​Alby at Body Rehab was the only person who was able to find the cause and solution to my back problems. He continues to support me with my health and well being. Highly recommend!

I've been trying to put into words Alby has helped me over the last few months, and it has been nearly impossible to sum up the gratitude I feel! I just wanted you to know how thankful I am Alby, you have been a big change maker in my life and guided me through some intense hurt, grief, trauma and healing. I walked into your studio feeling so broken. I was overwhelmed by emotions to the point I was at times suffocating in them. I couldn't even breathe when you asked me how I felt one day.

​My body was tense, in pain, grieving, and just overall hurting. Tapping has changed the way I see and feel about myself and my life. What I thought broke me, turned out to be one of my greatest lessons and lead me to a path of self love which is such a blessing. You let me feel safe, heard and cared for at all times, when trusting someone felt impossible for me, and through the whole healing process you never showed judgement. Thank you Alby I am incredibly grateful. You are such an awesome human, with a gift to help others. Your unconventional style, way with words and at times crack up advice/homework was just what I needed! I am looking forward to what my future holds and manifesting some good shit.

I enjoyed learning a new technique/tool to help deal with things I know I internalize. Voicing fears and identifying them and focusing on what makes you anxious and learning how to see the other side has been very helpful. I felt very calm after the workshop. Thank you.

I suffered back pain for a year and half. I had been to doctors and physiotherapists, and nothing was making it better. I also started suffering symptoms of anxiety thinking I’d have to live with the back pain forever. Then I went to see Alby and it was life changing.
Alby unlocked the build up in my back and other areas holding tension associated to the pain. He has also taught me tools to tackle the everyday stresses of life. These tools have made me feel more connected, happier and help me deal with the occasional bump in the road. Alby has something to offer anyone who is suffering from body pain or wanting to improve their physical and mental well being... or just looking to better connect with life.

In my role as a Physical Education teacher and having competed in many different sports (cricket, bodybuilding, rugby, surfing and SUP), I have received treatment from many different sports physicians. But I have found Alby from Body Rehab to be the most effective at treating both physical injuries but also mental alignment of health as well.
His holistic view to treatment is both refreshing, and inspiring. I have no hesitations in referring him to family and friends.

I can’t recommend Alby enough! When I first went to see him on the advice of a friend, I could barely walk and was suffering from sleep deprivation due to being woken with incredible pain in my knees every night. I had also come to the point where I could no longer take the prescribed anti inflammatory and was constantly taking a mix of Panadol and Ibuprofen to try and control the pain.
After my first consultation with Alby, it was truly amazing, I was walking well. When I got home, my husband couldn’t believe how much better I was, and I must say, I did not need any pain relief that night.
With regular appointments with Alby, I just kept on improving and to this day I very rarely need to take any pain relief and it only seems to be needed if I have had to clamber down the steep hill after the horses a few times, or after lugging heavy bales of hay around.
Alby, thank you, thank you, thank you!
To anyone who reads this who is suffering from chronic pain and restricted movement, go and see him. I am sure that he will be able to help you.

Alby James, I came to you through word of mouth when I felt like I was at a crossroads in my life. You gave me guidance and tools I can use for the rest of my being. Every time I left your studio I felt great. Both mentally and physically lighter and energized. You are can adapt your guidance, knowledge and skills for anyone through all walks of life. I am very grateful and in debt to you bro. You are a shining light for our community. And we are lucky for that.

I am a 75 year old woman and have suffered from twitching and pain in my legs at night for at least 20 years. Now thanks to Alby I can lie in bed at night and not have to get up 6 or 7 times. I am sleeping longer and more peacefully than I ever have. Not only has he been good for that, he has also been a sounding board for me. I have told him things I have never told a soul especially about sexual abuse in my childhood. He has a tapping technique that helps you get it out of your system and see things clearer and feel relaxed and calm about it. I would encourage any one, regardless of age to see Alby, I'm sure he would be helpful for all.

Hi my name is Phil Bonner, I’m a 58 year old who for the last 33 years been mobilizing on a dislocated hip.
As one could imagine this has been an extremely hard time. Mainstream medicine unfortunately had little to offer... some twenty surgeries with very little improvement, actually in some instances more of a backward step was resultant.
I have had benefit from acupuncture (Traditional Chinese Medicine) that lead to me exploring Qi Gong which deals with ones body energy. Even though I have an ability to work with energy and have a small business working with horses. Treating oneself is not as easy (at least for me), probably I did not spend enough time working on myself, hence I became extremely unbalanced and I was struggling living day to day. Probably not rock bottom but bloody close.
I happened upon Alby James through facebook and something resonated so I rang for an appointment. Alby actually got me to do an EFT release over the phone as I was pretty wound up, this had an instant effect in that I felt a little less stressed.
Since then I have had 10 hours therapy over the last 5 weeks. The most beneficial aspect so far is the instant psychological release that EFT delivers. I am unaware of any other single modality mainstream or alternative that can achieve the result that this treatment has given me.
This is only one aspect as I am also starting to feel a real change happening with my physical being as well, again the results so far are extraordinary when compared to what mainstream medical would achieve in this short time.
How far and what Alby can help me to achieve is not certain but if the improvement to date is anything to go by, I for one can’t wait.

