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!

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 ?

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!

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 had a great Osteopathic treatment at this place, would highly recommend.

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!
