What the Professionals say .....

"During my career I have met many young and mature hairstylists whose careers have been marred with the discomfort of back pain.  The role obviously entails standing up for many hours each day and bending over clients to style hair.  As a manager of some of London’s leading hair salons this often results in lost man hours and disappointed clients.  I was amazed by the results achieved when practicing the Norris Technique and over the years have recommended it to various colleagues and clients to stunning effect.
 
"The Norris Technique not only enables the individual to look and feel better but also gives them control of their physical health which as a great effect on their emotional health too.  I have been a fan of the technique for over 10 years and practice it myself daily.  I have always been amazed by the dedication and personal touch the Norris Technique teachers share with their student.  Pat Norris is an inspiring individual whose energy is unique and whose passion for her work is outstanding, in fact where is her OBE!

"I can highly recommend the Norris Technique."

"As a GP, I often am confronted with patients who suffer chronic pain as a result of the consequences of poor posture.  Slumped upper backs, over-curved cervical spines and mal-aligned lumbosacral regions all frequently lead to pains in neck, shoulders, hands and low back.  I have in the past referred patients to you, from all ages (I think the youngest was about 14, the oldest in her 60's) and both genders.  My feedback from these patients has been positive (they found it helpful), and my workload has been alleviated because these people have had reduced  need for my services as a result!

"No treatment is a panacea, and many patients prefer to find a cure in a pill or treatment that demands no effort or change on their part.  There are, thankfully, still many who desire the tools to regain control of their health, and these patients are the ones who I feel confident will be able to make the most of your valuable Technique.  It is quick to learn, straightforward, and (like brushing one's teeth) deceptively effective.  Practised, it can transform the experience of many with the symptoms derived from poor posture."

Dr W H E Warrilow, MB ChB, DCH, BSc (Hons)

"In its teachings the Norris Technique strives to achieve anatomical symmetry, the cornerstone to our posture and general well being.

"With enthusiastic and informed teachers, lead by the inspirational Pat Norris herself, this simple and easy-to-follow method for body alignment will challenge and enrich each participants physical and emotional intelligence.

"From foot pain through to headaches, the Norris Technique has the potential, via simple mechanical postural correction, to restore sagittal balance and reduce myriad discomforts, either in collaboration with other therapies or as a stand-alone intervention."

Rebecca Crawford, Physiotherapist, Anatomist and Lecturer

"Posture is such a crucial element of healthy living that I believe everybody should be exposed to some form of postural advice. The advantage of the Norris Technique over other methods of postural training is that it sets realistic goals which are attainable by anyone in a relatively short space of time.  Pat Norris has, over the years, produced an incredibly powerful distillation of many styles and approaches and has come up with a unique method which really empowers the doer. I have noticed significant and lasting improvements in my patients who do the Norris Technique and recommend it both professionally as an Osteopath and on a personal level to my friends and family!"

"Your are truly amazing - and you don't need me to tell you!  I thoroughly enjoyed the day and feel like a new chapter of my life has begun.  I am sore, tired and completely elated.  Thank you.  I now aspire to have a body like yours - at least as flexible as mine can be."
