I have been a client of Tom Bedford for over 15 years. Tom is professional and is genuinely motivated in getting your symptoms resolved as quickly as possible so you are pain free. I have received 100% improvement EVERY time I've received treatment from Tom over the years. My most recent treatment was this week when I had severe pain and restricted movement in my left shoulder caused by a rotar cuff impingement. Tom diagnosed and treated my left shoulder resulting in instant fuller movement of my shoulder and drastic reduction in pain - thank you Tom! I would recommend Tom to anybody considering consulting an osteopath as he is compassionate, professional and fantastic at his job.

Fantastic service from Ben Davies. Came for a back massage to address persistent stomach pain when other approaches hadn't worked. Ben was very professional and I really appreciated the fact that he made the effort to research further to find out what massage treatment would be most useful Very happy to recommend.

Tom Bedford is very experienced and during treatment he was genuinely interested in reducing the discomfort that I experience with my neck pain.

Fantastic! Pain has vanished, can't recommend enough.

My husband bought me a massage by Rebecca after the recent birth of our child. The first time I went, Rebecca was excellent at identifying the problems with my back I have encountered postnatally - and found some new areas of strain I hadn't yet noticed! The standard of the treatment was very high, and the results have been excellent. I will be returning!

The masseuse was courteous and professional. Within a day I felt like a new person.

Its effectiveness - I stopped hobbling and was able to bend and touch my toes after the treatment

I came to see Tom with a back pain that I had grown used to living with for several years, it made me grumpy and miserable and I thought that it was something that I had to live with. After three treatments with Tom I am pain free and this has changed my life considerably.

I was able to get an appointment on the day of phoning. Awful head pain after 1 session and within 24 hours the pain had gone. Big thank you to Mr Tom Bedford for putting me out of my misery.

I have had a pain in my hip for around five years and this would begin to hurt after walking just one or two miles. This would cause me a lot of discomfort and as a keen golfer this would often trigger during the middle of a round; which was quite unpleasant and distracting. I saw the Osteopath Tom and explained that the pain was like a severe ache that would increase with distance and continue to hurt for the next 24hrs. Tom had an idea to what the problem might be (tight muscles deep inside my buttock) and sure enough after examination this was the diagnosed cause. Tom worked to loosen the muscles and gave me a stretch to complete at home three times a day (30 seconds each time) until our appointment a week later. I played golf pain free for the first time two days later and found all week that the pain in my hip had decreased by around 90%. The next appointment demonstrated that the muscle had loosened up drastically thus resulting in less pain. Tom worked the muscle again and advised to keep t

I came to the practice after my first really bad migraine episode and pain that I felt was becoming unmanageable. I have been seeing Corrine for osteopathy and she has been so helpful and reassuring in suggesting a sustainable roadmap for dealing with my immediate pain and more long term issues that I will have to continue to manage. Vanessa suggested a course of massages to get me back on track. While attending to the new migraine related pain I was having in my neck she also helped me to unpack some of the other more persistent pain patterns I was having. The time I have spent with Vanessa has really helped me turn a page on how I understand the muscles that cause me pain but also how the mind and body are very much connected. Vanessa takes time before every session to understand how you are feeling in your body and mind and I feel that as well as physically feeling better after every massage I also learn something new and acquire better coping mechanisms. One part of this has been to use breath in the sessions but also as a tool that I can use to help with both anxiety and back pain. I feel like I am finally getting help to make genuine progress with disruptive pain I thought I would always be dealing with on my own. I feel really supported by the clinic which has made me feel much more optimistic after a distressing health episode. I would highly recommend it to anyone feeling anxiety and/or pain.

I have seen various members of the team, and all provide an excellent service. I have multiple issues with my body due to various sports injuries, but the team always get me back on track. I always get feedback on how to maintain the healing process as well. I would highly recommend the team!

Been suffering with a lower back pain for about 18 months on and off started to get more frequent so booked an appointment with Tom very professional made me feel really relaxed and talked through every process with lots of information I had 3 appointments and with some home stretch routines to do my back feels amazing thank you Tom so much

I can't remember when I had my first visit to the practice and saw Tom. What I can remember, however, is the amount of pain I was experiencing and the relief after just one session. After one or two more sessions I was pain free. Prior to visiting Tom, I had been to a number of other practitioners where the treatment seemed to go on forever. Tom is excellent at explaining the cause of pain, what he is doing to resolve the pain and what I need to do after the session to improve my recovery. Apart from his professional skills Tom is a very warm emphatic individual who has a natural ability to create an atmosphere of calm and confidence in the midst of whatever agony a patient might be experiencing. I would highly recommend him and the practice. I have visited since he opened after lockdown and I can confidently say that the practice has taken every precaution possible to ensure risks are well managed.

It's was amazing. Huge thank for Corrine. She has helped me to back do things i love running and playing football after several years of back pain . I think she got magic hand .She was very kind and professional. The receptionist was very helpful. I will highly recommended her.

I asked Chris to unknot my back and he did just that. Very helpful suggestions for exercises too. Would thoroughly recommend.

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.
