Livelong Hyntle Barn Clinic

Fantastic experience: Fantastic, Tom just knows how to fix me

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Tom after struggling with tennis elbow and some general bodily grumbles, he took the time to fully understand my situation and addressed the issues right away. I appreciated having processes and my body explained in a way I understood and I felt complete trust in his ability and knowledge. Not being local to Suffolk, he even took the time to find me some reputable practitioners nearer to me and some exercises to support my recovery. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I first went to see Tom after roughly 6 months of knee pain. After going through multiple physios and seeing no results, I decided to see if Osteo therapy helped instead. After the first session, Tom identified a cause of pain different to previous diagnosis and within one session the pain was reduced by 90%. I was on the verge of dropping out of my upcoming marathon and with a few sessions at Livelong and with Tom, I got to race day in one piece and feeling a lot better. The dry needling in particular has been (without sounding too dramatic) life changing for pain reduction. I could not recommend the clinic more, particularly for those stubborn injuries that you have not been able to shake.

Fantastic experience: I had servere sciatica and had been to see a physiotherapist with no relief A friend recommended the clinic and I have had a few sessions with Archie with fantastic results. I can thoroughly recommend him

Negative experience: I made an appointment with Mr Tom Perry on the 27/11/2025 Because I was suffering with shoulder and arm pain. My appointment was £70 for 30 minutes. The 30 minute session was confirmed by his secretary, who made several errors on my booking which I had to keep calling her back to rectify. The £70 session lasted only 14 minutes. He quickly assessed me and I lay down on the bed and he put three acupuncture needles into my back and shoulder, and left then in there for about 10 seconds! I’ve had acupuncture over the years many times and they need to be left in a lot longer than that. Tom then continued to do one manipulation on my shoulder and back. And then a second manipulation on my neck, which at the time did not feel right. And that was it, he quickly started talking about booking me in for a follow-up appointment even though I still had half of my session left. With the Remaining time, I thought we could’ve done some massage or anything. Anyway, putting all this trivia stuff behind which is just poor practice. Throughout the course of that day, my neck began to become very sore, And by the time I went to bed, I was in agony with very severe nerve pains pulsating from my neck down both arms! I did not sleep Thursday night Friday night or Saturday night as I was in absolute agony! I ended up going A&E Hospital in Colchester on Sunday morning As I could not bear it any longer, I left hospital that afternoon with a bag of opioid drugs That should at least help me sleep and they advise i see my GP first thing Monday morning. The GP assessed me and confirmed in their opinion I have this trauma to my spine and put me forward for an emergency MRI which I was told could take months(Of course, because it’s the NHS) I could not carry on like this for a month so that same day I phoned the Holly House Private Hospital as the pain was so severe I could not wait any longer! I had an appointment Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning I was booked into Harley Street spine hospital At 9 am! At 9:30 I had an MRI scan done on my neck, Which showed that I now have trauma to C5 and C6 disc in my spine in the neck region which Tom manipulated, and is badly inflamed and also now has a bulge!! At 1:30 pm the same day I was laying down on a bed in theatre and a very skilled surgeon Performed a x-ray guided nerve Block directly into my C5 & C6 Disc of my spine! I also had several other injections into my shoulders and my trapezius muscle to release the tension that Mr Perry has caused to my neck and upper back. Luckily, for me, this procedure has worked for the time being and the nerve pain has been suppressed in the hope that it gives enough time for my disc to recover by itself. I did have a follow-up appointment with Mr. Tom Perry for the following Thursday, the 4th of December.. To which I called his secretary and explained everything that’s gone on with the pain in my neck and I will not be attending and how much agony I’ve been in since my visit. And I Hadn’t slept for days because of it! And a big part of the reason I am leaving this review apart from trying to save other people the pain and troubles that I’ve gone through. Is the fact that Tom never even bothered to call me up and find out if I was okay what had happened? There was zero due diligence on his behalf, which I find absolutely disgusting. Not even a, “ come back, come Come back for a free appointment so I can assess what’s going on?” Not even a courtesy refund for the trouble he has caused me in such a short period of minutes we spent together! These procedures at Harley street cost me over £3000 that day Which I had to pay out of my own pocket because I have no health insurance!. That’s not factoring in the time I’ve taken off of work the pain that I’ve been through the emotional mental stress this has caused me, The potential ongoing problems it may have caused to my body... Hence why I leave this review in the hope that people think twice and look down other avenues before jumping straight into a practice that is not really even medically recognised treatment.

