Move Beyond Pain
with Martin Underwood
Pain & Posture Specialist | Alexander Technique
Go beyond the bits that hurt
A mind-body approach to aches and pains
My approach to pain recovery goes beyond the bits that hurt, addressing the whole body and brain together. My evidence-based method combines combine specialist pain & posture Alexander Technique, mindful movement and the neuroscience of pain (how psychology and emotions really matter for pain).
Learn to unify your mind and body, let go of unconstructive patterns of thought and movement, and move through the world with greater ease and less pain.
“Martin has changed the way I move, relieving pain and stress on my back. It's a unique approach that not only helps with physical discomfort but also encourages a more mindful way of moving through the world. If you're always rushing, overwhelmed, and it’s taking a toll on your body, give this a try.”
