I came in dealing with back pain, Nicol really helped me build become more resilient and mobile. Her approach made all the difference, and I'm feeling so much better. Highly recommend her if you need a great physio!Posted on Google
James FellWith continued treatment on my back and chest, Amy not only treats the issues I have but also makes the experience much kinder with actual conversation and kindness. Makes repeat appointments feel much less like a chore when there's a professional and friendly face at the door.Posted on Google

Stephen JenkinsI have had nine excellent physiotherapy sessions with Nicol Sammut at the Harrison Clinic. Nicol has taken me from the point where I had constant back pain and an inability to walk any distance to my current position where I now feel ready to start regular gym sessions again. I cannot praise and tank Nicol enough for her knowledge and empathic help and guidance.Posted on Google
Linda HallMy first time back with Nicole since having a second operation on my ankle. Nicole is an absolute miracle worker. She assessed the strength in my ankle, released tightness and helped me regain confidence in my baseline level of exercise. Thank you so much Nicole and the Harrison Clinic.Posted on Google

Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatments based on the principle that the structure and function of the body are interrelated and therefore rely on each other for optimal health.
Through case history and clinical examination the osteopath seeks to establish the exact source of the patient’s problem and formulate a diagnosis. Hands on treatment is aimed at reducing symptoms/pain, restoring function and removing any mechanical imbalances which are preventing healing. The osteopath will also provide rehabilitation exercises and life-style advice to help prevent further problems.

As usual I found Jane extremely professional, friendly and expert in every way.
Amazing staff who are exceptional in their expertise and field of treatment
From the initial drive to the clinic, surrounded by tranquil Berkshire countryside and still only a stones throw from Reading centre to the warm and friendly welcome you receive as you enter the clinic. Melina and her team will give nothing short in the very best. Treatment and good sound advice. I have known Mel for many years and she always puts others first. She has built up an amazing clinic and taken on amazing staff who are exceptional in their expertise and field of treatment. I couldn’t recommend this clinic enough from the very best treatment to the warmest friendliest of staff. After every session I leave not only feeling the freedom of movement and relief in pain but also with the pleasure of meeting such lovely people who have become dear friends over the years Big Thumbs Up!
I have already recommended the clinic to a colleague
I have suffered with neck pain for many years and was persuaded by my wife to visit Mel at The Harrison Clinic based on the quality of treatment she had received. Despite my cynicism (men are generally rubbish at sorting out their medical conditions), Mel has already made a difference and after only three sessions my symptoms are improving. I have already recommended the clinic to a colleague.

Always a 5 star service from Melina. Thank you.

Ease my pain
Excellent work by Nathan who certainly hows how to ease my pain. Thanks
Wish I’d seen him a long time ago
Having suffered with lower back pain for far too long, I saw Nathan and was incredibly impressed with him. Nathan talked me through many questions to pinpoint my problem and then carried out some treatment, all the while explaining what he was doing and why. The following day I felt so much better and wished I’d seen him a long time ago. I have already booked a follow-up session and further treatments

Mel put me at ease
I was a nervous patient, and Mel put me at ease and explained the issue with my back. Also very kindly offered to be available by phone if I had any further queries as a follow-up appointment was not required. Thank you.
Provide excellent aftercare service with exercises and programs for continued strength building
Highly recommend The Harrison Clinic. Melina and her team go above and beyond to look after you. Not only when your having treatment but they provide excellent aftercare service with exercises and programs for continued strength building. I will always recommend the clinic to my friends, family and clients.
Very pleased with the service provided
I was very pleased with the service provided by the Harrison Clinic. Every appointment was on time, the receptionist was pleasant, Vicky our Physio was professional and very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to return if anyone in the family needed treatment.
Listens well
Have been to Callum a few times now, very professional and understanding, listens well and I have always benefited from my visits, would definitely recommend.
Strategies to become more mobile
She listens carefuly while I report on how I am and gives me strategies for me to help myself to get more mobile and become more positive. She has my sincere thanks.
Great engagement

Very good treatment and professional! Highly recommend not only Nathan but the business as a whole! This is my second set of treatments in 12 months and each time I have always managed to get seen quickly and fixed! They will not keep you coming back once fixed just to rip you off, so be assured you are in safe hands all round!