The key advantages for me having Alby one on one are:
- Encourages discipline and regular exercise
-Exercise is highly varied and adaptable to your needs at the time
-There is no boring repetition of exercise as Alby keeps it fun & mixes it up
- You work hard, but the exercise is always tailored to your limits (Alby always corrects your posture to prevent injury & maximizes benefit)
-Alby’s approach is Holistic. It is about wellness, diet, discussing lifestyle choices, muscle release and exercise. It’s not just exercise

​This pregnancy workshop has definitely helped with my feelings about pregnancy and birthing, it's great to have the option to do an enlightenment workshop related to pregnancy that's not medical or "you must" do. The tapping is a great tool to have moving forward for not just pregnancy but all other areas of life. It will help me with the transition from corporate life to mum life. Absolutely recommend.

Thank you so much Alby! I'm so grateful I stared working with you. My body was extremely tight from years of working long days on my feet with bad posture and Alby has helped me so much to release tension in my legs, hips and back. I can't begin to describe how much better I feel since working with you. I was amazed at your detailed knowledge of the body, and how you communicated it back to me on our first appointment, explaining all systems of the body and how they all work together to create balance and health, and when one is out of sync the flow on effect occurs.

​I'm also so grateful for your help with not only my physical self but also my emotional self. Alby introduced me to the "tapping" technique and it has been a total game changer for me, I always knew that trapped emotions can cause pain and tension in the body but learning the tapping has been an invaluable method in validating, releasing and making more room for more positive, good feelings to take its place in my body. THANK YOU Alby I can't recommend you more highly, your an amazing guy, very caring and extremely good at what you do.

I was recommended Alby at Body Rehab by a friend as I have suffered sore shoulders, a sore back and a lot of headaches from past injuries for many years . I have seen a lot of people over the years but nothing has really helped . A lot of people I have seen patch you up but the problems always come back . Alby is the first person to look at the whole picture and look for a long term treatment not only physically but also emotionally. I would recommend Body Rehab to anyone suffering pain, anxiety and stress etc . I have only had a few sessions so far and have noticed a big difference already . Best thing I have ever done.

I came here today to let go of resentment with a situation that totally overwhelmed and hurt me. I now feel relaxed and aware of letting go, and the importance of not filling up the "emotional bag". I would recommend a post pregnancy/birthing workshop to recap on our thoughts and decision making process, to remain positive have have calmness for the baby. Thank you.

A really open positive and safe environment.
Alby helped me a lot with feelings of anxiety. I now feel at ease, relaxed and neutral about anything I was fearful or resentful about.

Failure, food, love and trust. These were all words that triggered a negative emotional and physical response in myself, it had been festering and drowning me for over 15 years. The way I had tried to deal with my abusive relationship was to turn to eating, food became my comfort, and in turn my worst enemy. I gained a lot of weight along with health problems including joint pain which stopped me from actively participating in life due to embarrassment. I also lived in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship for over 18 years which ranged from constant threats, hitting and finally rape. A few years ago I found the courage to leave, but as time went on I became to see that I still hadn’t managed to free myself from him or the damage and I was still self-medicating with food. 
Over a month ago I scrolled past a video from Body Rehab, in it Alby was talking about the connections our body holds to our emotional state. Something clicked with me, so I made a booking. Now, I do not say this lightly and I am certainly not a person who discusses their feelings or life tests with people, but I will hand on heart say that I will never regret making this change. From tapping with Alby I have learnt to stop and reconnect with who I am and to process the pain and trauma so I can let it go. I know I will never forget, but until now I had never understood without confronting it for what it was, and it was still controlling me. Through these tapping sessions and from learning and beginning fasting, I no longer feel shame when it comes to food or feel resentment towards myself when I eat. 
Words cannot articulate the freedom and the release I’ve experienced from this. This is not a one trick pony. The skills Alby is showing me, along with the love, respect and compassion without judgement is truly something that has changed and will continue to change my life for the better. If for some reason you are contemplating seeing him and learning from him, all I can say is WHY NOT? Why would you not take the opportunity to heal yourself in an environment free of judgement? In an environment where you can once again learn to love who you are. Which is truly a hard thing to come across in a world that sells itself on telling you you’re not enough. I will never regret this choice in my life.

Alby James has delivered a 30 minute workshop to staff at New Plymouth District Council as part of the June 2013 annual health and safety briefings. Over the period of two days 190 staff attended these workshops, the objective of these sessions was to enable staff to manage the effects of the physical hazards of their jobs.

These workshops were very well received by staff attending and initial feedback has been that people found them greatly beneficial for managing the physical hazards they encounter on a daily basis.  Alby has now equipped our staff to be aware of their bodies, the stress and strains it is under and how-to pro actively manage any pain or discomfort.

I highly recommend Alby James services and his ability to communicate his message in a positive way; in fact we have engaged him again for further workshops in July.

​​Wow! What a week it’s been with Alby at Body Rehab. After years of intense pain in my feet I’m finally walking pain free. Can’t wait to start clocking up some km's again. I'm hugely thankful to Alby for fitting me in at very short notice. If you have tried everything and think you are at the end of the road (like me) see Alby at Body Rehab. Your body (and mind) will love you for it!
