“The osteopathic philosophy of treating the person and not the disease/complaint and of considering all aspects of a person's mind, body and environment enables me, as an osteopath, to enhance peoples' health and well-being. Whether a patient is 8 or 80 years old, this gives me an enormous amount of pleasure and job satisfaction.” Dave Inman, Osteopath at the Oldfield Osteopathic and Sports Injury Clinic

latest reviews
Iâm a patient currently of Dave Inman at the Oldfield Osteopathic Practice. Iâm really happy with what he has done for me. He has improved my life immensely. I went to see him for lower back pain and he treated me over a course of 7 weeks until it got resolved. I was so impressed with this that I stayed on as a regular client as wellness for myself. I find it extremely therapeutic and I believe it has minimised any potential problems I might have had in that time. I see it as a regular âMOTâ, he is servicing my general health.
Iâm a fire fighter and I had a couple of bad injuries at work and they were getting worse. My back was going into spasm regularly, I was sent to lots of practices (I think 4 or 5 by the fire services over a 2 year period) and they never ever did anything for me. It was after I visited my doctor who recommended me to see an osteopath (after spending a week of my holiday with my back in spasm) that I came in contact with Dave from The Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic. I told Dave my history and was told to see an improvement within 4 treatments. From the second visit it was obvious that things were going better. I have now been seeing him for about 3-4 years and I really believe he has a magic touch. He resulted in me playing golf again, playing volleyball and I have been picked for the fire brigade national team. Dave is brilliant at his job. I have already recommended him to other fire fighters who had sports injuries. He is also treating my son who plays rugby. I donât know if Dave has sold his soul to the devil in return for âA magic touchâ, but he works wonders for myself and he regularly sorts out my fifteen year old son who gets rugby injuries through training and matches. I would recommend Dave Inman unreservedly.
Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic is without a doubt the best place I have ever visited and I have been to quite a few other health practitioners. This is the first osteopath that I have been to and this has really worked for me. I have used them for about 8 months now and Iâm absolutely totally happy with the progress that I have made.
Iâve used Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic since last October. Iâve had lower back problems. Iâve been more than happy with them. Theyâve made some progress with it absolutely. I heard about them through word of mouth. I would definitely recommend them
I have multiple health issues but I always feel much better, as well as more relaxedwhen I've had treatment from her
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending both Joanne and the Oldfield Clinic to anyone, and I'm sure that I will continue our excellent client/practitioner relationship well into the future
After the first session I felt worse! However, within a few days my whole wellbeing improved tremendously and life was good again without headaches
I am an artist and my posture has been affected by being hunched over a drawing board or computer. I now visit Jo every few months to keep me enjoying life and happy. Bless her!
I took my then few weeks old son to see her, as when he was born his head had been slightly squashed during labour, as I was so impressed with how she dealt with a baby I decided to see her myself, I have a long standing back problem initially from a car crash, then a fall which resultef in a broken back, Jo has been amazing in her treatment.
I truly believe that Jo is the best osteopath in Bath and I happily recommend her to family, friends and colleagues.
