Berkshire Physiotherapy Centre

read moreBerkshire Physiotherapy is a private physiotherapy clinic set up in Reading 35 years ago by Jim, and later, Carol Adkins. Berkshire Physiotherapy has seen three generations involved in its organisation and so we can truly call ourselves a family run business. Many of our patients have remained with us for years and we pride ourselves that we have treated their families too, from babies to grandparents. We aim to give you a warm friendly welcome as well as professional treatment and enough information to help you understand your condition.

Strengths and weaknesses are also measured with fitness assessments and education and with personalised guidance you can push yourself further than you ever thought you could. It's also a great way to make your gym sessions more efficient. We work as a team, so our Personal Trainer will always refer you to the physios for further advice if required.

Berkshire Physiotherapy provides a variety of spa treatments from Sothys (So-tis), a French brand which is considered the signature of excellence in professional skincare. Waxing has an exfoliating effect on skin which is why you might notice smoother, softer skin after a waxing session. Hair is pulled out of the root while waxing. This slows down the process of re-growth considerably cutting down the number of times you need to remove hair.

It relieves pain and spasm, helps reduce fluid retention, stretches tight tendons and increases blood supply. It certainly gives a feeling of well-being. All our massage therapists have more than one professional qualification and are trained by our physio team to ensure quality and continuity of care.

A detailed physical examination will follow. Your therapist will explain the diagnosis and discuss with you your personal treatment plan. A full range of treatments is available including manipulation, mobilisation, massage, electrical treatment such as ultrasound & laser and usually a course of exercises.
