My son had been misdiagnosed with short achilles tendon for years. After discovering this we tried to get help in the country we live but success was marginal. As my daughter was very happy with the treatment Tom Bedford had given her, we made an appointment with Summeara. I was impressed with the progress she achieved in just three sessions. My son stopped twisting his ankles and knees when walking, started walking with his knees apart and can even run well. His mood improved and he is smiling more frequently now. Summeara heard my concerns and reassured me that what I'm doing is correct. She helped me understand that if my son's body suffers his soul will suffer too, and his confidence is as important for his health as all the sports he is trying at. I'm grateful and will do my best to go back to her whenevervwe are in the UK.

I have used Tom since 2007 and the first thing I do when I arrive every summer from the U.S. is to make an appointment to sort out my pain from several surgeries. I ALWAYS feel much better! I've never found anyone as good as Tom--from the U.S. to the U.K. Thank you!

I had suffered from pain in my lower back for a prolonged period of time and it came to a head when I was reduced to tears in a yoga class. A friend recommended that I see Tom for some treatment; after one session the pain in my back had almost completely vanished and after two I felt like a new woman. Since having treatments with Tom I've been back doing things that I had avoided due to the constant low level pain that I was suffering. An excellent practitioner who, unlike some others I have come across in the past, doesn't encourage you to undertake any more treatment than you actually need. I have no qualms about recommending him, or the practice, to everyone that I know.

Review for Ben Davies - Trigger Point massage therapist After 10 years of severe hip and shoulder pain, where I struggled to walk during a flair up, I was feeling at a loss. During this time I had engaged in multiple different treatments, trying to resolve my physical health issues and get my life back. However, during that 10 year period, no practitioner from either the NHS or private health clinic was able to offer me a clear diagnosis or treatment plan which worked. Feeling at a loss, I did a little more research of my symptoms on Google , changed tack and decided to try trigger point massage. Step in Ben Davies, who has changed my life . Saying he's changed my life is a strong statement, but its true. He was the first practitioner to really understand my pain and develop a treatment programme that has brought about real results. I now walk without severe pain, and every visit continues to improve my mobility, whilst reduce my pain level. Ben is very skilled at his work and has a very caring

The service was so friendly. The receptionist was lovely and helpful. I laughed all the time on the table - and had a good conversation about the world. When I walked in I was in pain from back ache and my right ankle was swolen. After a couple of sessions I had more mobility and less pain Summeara was helpful with a medical report and I thoroughly recommend her.

I had an car accident and got neck pain after the accident. After sent an email i decide to come in person to get more information. Luckily Tom's free this afternoon, so I had my treatment right a way. It was quick and effective. Like tom said, it was painless!

On both occasions I booked an appointment for treatment with Tim I was very impressed with his manner and expertise. He treated a trapped nerve and within the first treatment there was an instant difference. Since, I have recommended him to two friends who have also found great success with his treatment

Very efficient friendly and welcoming staff. Very informative throughtout treatment of issues and treatment,

I have recently had a Osteopathy session with Tom Bedford for my arm.I can feel the difference after the first treatment.My Doctor couldn't even diagnose the problem but Tom figured out after checking my arm symptoms that it was tendonitis.Hopefully a few more treatments would make it better.

Whenever I have a musculo-skeletal problem (hip and shoulder in the past) I always think of coming to see Tom first, so when I developed a painful ankle problem which made me limp and was starting to give me knee and hip pain too I made an appointment. After the first session Tom resolved the immediate issue to the extent that I was able to walk the 2 miles back to my office without pain! One follow-up appointment to reinforce the treatment and advice about future management and I am 'signed off'! I have recommended Tom to many friends, family and colleagues over the years and will continue to do so. He is always friendly, professional and the treatments are always really effective!

I came to Emily initially to help with anxiety and insomnia, and after each session I always feel much calmer and relaxed. Although not my original intention when coming for acupuncture, she has helped regulate my menstrual cycle which has been totally irregular for over 20 years as I have PCOS. In the 8 months since I started seeing her I have regularly had a period each month - it’s incredible! I couldn’t recommend her treatments highly enough, she has such a warm, calm and caring character and makes you feel totally at ease. I am totally converted to acupuncture and think the benefits of it are amazing!

This feedback for Tom Bedford is 12 years late, but maybe all the better for it because of the long-term benefit I've experienced. Tom treated me in 2007 for lower back pain. I was prone to back spasms, usually leading to at least a fortnight's pain and discomfort, which could be quite severe. Three years of chiropractic treatment had brought only temporary periods of relief. After two visits for treatment, Tom uttered the memorable words "I'm going to free you from the clutches of treatment." He taught me simple stretches to do morning and night and we talked about back management. Since then, my painful episodes have been much less frequent and also less severe. I returned to playing cricket, which I had feared I would have to give up because my back felt too vulnerable. I do the stretches religiously and have not needed to return for any further treatment. I owe Tom many thanks indeed!

Thank you so much, Summeara, this was brilliant. Summeara was professional, friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly an expert. I decided to book an appointment with her as none of us are getting any younger (I'm 62) and I was beginning to experience a few aches and pains after gardening, housework or being on my feet all day at work. She gave excellent treatment and sound advice and suggested I see a massage therapist every three or four months. I felt much better immediately - my joints felt so much freer and even my teenage daughter noticed I was 'walking taller'!

I saw Summeara and oh my! What a difference she made. The Iffley Turn Practice was recommended to me by colleagues. I came to the surgery with a very sore back, painful to be more precise. I could hardly walk. After just one treatment I was able to walk properly. I would recommend ITP and Summeara to everyone.

Absolutely amazing! After visiting my GP for back pain and almost giving up thinking nothing could be done about it I visited iffley turn practise. I was able to get a same day appointment which was fantastic. I was slightly nervous but was made to feel at complete ease by Tom who was so professional and understanding and knew exactly what was the problem. He talked me through and explained everything. After 2 visits I’ve left the practise extremely happy and he’s managed to work wonders on my back. Thank you Tom!

Amazing service and amazing care - I walked out a different person!

Professional, confidence-inspiring, calm, clean, thorough.

I attended the mindfulness training, it's been a fantastic course enabling to focus on the present moment. Course is teaching relaxation techniques and is introducing to the meditation which is amazing. I would highly recommend to anyone. Shame it only runs for 4 weeks. Very good value for money. Can't wait for the top up class.

Really excellent, professional and effective acupuncture treatment

I have been having acupuncture with Sam for a few years now, on and off as I have needed and will continue to do so. I have complex medical conditions that have required a lot of thought outside the box, which hasn't been possible within conventional medical practice, (which I still believe there is always a place for, but also has its limitations like most things!) but the holistic approach and positive outcomes I have received through the acupuncture and being able to communicate so easily with Sam has been invaluable to me. She is a caring, extremely knowledgeable, and a very professional down to earth and skilled practitioner who has helped me on so many levels. It is a joy to be treated by someone who is passionate about what they are doing and truly cares about their patients. I cannot recommend highly enough.