5* as usual
5* as usual. Great service, thank you
I was able to compete and finish the run
I was very fortunate to have a physio appointment less than a week before a half marathon to address a hip muscle strain. The session, information and guidance I received was superb and I was able to compete and finish the run.
First time using an Osteopath but absolutely worth it
Hurt my back and within just 3 sessions over 2 weeks I feel significantly better. Would definitely recommend Callum Watson. First time using an Osteopath but absolutely worth it and I will definitely be back if I have any more problems.
Very Welcome
Very good explains everything makes you feel very welcome.
Will definitely reuse if needed
Slightly tricky to find, especially with the road works, but once turned off the main road you follow it round to the left and look for Unit I (capital i). You now have to wait in the car park to be called in (CV19) but Mel was super friendly and came out to help me out the car. I was seen very quickly and assessed, before my treatment started. I was diagnosed quickly, given treatment and then given aftercare in the shape of appropriate advice and stretches. Will definitely reuse if needed!
Knowledgable about all the various muscles/joints
Session felt great. Gemma was extremely knowlegable about all the various muscles/joints around my hip and thoroughly worked through the stiffness in each of them. Would definitely go back if any future injuries arise.
Fully recommend her services
Juliet is always welcoming and very professional. Would fully recommend her services.
Excellent
Excellent visit today, saw Nathan for the first time and was very happy with his treatment and the discussions we had about treatment and preventative measures. Will be back!
Great experience
Had a great experience and a really good laugh. Thank you!
Come home feeling better
Excellent. Feeling all sorted out with some exercises to work on. I always come home feeling better after Jane has worked on my aches and pains!
Free’s the knots!
Gemma has managed to ‘free’ the knots from my toes to my neck…thank you…
More comfortable & sleeping better
Two days in now after my shoulder and back treatment and I’m more comfortable and sleeping better. Thank you.
The Harrison Clinic is a true asset in our community
I have been a client at the Harrison Clinic for the past 12 years. I rate this friendly, multidisciplinary clinic incredibly highly, and I also have many friends and family who feel the same way. I have appointments as and when my body requires, and always get instant relief from the treatment. Melina and her team are excellent and work in a true inter-disciplinary manner to ensure you receive the best possible result. As a family we have used many of the treatments on offer; osteopathy – including in pregnancy, cranial osteopathy for our children, sports treatments to keep my husband in top form, and most fantastically my 96 year old grandmother gained vast improvement in her movement following a very gentle, yet effective treatment. The Harrison Clinic is a true asset in our community.
Fixed me well!!

Kind and professional
Very thorough kind and professional
All the staff are warm and welcoming
I have used The Harrison Clinic for a number of reasons over the past few years. I initially saw them for physio, but then also had osteopathy, nutritional advice and hypnotherapy. In addition I attended a weekend ‘retreat’ which was a first for me. I was very nervous about this, but found it an incredible and uplifting experience and just what I needed to ‘reset’ after a particularly difficult time. All the staff are warm and welcoming regardless of how long it is since you last saw them. I would highly recommend getting in touch with and using the Harrison Clinic.
Just amazing!
She is just amazing!

Nathan Cook
Seriously recommend Nathan Cook.
Tips to manage his condition
I took my dad for a visit to get a second opinion and advice on his arthiritis. Melina was highly professional and gave us lots of tips on how to manage his condition, increase mobility and manage his pain. I look forward to seeing the results of a longer term daily self care. Thank you Melina.

