She is very passionate about Functional Manual Therapy®, which is an integrated and holistic approach to physical therapy and she has been achieving excellent long term results with her patients.
More recently Alison has been studying Visceral Manipulation and Neural Manipulation through the Barral Institute. This has greatly enhanced her practice and allowed for a more in-depth treatment of the organs and the nervous system, to provide a multi systems approach to the body.
