Align Osteopathic Clinic – Osteopathy & Physiotherapy in Fleet & Hampton
About Us
At our Fleet and Hampton osteopathic clinics, where we provide osteopathy & physiotherapy treatments, our philosophy to treating patients is to utilise a holistic approach. Instead of just addressing short term issues, we will look and help with posture, re-assess the types of exercise you do and your overall health, in order to treat the source of the problem. Our treatments are designed to address the problem whilst also focusing on preventative care and long-term solutions. This means we use hands-on treatment, work on postural improvements and prescribe home physio exercises. If a more comprehensive exercise programme is required or you simply enjoy these forms of exercise, we have tailored one to one Core Conditioning classes available at the clinic.
About Tishani
I founded Align Osteopathic Clinic in June 2012 following 4 years of studying my osteopathy degree and having taken time off travelling Asia and Australia. Since then, Align Osteopathic Clinic has grown and flourished into a leading practise in the area.
My skills as an osteopath range from treating babies and children to the elderly. Being mainly a structural osteopath, I combine a wide range of soft tissue techniques, articulatory manoeuvres and gentle manipulations to encourage the body to better health. I also practice Cranial osteopathy which allows me to feel and see the body in a different form which is particularly successful for babies. Since having my own children, I have also completed post graduate training in babies and children.
As well my strengths in paediatrics, I also enjoy treating pre and post natal women, general headaches/migraines and chronic back pain.
Since my teenage years, I have always had an interest in sports which led me to initially to want to become a physio. It wasn’t until my mum was seeing an osteopath for a neck injury, that I decided that becoming an osteopath was calling my name! Outside of osteopathy I have a keen interest in Yoga and Pilates, and spending time with my young family.
I am a registered member of GOsC – the governing body of UK Osteopaths, which has strict codes of ethics and professional conduct.
