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.
Thank you Emma for your lovely words. We are delighted that Summeara Bedford's Osteopathic...

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!

I was very pleased with the service I received. I arrived with pain in my middle and upper back which had been getting increasingly worse over several months. The Osteopath I saw explained what was likely to be causing the pain, gently manipulated my spine and massaged surrounding muscles. I was given some advice on being more active and exercise that should help maintain the comfort the osteopathy would provide with. Several weeks have now passed since my appointment and I am feeling very well.

I had a meeting with Tom Bedford re having cracks in my knees when bending _ I am 75!
He examined me - complimented on my fitness for my age and effectively said -Don't spend any more money on this practice .What you need is to regularly use an exercise bike -and then he gave me suggestions on bikes suitable for seniors
So instead of getting to spend money on his practice he directed me to a different 'treatment'.
How many time has this happened to you ?
Many thanks for promoting our honesty Alan, we hope the exercise bike helps!

I had 3 sessions with Tom a little over a month ago now, I wanted to leave some time before submitting a review to fully test whether the treatment I received fixed my problem. I take my running quite seriously but in the 7 months prior to my first appointment I was largely unable to run due to an unknown foot/leg problem. Several times I questioned whether I'd ever get back to fitness. My doctor and physio gave conflicting diagnoses and neither suggested treatment that worked. Tom's diagnosis largely matched my physio but his hands on approach really got to the root of the problem and I was able to run tentatively immediately after the first session. Yesterday I completed my first high intensity track session since treatment and I don't feel any negative effects from it, for me this was the final test before declaring myself fit again. Massive thanks to everyone at St Clements Osteo!
Keith, this is great news! We are delighted that you are fit again and that Tom's treatment help...

I was treated initially by Tom for an ongoing problem I have had with my thumb, which over the past 4/5 years has extended throughout my arm and into my shoulder, leaving me unable to write. I have seen physios, osteopaths, acupuncturists to name a few, but nothing has worked as of yet. Tom got me through my second year University exams and deadlines as his treatments allowed me start to write a little and be able to type for much longer without enduring so much pain. Since then, my arm/hand became worse again due to my role at work, and I was particularly getting new pains in my shoulder and back, so I saw Ben, for a massage. He has done a great job at loosening all the muscles that were so tense up my arm, in my hand, my back and my shoulder. I was in a sling because my arm was so painful, but after 3 treatments he made a massive difference and I was able to move my arm again! Both Tom and Ben have provided an excellent service and have given me hope!
Thank you Hannah! We are delighted that Tom and Ben could help you in their different ways and...

I visited Tom when I had exhausted all options recommended by the doctor and was still no further forward with relieving my excruciating back and neck pain which caused headaches and times where I could not stand up straight! Tom has been a miracle worker, using both massage and manipulating techniques to relieve pressure and pain, I could say after 3 treatments I was feeling elated! After 6 months of treatments and exercises at home I was definitely on the road to self managing the pain when it occurred. I now visit Tom for a 6 monthly 'MOT' and couldn't recommend him/the services any more.

Amazing and friendly atmosphere, felt completely at ease when coming for my treatment. My treatment itself was very effective after my first visit and after my second visit I am now free of back pain. Highly recommended. Thank you Tom!

I had fortnightly massages with Ben Davies' when I developed RSI during my finals at Oxford. I am exceptionally gratefully for the work he did, reducing my previously unmanageable pain right down, and essentially allowing me to complete my finals. He treated the RSI in my neck, arms, chest and back with trigger point therapy. Due to his work and other therapies which Ben recommended such as qi qong, yoga and meditation, the RSI got much better even during a period of intense stress (the four months during my finals at Oxford) with many hours at a computer daily. I would highly recommend Ben for anyone with neck tension and RSI.
I also saw Tom Bedford when I woke up with a crick in my neck mid-finals which he amazing de-cricked!

I had a therapeutic massage with Ben. I can now extend my neck and no longer have such muscle tension. It went so well that I recommended him to my friend and my teenage son.

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

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

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.
