I graduated with an Integrative Masters degree from the European school of Osteopathy in 2014. I have always been keen in helping others and having received Osteopathic treatments as a child and following sports injuries, Osteopathy was for me the best filing profession. Since I graduated, I practiced as Osteopath in Kent for three years in three different Osteopathic clinics. I have now relocated to Southend-On-Sea and have been building my Osteopathic clinic since March 2017.
As a fully qualified and registered Osteopath, I use osteopathic techniques such as manipulations, articulations, soft tissue massage and stretching, as well as cranial osteopathic treatments, Kinesiology taping and Dry needling in order to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and health problems with the aim of helping recovery and preventing further occurrences. I provide treatment and care for people of all ages from newborns to the elderly, as well as pregnant women, sports people, athletes, office and manual workers.
I am also a sport and exercise nutritional advisor and offer sport nutrition consultations (See "Sport nutrition" in the menu section)
I can offer consultations in both French and English.
To satisfy the code of ethics and standards, I am fully registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOSC) and fully insured with the institute of Osteopathy. By law, I am also committed to continuing professional development.

She has a particular interest in treating women around a special time of their lives - pregnancy. She likes to closely accompany women on this journey, both before and after giving birth.
Generally, she treats a variety of conditions, from low back pain to frozen shoulder or sciatica. But she noticed that recently, neck, shoulder pain and headaches related to work and stress are increasingly common, and she does get great treatment results and feedback.
Madiha thoroughly enjoys being an osteopath, always trying to establish positive relationships with patients, and trying to bring the best possible results. It gives her a sense of contentment when she sees her patients improving and finding health back again.
