About Alison:

Alison first became interested in osteopathy at the age of 14, when she watched her horse enjoy, and respond well to, hands-on physical therapy.
Following her A-levels, she embarked on a four year degree course at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) and graduated with an honours degree in Osteopathic Medicine in 2002.
During her first 18 months of work she continued with her studies within the field of cranial osteopathy by completing the first two modules on the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy Pathway.

Alison then took a year out to travel through Canada, America, Australia and New Zealand.
On returning home, she decided to combine her hobby of horse riding with her career and completed her MSc in Animal Manipulation (Osteopathic Pathway) in 2008.

Finally, in 2020, having done the first course in 2002, Alison completed all 10 modules of the pathway and have become a Fellow of the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy.

Alison uses mainly Cranial Osteopathic techniques to treat all ages from new born babies.