Fantastic experience: Tom Parry has always been exceptional, has helped my dad over the years with his back, my mom with her elbows and myself with knees. He is always thorough and explains every stop, not only is he amazingly professional but he is also personable. Chats with Tom are like talking to a friend, he can jump on any topic and discuss it for the whole appointment time, this creates a much more relaxed environment and appointment. Tom doesn't believe that your age should dictate your lifestyle, he explains and shows how our body can heal and get stronger with movement, workouts and few life changes. Victoria is an amaaaazing masseuse, i go to her every time my back feels tight and heavy, after having a massage with Victoria you will feel like your body is made of jelly. She always makes me feel comfortable and ensure the pressure applied is good, as well as listens to my issues and where i need the most amount of attention. I recommend Hyntle Barn clinic to every person I know, from walking in and being personally welcomed by name, the amazing service, the attention to our needs and the warm goodbyes i cannot recommend this place enough. Every appointment is worth every penny, because no stone is left unturned when it comes to treatment. Thank you Hyntle Barn team for being amazing, thoughtful, caring and hard working, its never unnoticed.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Professional and experienced.

Fantastic experience: Tom is obviously a professional, very experienced and knowledgeable health practitioner. Went to see him on the recommendation of my wife with a neck /shoulder / arm problem which he quickly diagnosed, explained and treated. Amazing !

Fantastic experience: I had a massage with Victoria and it was great. I had some serious knots in my shoulders and she was really thorough in working my muscles and relieving my stress. I also loved the massage she did on my legs too and left feeling a weight had been lifted from my body.

Fantastic experience: He is the best osteopath in Suffolk, Tom Parry. As a professional, he does a great job. Whenever I have issues with my back or anything that doctors from my general practitioner can't help with. Tom always knows how to relieve my pain in 2-3 sessions. A few years ago, I joined his clinic and he really helped me with my back pain. As a professional osteopath in Suffolk, I highly recommend him. Tom, thank you for your help. Kate

Fantastic experience: THE BEST OSTEOPATHY IN SUFFOLK! I was sat in the waiting area of Hyntle Barn Clinic yesterday and a fellow patient asked if there was closer clinics to me (I had just driven 50 mins to get to my appt) and my answer was “yes” …”but, this guy is the best”. I’m 51 and have had mobility issues since my pregnancy 27 years ago I spent years of visiting various Osteopaths, Chiropractors and Physical Therapists around the Suffolk/Norfolk area- trying to find some help. Then, I walked in to Tom Parry’s treatment room! The visit was for a neck injury caused by an RTC (rather than my chronic condition) but immediately the clinic ethos felt very different. The most noticeable differences were- 1. I was able to keep my clothes on (as long as there were no jeans). I had always hated how vulnerable I felt in just my pants and a gown! 2. I was not asked if I wanted to buy multiple sessions at a discount. This always seemed odd to me- how do you know I’ll need sooo many sessions? 3. Acupuncture was used as part of my appointment (and boy does it make a difference) 4. I was asked about ‘me’ and not just about my body and my physical pain. The service you receive from this clinic is never purely transactional. Every individual appears to be recruited on the understanding that they also have empathy and share the same ideology as the founder. 15 years on and Tom and his team at Hyntle Barn now offer supporting/complementary healing treatments that fully embrace the mind, body and spirit.. the WHOLE PERSON. I have been busy finding what works for me including B12 maintenance, Red Light Therapy, Treatment for Peri-Menopause, deep tissue massage, Pilates and in 2024 my family and I attended a Wim Hoff course with Tom (who was trained by the man himself!) We all now use the breathing techniques on a regular basis to help with any stresses and strains that life throws our way. I wasn’t allowed to use the ice baths, but my son and DIL both braved them and each noticed significant relief (for at least couple of months) in terms of its anti-inflammatory benefits. My chronic condition is never going to be fixed, but the osteopathy treatment alone keeps me mobile, keeps me working - keeps me living. Thank you to Tom, Rachel, Marianne, Archie, Tori and the rest of the team for all of your fantastic support. Louise

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, Archie for osteopathy and Charlie for sports massage keep me upright and functioning and always smiling!

