Brookend Osteopaths Description
Here's a little more info so that you can get to know me a little better!
I've been an osteopath for 15 years now. After graduating from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 2002 I started studying at a post graduate level with the Sutherland Cranial College of Osteopathy (SCCO) to increase my knowledge and skills in the use of the very gentle Cranial Osteopathic techniques.
I enrolled on the SCCO pathway because I found these techniques so subtle yet effective, and have just two of the 10 modules left to complete. The modules that I have already done include specialist Paediatric courses which consolidated the training and experience that I had gained working with a very experienced Osteopath at Albert Road Osteopaths in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
In 2008 I completed my Masters in Animal Manipulation (Osteopathic Pathway) (using Cranial and other osteopathic techniques) and began to treat horses and dogs alongside working in two busy human practices. The horses that I had at that time became experts in all aspects of osteopathic assessment and treatment as I honed my skills practicing on them!
In 2013 I increased my knowledge of all things baby and children related by having my first baby. He was followed in 2015 by a little brother. They have both enjoyed regular osteopathic treatment from a very early age (48 & 36 hours old! ! ) and I'm sure that it has helped them grow into the happy, funny and energetic young boys that they are today!
There is no way that I could have learnt what I now know about feeding, sleep (or lack of it), prams and car seats without their help! They have really helped me understand what challenges parents of young children are facing! !
If you have any questions about how osteopathy might be able to help you, your family or your four-legged friends then please give me a call or drop me an e-mail. I am very happy to arrange a free 15 minute appointment to provide you with an introduction to how osteopathy may help you, your family or your animals.
I look forward to meeting you soon,
Ali

I’m really sorry to let my clients down this morning 🙁 but I’ve had to make the decision to preserve my car. I made it over half way to Carmarthen but the roads are awful. Amazing to see the so many people out helping to clear blocked drains. Stay safe everyone. #stormcallum #needa4x4 #orstilts

I’m planning on being fit enough to do the long swim next year (I managed the short one this year 😀). If your aches and pains are holding you back from a new challenge then give me a call to see if Osteopathy might be able to help you. #osteopathyworks

“I've been meaning to drop you a line to thank you for helping me through a challenging period with my back.
... Since my treatment in May my back has been fantastic and I've been able to do all that I needed to and some.
Many thanks for working your magic, I'll be in touch to book an MOT soon.”

My 8 week old daughter suffered terribly with colic never being able to be put down and frequently getting about an hours sleep a night. After a lot of midnight googling and as a bit of a sceptic I booked to see Alison. She was extremely realistic and honest about her treatments but after a single session I can honestly say the results were amazing. I was able to lay my daughter down happily and smiling which was unheard of previously! Sleep improved also and she is generally a much happier baby! We still have colicky moments and nights can still be long but that’s to be expected and we’re still only one session in! I am excited to see the results of the next treatments, and am enjoying being a mummy a lot more! Thank you Alison x