I could have skipped out
Another excellent treatment. I booked as an emergency because my back and hip muscles were so tight that I was unable to stand the day before and Nathan managed to release the muscles enough that I could have skipped out if so inclined

Impressed with Juliet’s diligence to get to the route of the problem and provide not only treatment but good guidance on what I should be doing to help repair the problem.
You can clearly see the passion they have for the work
I have used the Harrison Clinic for a variety of treatments over the last few years. All staff are helpful and very knowledgeable in the work they do. You can clearly see the passion they have for the work and all staff at the clinic support each other with treatments. I know if I do have any further issues in the future, I will always use the Harrison clinic as they have flexible opening times and a have a variety of practitioners to be the most suitable to your needs.
Quickly identified my issues
Gemma very quickly identified my issues and during this initial session she was able to work dilligently on the area concerned.
Melina is just the best!
Amazing as always. Melina is just the best!
One of the best
Having been to most of the Physio/Osteo clinics in this area I have stayed with Harrison as I find it is one of the best. Just wish they had more facilities for sports injuries and for the clinicians to work. Floors need to be flat! But don’t bother going anywhere else

Highly recommend Melina and her team of professionals at the Harrison clinic.

Truly Amazing
Gemma was truly amazing!
Professional & friendly
Every care was taken to ensure safety whilst providing a good environment for treatment. Callum was professional and friednly and explained his approach to ensure the right treatment could be taken.
Lots of advice & encouragement
Excellent as always. We’ve had a number of appointment with Juliet for our son Harrison and she is always really good with him. Today Harrison decided to have a massive screaming fit for the majority of the session, this did not deter Juliet and she continued to treat Harrison while my wife and I tried to keep him calm. Since we starting seeing Juliet back in December Harrison’s issues have improved massively. Juliet always asks how we are doing as well and has provided us with lots of advice and encouragement and we are very grateful to her for all her work with Harrison. Thanks.
Good explanations of my treatment
Friendly and very professional with good explanations of my treatment.
Very professional
As always very professional.
My sciatic pain hasn’t returned for several years now
I suffered from a fairly serious recurring sciatic problem a while ago, and the team at the Harrison Clinic were great in helping me manage it and advising me in how to prevent it coming back (through changes in my exercise and daily routine). What I liked was the way that they treated me as a team, referring me to different therapists and different types of treatment based on what was best for me. My sciatic pain hasn’t returned for several years now, and the Harrison Clinic is still the place I’ll go to treat any injuries, pain or strains. Highly recommended.
Friendly service
Very good, caring and friendly service both when I spoke to Melina and when I saw Callum. Thank you 🙂
Jane is great as always

Great session
Juliet is amazing. Great session.
Excellent initial consultation
Excellent initial consultation with Melina today. Very thorough examination and clear explanation of treatment plan. Very happy with the prcoess so far.
They genuinely care about their customers
I have been to the Harrison Clinic several times and have always had great treatment. The staff are really friendly and have always taken the time to listen to exactly what I need. They genuinely care about their customers. I also took my daughter for Cranial Osteopathy and the results were fantastic.
Treatment has reformed the agony
Nathan was very professional from start to finish. Listened to me and understood my problem. His treatment has reformed the agony I have spent the last 4 days in. I am sure he saved me from a slipped disc. Cannot thank him enough.
Virtually pain free since
As a long term patient of another Osteopath in Reading, who had retired, I was delighted to learn of Harrison Clinic and that another Osteopath, who I’d met briefly some years ago, had a clinic there. The treatment I’ve received from Callum Watson is excellent and has meant that I have been virtually pain-free since seeing him. Both my husband and an old friend who I recommended visit Callum say the same. The whole Clinic is run efficiently, and the Receptionist is friendly and helpful.
Very helpful
As always very helpful.

Recovered very quickly from a frozen shoulder operation
I would not hesitate to recommend The Harrison Clinic. I recovered very quickly from a Frozen Shoulder operation thanks to the physiotherapy treatment I received here. The staff were very friendly and put me at my ease. They were quick to diagnose the problem in the first place and post operation, expertly kept me on track for a full recovery. The sessions were very reasonably priced and value for money.
Won’t be going anywhere else fast
