West Berkshire Injury Clinic

In 2025, we’ve continued to care for a wide range of people—helping them return to the things they love, take on personal challenges, or simply live their day-to-day lives with less pain.

We feel incredibly lucky to do this work. While many of the people we see thank us for the care we provide, the truth is that we often leave these moments feeling just as grateful.

Grateful for the conversations, the shared stories, and the chance to learn from the lives people lead. Hearing about holidays, work, family, challenges, and achievements is a genuine privilege, and it’s one of the quiet joys of working in this profession.

We really are very lucky.

New Years resolutions are really fickle and the vast majority of people are not able to follow them through. Why is that I wonder?

But a new year is a human concept and if we haven't changed what is going on in our brain then it won't happen. Also, why wait till the new year? Why not do something now?

Now that seems like a lot of doom and gloom. I came up with this blog a few years ago and it really is about keeping things simple and make sure that they are achievable. Don't chase the impossible and prepare!

New year = new me - Yes? I'm interested in your thoughts on this.

Top Tips from the West Berkshire Injury Clinic team to help you set New Year's Resolutions that are achievable.

There are roadworks again outside the clinic in Newbury with 3 way traffic lights up by the clocktower. They have been there for a little bit but there isn't any sign of going away.

Please allow a bit of extra time, just in case.

Also, if you are outside the clinic, if you want to have your music turned up loud can you make sure the music is festive so we can sing along! 😁😁

Megan is leaving the clinic as she is moving away from the area.

We are sad to see her go but really want to wish her all the best in the future.

She has merged her time with us alongside her main career as a firefighter and it has been a joy to have her with us. Whatever she decides to do alongside her firefighting we know she we will do well and thrive.

Good luck Megan!

Confidence is a key thing and when a person gets injured their confidence in their own body suffers. We always work with a view of not just addressing the physical but the psychological.

Getting people to recover their confidence in their body is something we will always work on. Helping you with exercise to recover and then getting you back doing what you want to do where possible.

Using hands on techniques to help people feel better and more able to face the world.

This is a quote which I think encapsulates life. You will not succeed first time, every time and you need failure to learn and progress.

Shockwave has been around for a while. It is used mainly for tendon based issues but has been used for other conditions as well.

But did you know that it was originally used to destroy kidney stones? That was the original usage but through investigation and research it has been found to helpful with tendinopathies and chronic conditions e.g. Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendionpathy.

If you want some help or advise then please do give us a call. You might be surprised that if we talk about Shockwave I will concentrate a little on the negatives. As per our ethos - Straight Talking Care that Actually Cares it is really important for us to be honest.

We care about our carers!

Providing care to an elderly or young person or someone suffering from cancer or a chronic illness like MS, can take its toll mentally and physically on the caregiver.

While carers selflessly look after others, the constant lifting, pushing and stretching can mean they go home with niggling aches and pains.

This Christmas, we would like to thank all those who look after others by giving them the opportunity to look after themselves.

We are offering carers a fantastic 50% off any treatments booked before 1st January and taken by 16th January 2025.

Treatment available include:-
• Osteopathy
• Soft tissue massage/Sports Massage
• Help with those aches and pains or niggles.

To book a treatment, send us a message or call 01635 904542

Please share with anyone you think could benefit from this offer.

The sacrifices made by medics during World War II, and throughout history, serve as a poignant reminder of the selflessness embedded in the medical profession. These brave individuals ventured into the heart of conflict, often unarmed, to administer care and save the wounded, embodying the spirit of compassion and bravery. Their legacy is carried on today by medics in both military and civilian roles, who continue to risk their lives to provide critical care in perilous situations. These healthcare heroes, past and present, deserve our deepest gratitude and remembrance. As we honor their courage, we acknowledge the profound impact they have had on countless lives, embodying a commitment to healing and humanity that transcends the battlefield.
