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.
