The Abbeyfields Clinic - Bury Saint Edmunds

Taylor Moch

My lumbar pain hasn’t completely resolved but I’ve learned that is largely due to how I treat my back and need to make changes. Joe is very knowledgeable and gives you the tools/tips to improve your pain that will have more lasting effects if you only heed his recommendations. He’s caring, quick witted, and passionate about his work. I always felt comfortable and enjoyed my visits, would absolutely recommend Joe to anyone wanting to address their pain. Thanks for everything Joe, may your future be full of successful fishing trips!

I wouldn't say that my back pains have vanished, but ever since I've started seeing Joe, my back pains have greatly subsided. Extremely knowledgeable, even when it comes to unrelated pains, he was able to guide me towards a way of improving my style of lifting, which has helped me be able to lift more and keep the pains to a minimum. Absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone looking to have their pains looked at.

Cannot rate this practice more highly. I've been coming here for a few years now to see Megan for Sports Massage Therapy and she is an absolute top-notch member of this team. Always friendly and sociable during the entire process without sacrificing her professionalism. I've also had good experiences at this practice with Tom as well when I was receiving treatment for my muscular related issues. 10/10 highly recommend.

I was introduced to James Woledge in early 2015 after continued shoulder pain that many previous osteopaths had failed to help with. Within 5 minutes he realised that I needed a full x-ray and as a direct result of this referral they discovered a rare form of cancer that was successfully removed at a crucial time. I have continued to use James and his team since and he has continued to help get me back on top form and his knowledge in his field is beyond anyone else that I have seen in the past.

I have been lucky enough to benefit from the ultra sound scans that they are able to perform in house at their clinic which quickly and accurately has diagnosed minor injuries on myself and my family without the delays or hassle of going to A&E or the NHS in general.

I have always recommended him to all of our client's , friend’s and family without hesitation and have only ever had positive feedback! I cannot recommend these guys highly enough , nothing is to much trouble and no problem is ever unsolvable in their eyes with them all working together as a team to deliver the best possible outcome for their patients!

Jo Kelley

Joe has been my savior on my journey to regain strength in my hip and lower back. When I first started seeing him, I was physically unable to walk and in excruciating pain. Thanks to Joe's incredible knowledge and insight into his profession, I've made tremendous progress. Almost every week for a year, Joe has guided me with precision and care, ensuring that I followed his instructions to the letter. His friendly and cheerful bedside manner always made me feel comfortable, and I consistently left his office feeling better off than when I arrived. Now, as I have moved to Washington, I know I won't find someone who can compare to the standard of care Joe has provided. He's not just an osteopath; he's a true master of his craft, and I'm forever grateful for his expertise and support.

For over a year, I've relied on the expertise of Elly, for osteopathic treatments, and the results have been nothing short of life-changing. Her ability to pinpoint and address my issues with precision is remarkable. What sets her apart is that she's the only person in the surrounding area who truly understood my problem and provided effective solutions. Her compassionate approach and unwavering dedication have made each weekly session a beacon of hope and progress. It's bittersweet to have to move countries, knowing I'll no longer have access to her miraculous treatments. She's not just an osteopath; she's a true healer, and now friend and I'll forever be grateful for her invaluable care.

Tom Ambrose

Over the last 18 months I’ve had regular appointments with Joe Rudland to address my chronic back and hip pain. Before this I had seen five different osteopaths and physiotherapists, without really getting anywhere. I am now without pain - Joe succeeded where others failed for a number of reasons:

1) Evidence-based approach: Joe keeps up to date with research in his field, and thus is able to eloquently explain his treatment approach and problem-solve effectively.

2) Person-centred approach: Joe communicates what he’s doing and why, which makes it easy to buy into his treatment plan, engage in treatment fully, and learn how to better take care of yourself.

3) Problem-solving: other professionals didn’t seem to know what to do with me when treatment wasn’t working in the past, which left me feeling my situation was rather hopeless. Joe remained optimistic throughout, and when something wasn’t working, explored the reasons for this and adjusted treatment accordingly.

This is becoming an essay so I’ll leave it there, but I just wanted to express my gratitude - Joe thank you so much, you’re a ⭐️

Sarah Vaughn

I began seeing Elly at the beginning of 2023 for chronic migraines and pelvic floor therapy. I have dealt with these issues for many years and was skeptical I would experience any relief. However, I'm happy to say I was wrong! Along with being extremely knowledgeable, she also listened to my long list of pain and discomfort and tailored a treatment plan specifically for me. Elly was always accommodating and understanding. She consistently made me feel validated, heard and at ease. I never had a bad appointment with her.
When I learned l was moving away she gave me the tools and resources to continue seeing improvement in my migraines and pain from endometriosis.
I cannot thank her enough for all her help!
