Alastair began his career in bodywork as a student of remedial/therapeutic massage in 1981. He became a practitioner of the Bowen Technique in 1995 and has taught Bowen since 1997, introducing Bowen into countries such as Norway, Italy, Spain and Cyprus. (Bowen is a bodywork therapy that gently stretches the fascia.)
Alastair has created and developed many bodywork techniques and taught these in many countries around the world. His work for the treatment of scar tissue (MSTR®) is probably the most influential of all his techniques. His team of twenty instructors offer MSTR® training in 16 countries in 8 languages. He now lives and works in Germany and teaches internationally when circumstances permit.
