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!

Had an acute episode of pain due to a slipped disk in my cervical this summer and neurosurgions advised surgery that would reduce my neck mobility to solve the pain. I was very reluctant to have it. I undertook physiotherapy and later osteopathy with Tom Bedford. I must say that, in my case, it helped improve immensely. I no longer have constant pain and the parasthesia of arm and hand are gone. I strongly recommend 51 St Clements services, Tom explains everything in detail while he the doing the practice, which is very reassuring and I felt always in very good hands. Reception services are very sweet and helpful.

Went to see Tom with an acute hip pain. My GP was unable to diagnose the problem and suggested seeing an osteopath. Being a commercial pilot , I also went to see an aviation specialist examiner, whom also didn't diagnose it as anything serious. After seeing Tom he said that there was something serious causing the pain, and immediately began a course of deep tissue massage. The massage bought me immediate relief and enabled me to continue working, whilst the real cause was investigated. It took an MRI scan to see the problem (on Tom's recommendation). Great service and great treatment, I would recommend his services to anyone. "Thank you".

I have recently benefited enormously from a few Osteopathy sessions with Tom Bedford at St Clements Osteopathy. From having quite considerable discomfort with a back problem, with massage and the correct exercises I was able to walk from St Clements to St Giles with "wings on my heels"! I am so grateful for my new found mobility. I highly recommended his practice.

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!

I went for a massage. But the massage left me in more pain and tightness in shoulders than i was and has left me with headache pains. Didnt work for me unfortunately.

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.

I've been coming to Chris for several months for remedial massage to improve muscle tension and headaches. He's been so helpful -- I sleep better now, my tension headaches have significantly decreased in intensity and in number, acute and general anxiety has softened, and athletic performance in rowing improved. He's always relaxed and pleasant; I never feel nervous about the session. Iffley Turn Practice is bright and clean. The only drawback? Chris is very good, and I won't go to anyone else -- this is a problem when his appointments book quickly! 10/10!

I was reassured from the very first meeting with Ben for osteopathy (which have helped me a lot, by the way)and during our conversations I learned about the Mindfulness course. It was reassuring and enlightening ..... and not at al weird :) Highly recommended.

The best £50 I’ve spent for some time! Major improvement, somewhere between completely better and mostly better, physically and physiologically a huge improvement. I recommend the practice.
