OLNEY HEALTHCARE CLINIC - Key Persons
Alan has over 27 years in osteopathic practice since graduating from the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy, now the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM), in 1991. He has practiced in various osteopathic and orthopaedic clinics, including a private hospital sports injury department. Over the last 22 years he has taught at five osteopathic education institutions in the UK and Scandinavia, and currently lectures at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London.
Alan is also a Certified Practitioner of Pilates for Rehabilitation, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Certified CHEK Exercise Coach. Prior to studying Osteopathy, he lectured Physical Education and Human Movement Studies and has a wealth of experience in sport, exercise, movement science and rehabilitation. He combines structural and cranial osteopathic techniques with a naturopathic and holistic approach to treating the individual and combines elements of corrective exercise, yoga and Pilates-evolved exercise.
In 1984 Fiona graduated from the British School of Osteopathy.
Alongside Paul Mason, she then set up the Olney Osteopathic Surgery.
In October of 2009 Fiona moved the clinic to its current position at 9 High Street, Olney situated conveniently for the Milton Keynes, Northampton and Bedford areas. This is where she, with the help of her husband John Croxford, the director, decided to incorporate other practitioners into the business. Thus the Olney Healthcare Clinic Ltd was formed and continues to give first class care to all of our clients in the to this day.
Fiona works quite traditionally as an osteopath using manipulation and articulation but she also enjoys incorporating dry needling and cranial osteopathy. She has vast experience and knowledge in working in office environments to give advice on ergonomic assessments.
Fiona has also spent many years working osteopathically with horses and dogs along with other animal and bird varieties. Sadly, due to the lack of hours in the day she has now had to limit this aspect of her Osteopathy work as periods spent out on the road are inevitably periods spent away from precious therapy time.
Fiona is still an avid horse rider and over the years she has practiced martial arts to a good standard and enjoyed windsurfing to name just a few of her favourite sports.
As with all of our practitioners here at Olney Healthcare Clinic, Fiona strives to continually keep herself up-to-date with modern developments and practices in her field.
