Alexander Technique-Eleanor Rosenthal

If your in any discomfort Eleanor Rosenthal can either help you or tell you what you need to do to help yourself.
I personally have an occasional problem with sciatica. I’ve had more success with her treatments than a chiropractor.
I have meniscal problems and they are also relieved by her manipulations and adjustments.
She is a master (mistress) in her application of Alexander & Visceral Treatments.

Eleanor is truly a master of her craft. I left her office with a light step in my stride. I find anyone whose worked in a single trade for a long time either go stagnant or continue to hone their skills to higher levels. I think we all know which one applies here.

I first learned about Alexander Technique (AT) a few months ago from a friend who’s been doing it for about 30 years. I suffer from chronic neck and shoulder tension and also osteoporosis and I dread ending up with a hump (like my mom). Many people apparently seek AT because they are actors or musicians… that is not me. I just wanted help with physical problems.
I researched local teachers and then called Eleanor (after emailing and talking to a couple of other people). We talked for a bit and I may have put her on the spot when I asked her why she charges a little more than some of the other people I had contacted. Now I totally understand and in fact feel like she should be charging more than she does. For one thing, she not only teaches AT, but does cranial-​sacral and visceral manipulation therapy. I’d never even heard of visceral, but it makes soooo much sense to me now. As my friend said, she always thought that AT and cranial sacral would be a great combo.
Let me pause here to say that I have been in and around alternative therapy for a long time. I came to California 30 years ago to study massage myself (I pursued it briefly) and I now do Reiki (not professionally). I’ve done everything from massage to acupuncture to biofeedback to herbs and more … so I think I have developed good instincts as to a practitioners talents and qualifications.
Eleanor’s hands are magical. You would have to experience it to understand. She is open, receptive, clear, honest, experienced, gentle, direct, sensitive… I am at the beginning but am feeling very optimistic about not only being rid of the chronic pain and tension, but about being to function better in all areas of my life.
I am so excited about working with Eleanor. I feel truly blessed to have found her! If you are considering doing AT, and want to talk with me further about it, please feel free to contact me. I would love to share my newfound knowledge and enthusiasm with you.
