Today Rachel, our Principal Osteopath and owner of Orchard Osteopaths is celebrating 35 years in practice! 🎉⭐
In 1991 shortly after graduating, she set up by offering free treatments for a fortnight from the then Health food shop in Holyrood Street. After she moved to Tawstock for 8 years before setting up Chard's first Natural Health Centre in 2003! 🌿🤲
Still going strong, she and her clinic moved into their current home at Ravensworth House in 2013 and Orchard Osteopaths was born! 😁
Her level of experience and knowledge continues to grow, treating each patient with adventurous detective work to find the source of any given condition. She has gained confidence, resilience and life long friends throughout her career - not to mention some sore thumbs too, though shows no signs of stopping anytime soon! 😏
With all the decades of individuals who have passed through her hands, she continues to be grateful to you (the patients) for putting your faith in her training and experience. She would not have the thriving Centre today, with the extensive range of therapists, Osteopaths and Musculoskeletal practitioners available had it not been for you! So for that, Rachel sends heartfelt THANK YOU to you all~ 🩷
