Osteopathy, Acupuncture & Wim Hof Method in Suffolk | Founder-Led Care at Livelong

Osteopathy, Acupuncture & Wim Hof Method at Livelong

Livelong is a founder-led health practice in Suffolk, offering integrated osteopathy, acupuncture, breathwork, and the Wim Hof Method for people seeking long-term physical capacity, recovery, and ease.

The practice is led by Tom Parry, a clinician with over 17 years’ experience in osteopathy and acupuncture, and more than 8 years as a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, having guided hundreds of people through both the Fundamentals and Advanced practices of the method.

This depth of clinical and experiential work has shaped a model of care that looks beyond short-term symptom relief and focuses instead on how the human body adapts to load, stress, and recovery over time.

A Clinically Grounded Approach to Health

Through years of hands-on osteopathy and acupuncture, a clear pattern emerges: most pain, fatigue, and recurring issues do not begin suddenly. They develop gradually as the body adapts to sustained physical, emotional, and cognitive demands.

At Livelong, osteopathy and acupuncture are used not simply to treat pain, but to understand:

• movement efficiency

• nervous system regulation

• recovery capacity

• how stress and load are being absorbed by the body

This allows care to be targeted, proportionate, and sustainable.

Breathwork and the Wim Hof Method

Alongside clinical practice, Tom’s extensive experience teaching breathwork and the Wim Hof Method has played a central role in the evolution of Livelong.

The Wim Hof Method — combining structured breathwork, cold exposure, and nervous system training — provides powerful insight into how quickly physiology can shift when the right stimulus is applied.

At Livelong, breathwork and Wim Hof Method practices are used carefully and contextually, helping people:

• regulate stress responses

• improve recovery

• build resilience without overload

• develop greater awareness of their own capacity

These methods are not treated as quick fixes, but as tools within a wider, clinically informed framework.

A Founder-Led Model for Long-Term Capacity

Livelong has evolved into a founder-led practice to allow for:

• deeper assessment

• longer clinical conversations

• clearer continuity of care

• responsibility sitting with one experienced clinician

This model reflects what nearly two decades of osteopathy, acupuncture, and breathwork practice has shown: health outcomes improve when care is coherent, unhurried, and designed around how bodies actually adapt over time.

Osteopathy, Acupuncture & Wim Hof Method in Suffolk and the East of England

Livelong is based in rural Suffolk and works with people across Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and the wider East of England who are looking for:

• experienced osteopathy

• clinically grounded acupuncture

• professional Wim Hof Method instruction

• an integrated, long-term approach to health and capacity

Rather than offering isolated treatments, Livelong brings these disciplines together within a single, thoughtful framework. Many patients travel specifically for founder-led osteopathy, acupuncture, and Wim Hof Method instruction delivered within a calm, low-volume clinical setting.

A Long-View Approach to Health

After seventeen years of clinical osteopathy and acupuncture, and eight years immersed in breathwork and the Wim Hof Method, the direction of the work is clear:

Health is not about doing more.
It is about building capacity that lasts.

That is the work Livelong continues to offer — quietly, deliberately, and with the long term in mind.
