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

Thomas is an excellent all-round masseur who is not only technically precise but also strategic in his approach.

Very good - informative of what has happening and reasons for pains and movements. Located problem quickly and my pain was relieved before i even left the practise. I was given stretches for home treatment also. Professional, I felt comfortable and in safe hand. Definitely recommend this practise. Secretaries were friendly and helpful also.

The most warm, personal and professional approach at the reception. Thank you. Massage and advice fantastic. Plus you've got handsome therapist. Which doesn't matter but let's be honest - it's a cherry on the top. Foolishly I booked only half an hour, but already booked a follow up treatment. Once again, many thanks!

Tom’s treatment has and is helping me to find a way through my chronic pain which was the result of a serious traffic accident. With his quiet encouragement I have started running, and greatly increased my movements with the expectation of regaining full movement in my neck. He is supportive and clear in what he expects with regard to exercise and posture. His treatments provide immediate lessening of pain. Bliss! Somehow, his messages get through to me and in turn it seems through to my rather stuck physical responses, wiping the network clean and re-educating my body/brain. Flare ups are less, and when they do occur I intuitively know how to relax my systems and regain equilibrium and mental positivity. When I have mentioned any reports that I have read on orthopaedic injuries or the psychological treatment of chronic pain suffering, he has always interacted with my comments in an upbeat and intelligent way. It has been a very positive experience for me.

I have never needed any form of " Osteopathy", until recently. I had suffered a stiff lower back on and off for 6-8wks, as the problem was not getting better, I made an appointment with St Clements Osteopathy Practice. The problem was identified on my first visit and treated straight away, the results were immediate and after 2 visits my stiff back was no more. Thank you for a very, very professional service

I have had lower back problems for 8 years. I have been suffering with stiffness and muscular pain. I was recommended by a friend to see Tom Bedford, the osteopath on St Clements Street, Oxford. I have had four session with the osteopath and feel a lot better. I have no pain it is an great improvement, thank you!

After more than 3 years of back pain and several unsuccessful treatments I took a course of osteopathy after seeing the window display on my way to university, after just 3 treatments my back pain is almost totally gone, I highly recommend this practice

Thank you for sorting out my neck - after months of a dull headache I'd begun to accept it as normal. But a few treatments have made an enormous difference and I really am grateful.

I started seeing Tom in 2008 for lower back pain and tight neck and shoulders. After the first session I felt immediate relief. After several sessions I now see him every couple of months or so for a top up treatment. Tom always takes time to listen to what I have to say and understands immediately the often odd descriptions of symptoms I give him. The whole experience from start to finish is professional, friendly and most importantly for me you feel you are in a safe pair of hands. I would (and have) recommend the practice for anyone with back and joint problems. Tom truly has magic hands.

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.