Fantastic experience: Tom is great, I feel a lot better after just 2 appointments

Fantastic experience: Osteopath appointment with Elaine Everitt. Very knowledgeable, good listening skills and treatment to date feels like it’s going to make a difference.

Fantastic experience: Archie was outstanding, the support he provided and identifying and treating my issue were first rate! Reception were very considerate and attentive too!

Fantastic experience: Tom Parry IS the man to treat you …. My Achilles was so bad , and after some other physio , he re-aligned my body and gave Acupuncture with , now, a FULL recovery. Thanks Tom.

Fantastic experience: Lovely clinic, and they were especially amazing when I needed a last minute emergency appointment as I was having a back spasm.

Fantastic experience: Lovely ambience at the barn. I have been seeing Kelly for sometime, she is personable, professional and I would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: First time visiting this very friendly clinic. Treatment was brilliant - felt so much better walking out then I did walking in!!!! Thankyou Archie

Fantastic experience: Great place, fitted me in at very short notice and helped get me back on my feet!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Livelong for a number of years and have received nothing but amazing service whether that be from the Osteo’s, Bowen therapist, sports masseuse’s, Pilates instructors or from Amy with vitamin injections. All staff, including reception, are incredibly supportive and friendly and take your well-being seriously.

Fantastic experience: Can't thank and recommend, Archie and his colleagues here enough. Would highly recommend there services to all. Very professional and friendly team.

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic reformer Pilates session with Hollie. She was very friendly, explained everything very well and tailored the exercises to my needs as we came across them. The clinic was beautiful and a pleasure to attend. I’ve booked my next session already.

Fantastic experience: Had my first ever Osteopath appointment with Kelly this week, and she was great. She put me at ease when I first arrived, and really knew her stuff, allowing her to get to the root of my problem. The practice is smart and welcoming, and certainly gets a recommendation from me!

Fantastic experience: Found this practise on google. 1st appt today with Archie, He was interested in my medical history and my injury. I felt confident that I was in capable hands. He assessed my injury and did some massage and acupuncture at this appointment. Going forward has recommended a course of treatment. Very relaxed and friendly place.

Fantastic experience: First time at this clinic and what a find. So welcoming, bright and fresh (and smells great too!). Kelly is a superb Osteo and had me diagnosed and fixed in no time. My new go-to for my regular injuries.

Fantastic experience: My husband & I have been seeing Tom for the last 7yrs, initially at his practice in Long Melford & the last 2yrs at Hyntle Barn. We love the Barn practice, it is such a welcoming, calming space & we always feel uplifted after our visit. Tom is a knowledgeable & committed practitioner whom we now consider to be a valued friend. I thoroughly recommend a visit to check out all of the therapies & treatments available, to us it is a little piece of paradise.

Fantastic experience: I'm a regular customer and cannot fault the attention to detail and the welcome - always warm and caring. Really appreciate what they do.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending here to maintain mobility and back problems. I have been able to continue to play golf and bowls thanks to the treatment I have received from Tom. Would thoroughly recommend for back problems.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant treatment from a highly professional team. Clear explanation of causes as well as the treatment and exercises. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: i enjoyed my first visit to Hyntle Barn Clinic - great idea to have so many therapies under one roof - very accessible for my wheelchair - nice people and interesting therapies on offer - i am looking forward to going back

Fantastic experience: Lovely space to visit, it felt well as I walked in. I was made to feel welcome by receptionist and the owner. I was seen by GS, osteopath and felt comfortable and confident with her. I am hopeful she will ‘sort me’ Only reservation was I could hear conversations in other rooms, so not altogether confidential.

Fantastic experience: This was my first experience. Tom was excellent explained everything to me made me feel at ease, and helped relieve the pain.

