high frequency activity we can help you get your body working in harmony.

From our clients

We have earned the trust and satisfaction from many clients by providing reliable, high-quality service. See what they're saying.

The practice appears subtle but is very effective and regular sessions with Kate have helped improve my posture and reduce neck and shoulder tension. She has also supported my recovery from surgery and accidents with movements and 'homework plans' that encourage healing whilst maintaining flexibility. Kate's approach is educational, caring and professional.
