Alex Howard leads a guided body scan meditation to help release body tension and break the cycle of stress, tension and pain. Alex is passionate about making physical and emotional healing accessible to everyone through his clinic, online platforms and books, inspired by his own journey with chronic fatigue syndrome as a teenager.

The music that soundtracks Alex's guided meditation was composed by Misha Mullov-Abbado and recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra exclusively for this episode.