Fantastic experience: I had an accident and broke my back, left leg, both ankles and feet. When I was away from my Rehab centre I would visit Hyntle Barn once a week for some supplementary manual therapy/scar treatment and sports massages. The staff are on point with advice, superb at their job, experienced, and genuinely focused on how to enhance/facilitate your recovery. I would strongly recommend anyone who has some issues big or small to pay them a visit, they certainly have helped me along my journey. Of course, they are all super friendly too!

Fantastic experience: It’s great to go to see a therapist and feel confident in them straight away. Archie had a really comfortable presence and the treatment seemed really effective. I got a much better result than I was expecting so so glad I booked. Will definitely go back for follow up and support to manage issues.

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Tom Today. He was kind, knowledgable and thorough. I feel so much better already and am looking forward to the progress in my fitness and movement. Thanks

Fantastic experience: This has probably been stated before, but I'll say it anyway (as an autistic adult). Paul Donnelly is a FANTASTIC Podiatrist, and the other staff at Livelong are equally as kind and polite. I had never had the courage to see a Podiatrist before this year, and Paul came highly recommended, with good reason. He was patient, attentive, explained everything in a calming manner, and I look forward to my follow-up appointment when he will fit me with my custom orthotics.

Fantastic experience: Livelong has been wonderful from day one. I’ve been seeing Georgia for two years now originally due to a back injury. The clinic was recommended to me by a colleague after physio , gp couldn’t help. Georgia got me back on my feet and I still see her monthly to keep me in check. Not only has she helped with my back but also my migraines. I see her now more for my overall well-being. The team are always there to help even when I’ve needed a last minute appt due to neck pain, I’ve been seen by Kelly, who is just as lovely. The team are all lovely and I cannot thank them all enough for making a very nervous patient feel extremely comfortable. I even recommended my best friend who after seeing Georgia once said it was the best money she’d ever spent. Keep being amazing. And thank you x

Fantastic experience: Today I made my 1st visit Livelong and I have to say I was very impressed not only with my treatment,but the whole experience

Fantastic experience: I did Wimhof fundamentals with Tom last weekend. He was brilliant and so informative about the process we were going through. I would recommend the course to anyone wanting to do Wimhof breathing technique and cold therapy for the 1st time.

Fantastic experience: Phoned lunchtime, offered an appointment that afternoon. Very professional service. Clean, welcoming reception and polite receptionist. Archie was professional knowledgeable and didn’t want to give a fake diagnosis until the results of a scan have been received. Made to feel relaxed and reassured even though I was in pain. Didn’t feel pressured into further expensive treatment.

Fantastic experience: Always great treatment and service. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Myself and my Husband decided we wanted to try something new, Wim Hof Method delivered everything and more we found it fascinating and extremely invigorating. We found Tom delivered the experience above and beyond & so knowledgeable. I highly recommend this experience. It was also interesting to see all the other courses and treatments offered at the Barn Clinic.

Fantastic experience: Lovely clinic in beautiful surroundings. My daughter has been seeing Mr Donnelly for a few years now and he has always gone above and beyond to help with her over pronation.

Fantastic experience: Amazing appointment today with Paul the Poditrist who is awesome, really understood the problems I was facing, diagnosed root causes and explained in a way I could understand. So glad I came.

Fantastic experience: Being a Complementary Therapist I do know about the importance of the Person Centered approach. I feel Tom and myself we have the same approach where we look for the emotional component as well when treating. I am really happy that someone is finally giving me that 'space' to be able to heal after my 20 months old car accident I've been involved in. Thank you Tom Tunde

Fantastic experience: Very impressive centre, impressive practitioners, look forward to doing more their, reasonably priced for the standard. Will be going back regularly.

Fantastic experience: There is such a great, positive vibe at this clinic and the modern decor is very refreshing. Archie is highly accomplished and has many approaches to offer for effective treatment. I love the collaborative and proactive focus on healthy living!

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Hyntle Barn for about a year now and have found the staff extremely helpful and professional. I see Charlie on a regular basis for massage and I couldn't recommend her enough! Mary-Ann, the receptionist is absolutely lovely snd more than helpful when making bookings. I would never go anywhere else now!

