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.

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 limped into the clinic not really knowing what the future held for me as my foot had deteriorated steadily over a couple of years. After the first session it was clear that it was a simple matter of manipulating the area to free up movement again after ceasing up from a previous inquiry. After three sessions I have my foot back to full working order again, a huge relief and more importantly no joint issues previously suggested by convention! I cannot recommend Tom highly enough. Thank you.

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.

My mum lives abroad and had been suffering from back pain for years. She'd been told nothing could be done. Misdiagnosed as it turned out. I took her to see Tom and after one visit she's hugely improved. Tense muscles sorted out, she is able to straighten up and is happily doing her exercises. A massive thank you!!!

After suffering from sciatica for over 4 months I decided to visit Tom Bedford, and after 3 sessions I found a big improvement and was so glad to get some much needed relief to my sciatica problem. Tom explained what was happening with the sciatica and what he needed to do in order to correct the problem in an easy to understand way. I would recommend Tom Bedford and the St Clements Osteopathy & Massage.

Really professional, soothing,and carefully explained what they were doing and why.

I went to Summeara with severe SPD in pregnancy - to the point my hips had dislocated at one point and I couldn't walk. Physio treatment had had no impact, but after just one session with Summeara I could walk again and she kept me mobile right through my pregnancy. Other than being a miracle worker, she was lovely and friendly yet professional. She also went away and did some extra research on my rare connective tissue disorder so that she could treat me better. Fantastic care! Would you recommend our services? Yes

Had my first ever treatment today for a recent back/Sciatica complaint. Saw Corinne who was thorough in getting to understand my problem & professional in her treatment & advice. Reception staff Aoife & Anne were very helpful in arranging a suitable time & day for me as I'm restricted due to work. Would highly recommend anyone to come to 51stclements.

Had your first appointment today, with a lovely lady called Summeara, I believe her name was. Amazing! After multiple pregnancies I had lower back pain, pain between my shoulder blades and lower neck. I literally walked out pain free. Cannot believe how effective the appointment was. Highly recommended. Can see myself returning for all kinds of appointments.

I was suffering from a debilitating, stabbing pain in my head, stemming from my neck and possibly caused by stress and long days staring at a screen. After two sessions with Ben Davies, the pain, a 'tension headache', completely disappeared and I was back to normal...highly recommend this place!

Just the very efficient and knowledgeable practitioners. Each time I visit they exam me and find the areas that hurt without me always having to say each spot. I always come away feeling much better and like the issue has resolved or is a whole lot better. Would highly recommend to anyone with ongoing pains.
