Rugby has always been close to the heart of Andrew, our clinic’s owner, and over the past 15 years it has become a significant part of the work we do at West Berkshire Injury Clinic.

During this time, we’ve been proud to support a wide range of teams and matches from age‑grade fixtures to senior county competitions, representative games and special events. Each one has brought its own demands, its own atmosphere and its own sense of pride.

Our involvement has gone far beyond simply being present on match day. We’ve been there to assess injuries, provide treatment, strap and support players, patch people up when needed, and help keep squads moving safely throughout their fixtures. Whether on the touchline or behind the scenes, it has always been a privilege to contribute to the sport.

Across the years, we’ve supported multiple U20 county finals, memorable trips to Twickenham, strong runs in the County Championships, and even international‑level fixtures including supporting the Fijian team briefly prior to the 2015 world cup.

Each match has been as rewarding as the next, and each one has added to the history we’re proud of.

We’re grateful to every coach, player and team who has trusted us over the years, and we look forward to continuing our support for the sport that means so much to Andrew and to our wider community.

A clinic is never just a building; it’s the people who bring it to life.

Over the last 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of working with an exceptional group of practitioners who have each played a part in shaping who we are today.

Some were with us in the early days, some joined us along the way, and some are still here making a difference every single day. Every practitioner has contributed to our growth, our reputation, and the level of care we’re able to offer our community.

We are equally proud of those who have gone on to establish successful clinics of their own including Darcy at https://www.rcvryinjuryclinic.com/ and Martin at https://www.mjptherapy.co.uk/ both continuing to make a positive impact in their respective communities.

Their hard work, professionalism, kindness, and belief in what we do have helped build the foundations we stand on today.

We wouldn’t be the clinic we are without the people who have stood beside us over the years. Their contribution truly makes a difference.

One of the lesser‑known treatments that we offer is vocal massage, a treatment that supports singers, actors and performers who rely on their voice every single day.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping vocalists ease tension, improve breath support, recover from strain and feel confident stepping back on stage.

We have also helped cast members and back stage crew with any general issues so that the show can go on.

We have enjoyed working behind the scenes with local theatre productions and the Watermill Theatre, supporting cast members through rehearsals, shows and everything in between.

It’s been a joy to play a small part in keeping our creative community performing at their best, whether they’re singing, acting, speaking or storytelling.

Here’s to every performer we’ve supported, and to the many more voices we’ll continue to care for.

I thought I would share why I've headed down this path and why. As my Dad would say - this may be considered to be very long and boooooooooorrrrrrrrring! 😊🤣

I've shared some of the experiences that I've had and how lucky I feel I've been and I still feel this way but not what lead me to this industry and what I'm doing.

Most people know that I worked in the IT industry for a number of years and in fact I explored both careers for a period of time.

I'd always had an interest in this area and growing up there was a lot of discussion about the human body, its frailties and I very much remember talking about dissections which my sister had done over the Sunday dinner table much to my Dad's chagrin! My Mum was a nurse and my sister was a dietitian (And did work with the clinic for a short while) and my niece, Emily, is now a nurse.

I suppose working in healthcare is in my blood. But why did I head down the IT route? I think a lot of it was due to it was something that was easy to get into at the time and there was money in it. Also, like a lot of youngsters I suppose I didn't really know what I wanted to do. I don't regret any of my IT work and I count myself very lucky to work with some amazing people and I do miss the people to this day.

In the late 90s I did explore retraining as a Physio but at that time Sam was diagnosed with MS and we didn't really understand how that would progress. With hindsight, I could've done it but isn't hindsight a wonderful thing. So I didn't do it.

After many years of playing rugby I'd had a few injuries and been patched together by a number of people - Phil Harris of Harris Mind and Body being one of them as well as David Hamm and others (In fact David got me down the aisle as he treated my ankle when I was struggling to walk 3 days beforehand). I'd also found the benefits of Sports Massage and Bowen.

I got the opportunity of studying Sports and Remedial Massage and found that I loved it. I then got a learning bug and transitioned to Sports Therapy and then continued to upgrade until I got to the Level 6 in Advanced Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation.

Do I ever regret the decisions I've made - Absolutely not. I've met some wonderful people and been influenced by some absolutely fantastic people who have helped me greatly. And who would've believed I would have got to 15 years.