Fantastic experience: This practice was recommended to me by a friend. Although now in my 70s, I had never suffered with any joint or muscle issues until just over 3 months ago when I was suddenly hit with severe knee pain and stiffness which made it extremely painful to walk any distance or go up and down stairs. Archie thoroughly examined my legs from ankle to thigh and immediately reassured me that I had developed an "arthritic flare up" which could be dealt with and shouldn't need any long term treatment apart from some occasional maintenance. After 4 visits spread other 4 months I am now almost back to normal, feel reassured and have regained my confidence to be fully active once again. Archie has been thoroughly professional, explained everything in detail and provided the appropriate treatment and exercises to get things back to normal. Well suited premises and friendly staff all of whom I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Long standing lumbar spinal issues which needed a fusion 8 years ago. Originally I had Bowen treatment with Laura when she was mobile & then when Laura joined Livelong at Hyntle Barn I transferred to having treatment there. It is always a very welcoming, clean & well run clinic & recently when I had a big flare up of symptoms Laura got Tom to come in & assess me too, he also then treated me. A real multidisciplinary team, can't fault them in any way & nothing ever seems to be too much trouble.

Fantastic experience: I have had RA for over 20 years and never thought of seeing an osteopath, however, now I’m more mobile and more informed about my condition. I see Becky as and when we both think I need to be seen. She explains exactly what she is doing and has given me exercises to do at home. I have also seen Paul the podiatrist who made me some amazing insoles. I have also seen tori for Hopi ear candle treatment which was amazing. I attend Pilates every week in a small group which has helped my mobility. The great thing about livelong is that all the different professionals work together and in a holistic way. They don’t just treat my RA but all of me. I have such a positive outlook now thanks to all the staff at livelong

Fantastic experience: What a team! They enable me to meet the physical demands of our business, to keep going. I benefit from a number of the practitioners, recommend each of them.

Fantastic experience: Have been a patient at Hyntle Barn Clinic since they opened and prior to this had been a patient of Toms for several years. Premises wise - easy to find, ample parking ,clean modern building . Staff very friendly helpful and very professional. Not only used regularly for physiotherapy/ osteotherapy but also hopi treatment , podiatry treatment and pilates classes . There are also online courses etc on breathing and general body care which helped tremendously not only in lockdown but are still available .

Fantastic experience: i have treatment with many of the practitioners at this clinic from the oseopaths, massage therapists and pediatrist - they are all very professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. they have helped me with pain and tightness through many a year.

Fantastic experience: Amazing team of professionals ,helped my husband with his back and my daughter with stress , can thank them enough .

Fantastic experience: Prompt and efficient treatment for ankle injury. Great team. Highly recommend this clinic.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff that will see to your sporting and hairdressing injury needs.

Fantastic experience: We recently attended the Wim Hof course. I wasn't completely sure what to expect but I was massively impressed. Tom was a great instructor and is very knowledgable in this field. It was a great mix of practical experience and science behind the methods. Great job, I would highly recommend, even if you are a complete newbie. Thanks team, we will be back again

Fantastic experience: I am competing in 8 Ultra marathons of 100km each within 4 months and came to Tom after I had an injury during the second one. I had been to physios before but they had not fully solved the problem but Tom's holistic approach and in-depth knowledge has proved invaluable. Not only did he address and fix the original injury, he has ensured I have been able to complete the following ultras not only injury free but with the strength to train in-between as well. The Wim Hof breathing and ice sessions are also amazing and made a huge difference.

Fantastic experience: I have used the team here several times and each time they put me back together again! What I like about their approach is that they are trying to ensure they tie all their services together to see a bigger picture of your progress. Mine included (it needed many elements to get me back run racing again) - Hollie's feedback after Pilates sessions - Notes Torie took during sports massages of where there were issues - Paul the Podiatrist who then provided solutions to correct issues in foot placement which causes back pain issues -Resulting in Jim the Osteopath being able to treat me accurately for the back/neck pain. This process has proved really effective for my condition and the fact it is all under one roof has helped greatly both in speed of treatment and clarify of information passed between therapists. Thanks all.

Fantastic experience: Excellent clinic for a holistic approach to back neck and posture problems. Really helped me get over a very painful pinched nerve in my neck with osteopathy and acupuncture. Also used the sports massage and that was excellent. Small group Pilates classes for prevention round off the excellent care here.
