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.

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.
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
Always greeted with a smile

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.
Great service
Great service and manipulation today. Looking forward to working with Mel on a programme of treatment to help my symptoms.
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.
Excellent

Great personalised treatment as ever. Hoping to be mobile again soon.
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.
Expert in every way
As usual I found Jane extremely professional, friendly and expert in every way.
Always feel at ease
Always feel at ease and comfortable at the clinic. Callum is good at listening and understanding issues going on with your body, always feel better after my visit.
Exactly what I need

Excellent
Excellent, I couldn’t wish for better!
Fixed me well!!
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
Jane is great as always
Jane is great as always. Have come home with my back feeling a lot looser and feeling a little taller.
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.
Relaxed environment
Lovely warm relaxed environment. Jane was lovely and easy to talk to.
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.
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
Exceptional osteopath
Nathan is exceptional as an osteopath.
Healing hands of Melina
It is a pleasure to come to the clinic and experience the healing hands of Melina and walk away feeling so much 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.
Thanks to all at the clinic
As a Dance Teacher it is very important to keep my body in good shape, and thanks to all at the clinic that is what they do.
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.

Melina is just the best!
Amazing as always. Melina is just the best!
Juliet is superb
Juliet is superb. She listens to the issues you are having, asks pertinent questions and then applies relevant treatments. Afterwards, she asks how I felt it went, what her take on the issues were and how they have improved. Really good.
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!
Very professional
Very professional, friendly and knowledgable. Lets hope it works!!

First time using an Osteopath but absolutely worth it

Friendly
Professional, warm, friendly
Truly Amazing
Gemma was truly amazing!
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.
Superb level of service
Superb level of service and treatment as always! My daughter came away after the treatment session feeling her back pain much relieved.
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.
I was treated with care the moment I walked through the door
Excellent service. An amazing place where you can access many different treatments under one roof. The treatment plan offered was entirely based on my own individual needs. I was treated with care the moment I walked through the door. Highly recommend!
Friendly, Professional service
Booked a last minute appointment and Callum couldn’t have been any nicer. Friendly professional service.
Great session
Juliet is amazing. Great session.
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!
Highly recommend Melina and her team
I’ve used the Harrison clinic many times over the past few years for multiple ailments and injuries. Always a pleasant welcome and you always feel comfortable. All the staff I have been seen by are professional and excellent at what they do. I have sent many friends, family members and clients of my own to seek help and treatment from the Harrison clinic resulting in excellent service and treatment. Highly recommend Melina and her team of professionals at the Harrison clinic.

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.
Very professional – finding the cause

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.
Very professional
Very professional. Very good advice and treatment. Would recommend Callum.
Nathan Cook
Seriously recommend Nathan Cook.
