Through the Alexander Technique and Somatic Experiencing, Anna Furman helps you get to the root cause — not just the symptoms. Published researcher, MD-recommended, serving the Boston area for over a decade.
You don't need to know what method you need. You just need to know something isn't right.
Pain that keeps coming back no matter what you try — massage, chiropractic, PT. We find the underlying habit causing it.
Hours at a computer have changed how you hold yourself. We retrain your body to sit, stand, and move without strain.
Shoulders always up by your ears? Jaw clenched? Your nervous system may be stuck in overdrive.
Musicians, singers, athletes — when tension holds you back from your best work, we unlock what's in the way.
Racing heart, shallow breath, can't relax even when you want to. We work with your body to find calm.
Recovering from injury or surgery? Prevent re-injury by changing the movement patterns that caused it.
Tried everything — PT, chiropractic, medication? Research shows AT can reduce pain and even eliminate the need for painkillers.
Back pain, balance changes, recovery — the Alexander Technique supports you through pregnancy and into motherhood.
Movement feels effortful, unstable, or restricted? Learn to move with less strain, greater stability, and renewed confidence.

"This is a powerful modality that can not just improve or resolve lots of different pains but can improve performance and treat a number of functional mechanical problems. It is also one of the essential longevity techniques for anyone who has even minor spinal or postural issues."
Anna and Dr. Kogan co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on body-based methods for chronic pain and frailty prevention, published in the Explore journal and indexed in PubMed.

I'm a published researcher, certified Alexander Technique teacher, and Somatic Experiencing practitioner helping people find freedom from pain and tension for over a decade.
My background as a competitive athlete, model, and as an actress with the Arlekin Players taught me how the body works — and what happens when it doesn't. Now I help others discover what I've learned: lasting change comes from working with the body's wisdom, not against it.
Based at the Center for Integrative Healing in Watertown, MA. In-person and online sessions available.
