The Thornbury Clinic is a multi award winning healthcare clinic with a specialism in sports injuries and a passion in helping people live a healthier, happier and pain free life. The clinic was founded by Guy Oldring on October 1st 2018 with an idea of developing a clinic that focussed on a patient centred approach and excelled in the patient journey.

Since then the team has grown to over 20 members encompassing over 8 professions, who all have the same goal; to deliver the best patient experience based on the clinic core values of Care, Positivity, Individualism and Performance. 

Care

To care about meaningful outcomes for all patients.

Positivity

To focus on what is possible and help to enable patients to achieve their goals.

Individualism

To treat all patients as individuals with bespoke treatment plans.

Performance

To ensure that all Practitioners involved with the clinic are highly skilled and at the top of their profession.

Since opening Guy and his team have worked hard to maintain these core values and have won multiple awards for both their outstanding customer experience and also the service that the practitioners offer. They have delivered many educational seminars and interactive talks to teams and local communities, as well as helping to develop students through their training. Most importantly, everyone in the clinic loves what they do!

So, whether you are suffering from a sports injury, struggling with back pain that stops you enjoying life, or would like some support in developing mental wellbeing, please contact us now and start your journey to a happier, healthier life. 

Our commitment to our patients

We will never

  • Force a ‘one-size fits all’ programme on you
  • Give you the uncertainty of unlimited treatments and a ‘let’s see how it goes’ approach
  • Promise impossible miracles that we know you will never be able to achieve
  • Sell you more treatments than you need.
  • Order you to rest or take action
  • Forget you!

We will

  • Listen to you and your needs to work out a bespoke programme just for you
  • Establish clear expectations and goals, and a timeframe that, with your commitment, we can hit.
  • Give you a clear and honest view of what is feasible to achieve.
  • Work with you to achieve tangible outcomes.
  • Give you information and advice to enable you to make your own decisions about your body.
  • Continue to be available to you long after your treatment has stopped.

Since opening Guy and his team have worked hard to maintain these core values. They have won multiple awards across the Thornbury, Thornbury Active and Yate clinics for both their outstanding customer experience and also the service that the practitioners offer. Coupled with this, they continue to deliver educational seminars and interactive talks to teams and local communities, as well as helping to develop students through their training. Most importantly, everyone in the clinic loves what they do!

Different Professions Explained

What Professions are there?

In a world of Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Sports Therapists, Sports Rehabilitators and many different Massage Practitioners, it can be very confusing as to what is best for you. At The Thornbury Clinic we believe that being fully informed is the most important factor of being able to manage your health. Due to this we have created information pages for the above professions to give you a little more information about what they all do. 

View all an explanation of each profession

What can each profession treat?

Whilst most professions will say that they are the best at treating certain ailments, the truth is that all musculoskeletal practitioners treat all musculoskeletal issues. They will simply approach it in different ways and use different techniques. Generally, Chiropractors tend to use more manipulative techniques whereas physiotherapists tend to use more exercise prescription. Osteopaths will focus on more holistic techniques whereas Sports Injury Therapists will use specificity towards the exercise that you enjoy.

What are the practitioners at The Thornbury Clinic?

At The Thornbury Clinic we like to focus on the experience of the practitioner and the techniques they use rather than the specific university training of the clinician. As all our practitioners have a minimum of a 3 year degree in their chosen field along with a minimum of 5 years post graduate experience, it means we can focus on what is best for you in the knowledge that they are already qualified to the highest standard. Your treatment will involve techniques from many different professions, meaning we can select the right clinical pathway to manage your issue as efficiently as possible.

What if I don’t know who to see?

If you are unsure who is the correct person to see, then do not worry. All our practitioners can fully diagnose your issue and if they feel someone else is better suited, they will simply refer you over. We are lucky to have an extensive referral network with other clinics. This allows us to have a fully patient centred approach and means we can always make sure that you see the best person for you.

If you would like more information or would just like to ask us a question please feel free to contact us directly.
