TESTIMONIALS

My lessons with Gary in the Alexander Technique have helped my tennis game enormously over the past 7 years. My arthritis in my hips has stabilized and I am able to play for hours without any pain. I love the serve that Gary taught me, based on the effortlessness exemplified by the Alexander method. I am moving better than I have in years and still try to keep up the weekly lessons with Gary.

I am a tennis pro and I am on the court for long hours daily teaching tennis. My lessons with Gary in the Alexander technique have literally saved my career - I had a terrible tennis elbow, couldn’t even hit a ball, and by learning a better, more natural way to use my body while teaching tennis my tennis elbow disappeared. Also, learning the technique has made me a much better tennis teacher because I have been able to see things in my students in terms of body use, tension, and effort that would not have drawn my attention previously.

This morning, I feel great. I believe that I owe you a debt of gratitude. I am 60 years old; I played hard for two hours last night and woke up pain-free. The Alexander Technique lessons that you gave to me privately after muscle tears in my shoulder and right arm and subsequent group sessions at Sea-Glen Tennis Club have me hitting harder and feeling better than I did 30 years ago before I knew you.

If I didn’t know better, I probably would be a veteran of at least two unnecessary surgeries by now. I remember after I tore my rotator cuff the first time, (was it 10 years ago?), and Dr. Capobianco repaired it. You showed me how to adjust my overheads and serves to take the stress off the vulnerable area. Likewise when I ripped it again several years later. In another spot, after repairs, you helped me again with Alexander Technique. You have been helping me for so many years, first with “stress-free” tennis and later with Alexander Technique, that I almost forget how many significant injuries we have ameliorated with proper attention. The Alexander Technique is so subtle and yet so effective.

Gary, we have been friends for over 25 years. In that time you have helped me love tennis more than ever, and I could easily beat “the me” from 25 years ago with what you have.

I have taken lessons with Gary for over 30 years and he has shown me how to hit the ball effortlessly My back pain which gave me problems for years is gone and I love playing and striking the ball.

I have taken tennis lessons with Gary for 20 years Gary has shown me how to apply the principles of the Alexander Technique to my game which has given me repeatable and consistent strokes. The game is really fun for me to play and I can’t wait to get out to the court.Without his help I would never be able to play at the current level I have achieved.

Gary combines his tennis experience with a deep understanding of human movement No one is more qualified than Gary to teach effortless stroke mechanics Without Gary’s help I would have a very shallow understanding of proper tennis technique.
