4 Seasons Complementary Health Practice

Joanne trained in osteopathy at the London School of Osteopathy for five years, at first studying anatomy and physiology, in depth. Later subjects included pharmacology, radiology, patho-physiology, psychology, clinical methods and differential diagnosis. Osteopathy itself, both theoretical and practical was studied alongside these, including many hours of clinical practice.

Osteopathy is a holistic therapy which works on the musculoskeletal system to help the body invoke its own self-healing properties. Osteopathy began in America in the 1800s, founded by Dr Andrew Taylor Still. He lost three children to meningitis, unable to help them even though he was a medical doctor.

I have had a recurring back injury for the last 18 months which left me with a back ache and numbness in my thigh. I had one session with Joanne which released the pain and, although sore the next day, I have had no pain or numbness whatsoever since. I had been experiencing pins and needles in my fingers for a number of weeks and after meeting Joanne Larner at a Business Meeting decided to attend for a consultation with her.
