I have been seeing the Osteopath Hayley at the college and I feel so lucky to have found her. I had a problem with my hip which was causing terrible pain and loss of mobility. I had let it go on for far too long and was quite desperate by the time I made my first appointment. I was also being kept awake at night by intensely painful pins and needles in my hands. I instantly felt that I was in very safe hands. Hayley is calm and compassionate, she listens carefully and adjusts the treatment accordingly. I feel completely at ease and able to talk to her about anything. There is no quick fix to a longstanding problem, but from the first treatment Hayley has reduced the pain and increased my mobility which has allowed me to carry on at work and given me increased quality of life. I am now improving greatly and feel like a different person, and the problem with my hands has almost completely disappeared. I cannot recommend Hayley highly enough, she has made my life better. The college is a lovely place to be treated, peaceful and comfortable.

An amazing, life-changing place to study true, classical (Stems and Branches) acupuncture. In going to ICOM I was blessed with such a gift. Having now been an acupuncturist for 8 years, I can honestly say that this style of acupuncture is extremely sophisticated, and goes much deeper in assisting patients to heal compared to the more commonly UK taught TCM style. You also get taught ALL the main acupuncture points!
I’m now expanding my energy healing into Feng Shui and earth/land acupuncture. Stems and Branches philosophy is the bedrock of Feng Shui and thanks to ICOM it is now a natural step for me to take. To all the staff…keep up the good work! 😀

I'm disabled with chronic pain. This May I had treatment with Clare at ICOM. The first treatment helped me so much I booked another appointment immediately. I've been having appointments once a fortnight since. Clare has helped me almost immeasurably with my pain levels and simultaneously helped me with a number of additional issues that I didn't realise could be helped. For one, I've had very painful periods for decades and within only two treatments my cramps have stopped completely, I don't need any painkillers or hot water bottles anymore and I don't have to arrange my life around my period. This could be a life changer for so many women. I'm now spreading out my appointments to every three weeks. I'm having regular sessions to manage chronic pain, other people may not need as many appointments. Clare has literally changed my life!

Elio was superb again. I felt so good in myself when I left the clinic. He certainly knows what he is doing. What surprises me again and again that he can obviously 'read' some of my behaviour by feeling my pulse and can give me feedback on how to change my lifestyle to improve my health and wellbeing. Marvellous!

I had very painful knees and pain in my right heel. My energy level was very low.
When I left I felt terrific. The pain had gone totally in the right knee and foot and my energy levels were fantastic.
Well Done to you All, in you chosen profession.

I have chronic DVT in my leg which is causing so much pain and swelling. I had never had acupuncture, but had got to the point I will try anything. I am now hooked! I never understood what a skill acupuncture is. I saw Tom at ICOM and he really is amazing. So caring, full of knowledge and after only one treatment the pain has released significantly. I have booked to go back so Tom can continue with the treatment plan. I highly recommend not only acupuncture, but the ICOM clinic and their practitioners. The skill and care is really first class.

I saw Tom Ings for treatment of tight muscles in my leg due to osteoarthritis in my knee. He was very professional and very attentive. He took a thorough medical history and was able to address my problems. The treatment room was spotlessly clean and given the current circumstances with Covid I felt completely safe.
Prices are reasonable and I have already booked another session. I would highly recommend.

My appointment with Tom Ings are always helpful
I have been attending this accupunture clinic for many years
I always get a professional and friendly service from Tom
He is very attentive and extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
I have recently had complex major hip surgery and was feeling a lot of pain and feeling anxious. After this treatment felt more relaxed and sleep has improved and the pain was so much easier when I moved.
Tom is just the best
Highly Recommended

At the moment I have weekly sessions with Sarah and without a doubt acupuncture has helped me immensely.
The clinic has adhered very seriously to all covid guidelines and I feel very safe when I visit.
My time with Sarah has bought me relief from my cancer and chemotherapy side affects in a calming environment. Not only have the sessions bought me relief and improvement I have also been treated by a very caring, positive and knowledgeable acupuncturist.
It is not just a physical support but also an emotional support.
This weeks session was as excellent as all the others have been.
