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.

I had really bad shoulder pain for about 3 months, I went to see Tom and after 3 sessions I'm now pain free!

After helping relatives move, I had a trapped nerve in my upper vertebrae which massage had not addressed. The pinched nerve had severely limited my head movement and caused serious pain. Two sessions with Tom and I was back in great shape. A wonderful investment!

The BBC World Service has just lost a local listener! Severe pain in my left leg and hip had been waking me up at 2.00 or 3.00 am for days, and the only relief I could get was by sitting bolt upright or standing for hours. The World Service engaged my mind while the muscle spasms slowly relaxed, but one session with Tom brought longer lasting relief, and I was able to sleep through the night again. A second session appears to have resolved the problem. My thanks to the BBC, but most especially to Tom.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Tom Bedford for sorting my back problems couldn't walk more than ten minutes and it was so uncomfortable thanks to tom I'm able to walk better without any pain at all. i definitely will recommend you to my colleagues thank you very much once again

I had had neck and lower back pain for many years being unable to stand for any length of time. After 1 session with Tom Bedford the neck pain went and after 3 sessions the back pain has gone too. Thank you Tom.

You don't realize how much you need your back in everyday activities until you hurt it. I am not quite sure how I manged to damage it but I was in terrible pain and struggled to even put my shoes on! Tom Bedford quickly, miraculously and professionally put me at ease and in 3 sessions gave me my life and back back!

Since meeting with and being treated by Summeara, I can state the pain and discomfort of an ongoing problem, since taking an injury in a riding accident, has gone. I now enjoy routine maintenance and deep tissue massage which truly tackles the strains of repetitive working conditions. Thank you one and all at St Clements and the very friendly staff for being there when needed

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.

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 ?

It is always scary to go for a session like that, especially because it involves rather a high price. However, I felt better immediately and the next day I forgot that I had pain. So I was very happy for my decision to seek for help, it has improved quality of life drastically!

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!

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!
