Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic
Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment that recognizes and promotes the good health of the musculo-skeletal system: the muscles, joints, ligaments and tissue under the skin. Acupuncture works to help maintain your body's equilibrium. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of 'chi', your body's vital energy.

Sports Massage is a specialised technique developed using the principals of Swedish Massage. A deeper massage technique which ensures that underlying structures are treated. Selected in 2011 as one of only 25 Osteopaths to work within the central medical teams at both the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games within the inter-disciplinary Physical Therapies teams.
Services
The first clinic was established in 2004 by Dave Inman at Oldfield Surgery, working alongside local GP's. Both are recognised by many of the leading healthcare providers including BUPA and AXA/PPP.

Dave is joined by James Miles-Christiansen and Alex Earle at Livingstone Road, enabling the clinic to provide first class osteopathic treatment to the local community in general, as well as sportsmen and women, to help them achieve and maintain top level performance.
Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and manual treatment that recognizes and promotes the good health of the musculo-skeletal system: the muscles, joints, ligaments and tissue under the skin. Osteopaths take into consideration all aspects of a person's health, rather than limiting themselves to the symptoms.
Acupuncture works to help maintain your body's equilibrium. It involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to regulate the flow of 'chi', your body's vital energy. For a number of lifestyle and environmental reasons, chi can become disturbed, depleted or blocked, which can result in some symptoms of pain and illness.
Sports Massage is a specialised technique developed using the principals of Swedish Massage. A deeper massage technique which ensures that underlying structures are treated, Sports Massage is the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, tendons and ligaments.
Your foot is in contact with the ground for about.8 of a second when walking and about.25 seconds when running. Imagine trying to determine normal or abnormal foot function with the naked eye in a quarter of a second? This is too difficult for even the most experienced practitioner. The GaitScanTM system records your timing sequences during gait as you walk or run across the pressure plate.

Dave has helped me and my family, from the very young to the very old with various injuries and illnesses over many years and every time without fail he has made a huge difference, whether it be chronic or acute conditions.
Thank you,Dave. I’m sure it won’t be long before we are calling on you again!

I would like to thank my fabulous osteopath and friend of 10 years standing David Inman for his advice on what is the best neck pillow to relieve my neck pain. It has really worked a treat after just one night’s useage. I am just so delighted and over the moon and can’t thank Dave enough for this.
If anyone needs a well recommended osteopath for… any pain they are experiencing - I cannot rate Dave highly enough. A thoroughly down to earth chap who knows his craft inside and out and we, if you live in Bath and the local area are very fortunate to have him amongst us.

I highly recommend a visit to Dave and his team should you find yourself in need of an Osteopath.
I have used Dave for many years for different running induced ailments and I simply cannot speak highly enough… of him, I would never go to anyone else.
They take the time to get to know you and take a real interest in their patients, and nothing ever feels like it's too much trouble.
Simply amazing.

All three Osteopaths here are excellent (Dave, Alex, & James) with a thorough understanding of Osteopathy. Highly recommended for anyone with muscle or back/neck pain. They don't just 'click you' like a Chiropractor but provide excellent aftercare information and Physio style treatments.

Dave is a superb osteopath. His deep understanding of how the human body works really comes through in how he applies his knowledge to help your body at that moment in time. His treatments are incredibly effective and I highly recommend him.

Alex is a really friendly and puts you at ease straight off the bat. He is very thorough, applying an holistic approach to discovering the root of the problem. I've been struggling with with chronic back pain for 18 years +. Alex was the first person to make the connection between inflammation of my gut and my back, which set me on a new journey of discovery into related health issues. He also talks you through what he's going to treat and why. Top guy, can't recommend highly enough.
Plus you can book your appointment online 😁

I would highly recommend Oldfield Osteopathic Clinic. I have been to see Alex the Osteopath twice now with symptoms of pelvis, back and leg pains following child birth. During the first session Alex was able to identify the root of the pain and performed some treatment that instantly helped. Two sessions in and my mobility has drastically… improved. Alex is professional, very friendly and will make you feel at ease during the session. Thank you so much for your help I only wish I had come to see you sooner and not put up with the pain for so long before!

I have been seeing Dave for over 10 years now and don't believe there is a better man for the job. He has my full trust, confidence in any issue i have and he has always managed to resolve my injuries. David has also gone above the call of duty in many circumstances and i put a huge amount of my health and wellbeing down to Dave's care and attention. Top service, top company, look no further, Dave operates a very well respected clinic.
