Andrew Spaak
OWNER & SPORTS THERAPIST

Having played rugby for over 40 years, Andrew understands the importance of a fit and healthy body and the crucial role that all healthcare professionals plan keeping us fit, and injury free.

His work with sports teams, individual sportspeople and the general public has given him extensive ‘hands-on’ experience dealing with injuries and ‘aches and pains’ (sports related or otherwise). He also has an interest working with people in chronic pain and suffering with conditions like Multiple Sclerosis, Fybromyalgia and of late, Long Covid, adapting his treatment plan accordingly.

When not at the clinic, Andrew works closely with Berkshire RFU, and Hungerford Rugby Clubs and enjoys cycling, running and singing (having performed in a number of operas, operettas and musicals) which led him to study vocal massage.

As a qualified teacher, Andrew also offers training classes to other Sports and Massage Therapists, Osteopaths and Chiropractors to help them gain their relevant CPD points.

Location: Newbury/Hungerford.

DAVE HAMILTON
CLINICAL LEAD & OSTEOPATH

 This lady seemed extremely happy in her work and those she was treating seemed even happier after just a few minutes in her care.

With Dave’s rugby playing days coming to an end, he thought it would be a great way to stay involved in a meaningful way on match days and to open up new opportunities, so he enrolled on a course at the Oxford School of Sports Massage and subsequently qualified as a Soft Tissue therapist.

What does Dave get out of soft tissue therapy? Satisfaction.

Satisfaction knowing that today he helped someone become freer from pain than they were before they came to see him. There is no need to be in pain through sore muscles. There are people that can help you and Dave is now one of those people – and loves it!