Thanks for reading and thanks for for all your support over the years.

Reviews aren’t just comments on a screen, they’re real moments from real people who’ve trusted us with their bodies, their recovery and their wellbeing.

Every single one matters.

We read them. We talk about them. We learn from them. And we appreciate them.

If you’ve ever taken the time to leave us a review, just know this: we never expect them, and we never take them for granted.

Another rewarding part of our work at West Berkshire Injury Clinic is supporting people as they take on challenges that push their limits, physically, mentally, and often emotionally too.

Over the past 15 years, we’ve had the privilege of helping individuals prepare for and recover from an incredible variety of events. From long‑distance walks and multi‑day cycles to high‑profile charity challenges and local community efforts, each one has been as meaningful and inspiring as the next.

Every challenge represents commitment, resilience, and a personal reason for taking part. We never take it for granted that people trust us to support them through the preparation, the setbacks, the milestones, and the celebrations.

We’re grateful to have played a small part in so many journeys and we’re looking forward to supporting more in the year ahead.

Here’s to every challenge taken on, every goal achieved, and every person who keeps moving forward.

If you’ve visited our Hungerford Clinic you’ve probably met Kate.

Kate has been a long‑standing and highly valued member of West Berkshire Injury Clinic for 10 years, bringing depth of experience, specialist knowledge, and consistent support to both patients and colleagues.

As Clinical Lead, Kate plays a key role in maintaining high clinical standards across the Newbury and Hungerford clinics. She supports the development of our therapists, ensures best practice, and contributes to the continued growth of the clinic.

Clinically, Kate works with a wide range of patients, including:

• Professional equestrians such as jockeys, grooms, and leisure riders
• Individuals over 65, where her specialist skills help manage arthritis, support rehabilitation after joint replacement, and maintain mobility
• Everyday patients managing work‑related aches, persistent niggles, or looking to improve movement for sport or lifestyle goals

Her own experience of injury and back issues gives her a unique understanding of the challenges patients face, and this empathy is reflected in her approach to care.

Kate is registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and continues to be a trusted, respected, and integral part of our team.

We are proud to have her leading within the clinic and supporting our community across West Berkshire.

After being established in Newbury, expanding into Hungerford in 2019 was a huge milestone for us, a chance to grow, to reach more people, and to become part of another wonderful community.

From day one, the welcome we received was amazing, and we’re proud to still be an integral part of Hungerford all these years later.

We’re also incredibly grateful to work alongside other brilliant professionals within our clinic, a team of people who share our values, our commitment to care, and our passion for supporting local wellbeing.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted us, visited us, recommended us, or simply been part of our journey.

We’re proud to be here, and excited for everything still to come.

At the clinic, we work with many different patients, including those who are living with chronic pain and long‑term conditions that affect everyday life such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CPRS), Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Neuropathic Pain.

Our approach is holistic, supportive, and centred around the individual. We take the time to listen, understand, and never judge. And we see ourselves as part of your wider care team, working alongside other professionals to help you feel supported.

Whether you’re managing a long‑term condition or navigating day‑to‑day pain, we’ll continue to be here to help.

With the support of Thames Valley Chamber, one of the biggest steps forward for us was, bringing Shockwave Therapy into the clinic, not as a replacement for traditional treatment, but as an alternative for the people who felt they’d run out of options.

For those living with long‑standing tendon pain, stubborn plantar fasciitis, ongoing Achilles issues, or that deep, persistent discomfort that never quite settles… Shockwave has given us a way to offer something different.

Being able to say, “There is another option” has been one of the most meaningful additions to our care.
And years later, we’re still seeing how much it helps people move forward when nothing else has worked.

If Shockwave became that turning point for you, we’d love to hear your story.

Our Story

West Berkshire Injury Clinic provides Osteopathy and Sports Therapy to help all people whether they are sporty or not overcome aches and pains and recover from injuries that they may have at any time.

Although we do treat sporting injuries this is NOT all we treat as we also treat aches and pains which may have been caused from working at a desk, gardening, doing work around the house or if you’re unlucky enough just walking down the street.

Our people are more than happy to discuss our services with anybody concentrating on what they require.
