Located in Newbury, Ben Fedrick Injury Therapy is a specialized physiotherapy center dedicated to helping individuals achieve long-term pain relief and restore optimal movement. Founded by Ben Fedrick, a qualified Sports Scientist with extensive training in advanced therapeutic modalities, the practice moves beyond traditional symptom management to address the root causes of injury and chronic pain.

By focusing on identifying compensatory movement patterns and structural imbalances, he ensures that each treatment plan is highly personalized.

Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Ben Fedrick Injury Therapy:
A holistic and investigative approach to pain and movement
Ben Fedrick Injury Therapy distinguishes itself by offering a deeply personalized and investigative style of physiotherapy that goes far beyond symptom management. Patients consistently highlight Ben’s ability to act as a "physio detective," systematically tracing the root cause of chronic pain and recurring injuries to long-standing issues or biomechanical asymmetries. Rather than relying on generic treatments, he employs a forensic approach to movement analysis, often identifying hidden issues in areas distant from the primary pain source, such as tracing knee or hip pain back to thigh muscle imbalances or even historical injuries. This thorough assessment ensures that the treatment plan addresses the underlying mechanics of the body as an interconnected system.
Empowerment through exercise therapy and patient education
A defining feature of Ben’s practice is his focus on patient education and active recovery. He does not simply treat the patient in the clinic but empowers them with a clear understanding of their anatomy, the mechanics of their pain, and the physiological reasons behind each therapeutic intervention. The treatment plan invariably includes a carefully selected set of simple, manageable exercises that patients perform at home. These exercises are reviewed and adjusted in every session, ensuring progressive improvement and preventing reoccurrence. Patients frequently mention that this collaborative approach has given them the tools and confidence to manage their own health, often avoiding the need for surgical interventions or long-term dependency on passive therapy.
Specialized expertise in complex and chronic conditions
The center is highly regarded for its effectiveness with complex and persistent conditions that have resisted treatment elsewhere. Feedback showcases successful outcomes for a wide range of issues, including:
- Chronic back pain and spinal issues, including recovery from vertebral fractures and disc prolapses.
- Long-standing joint and limb injuries, such as recurring shoulder dislocations, knee problems, and elbow mobility restrictions.
- Sports-specific injuries in athletes ranging from martial arts and netball to rock climbing and running.
- Neurological and nervous system support, including Vagus Nerve Reset therapy aimed at improving sleep, stress tolerance, and balance.
A supportive and engaging patient experience
Throughout their journey, patients emphasize Ben’s exceptional interpersonal qualities. His calm, professional, and approachable demeanor helps ease anxiety, making patients feel safe and at ease from the first consultation. Whether treating long-term chronic pain or helping a patient return to a favorite sport, Ben combines deep clinical knowledge with a genuinely passionate and encouraging style. Many reviews note that sessions are not only effective but also enjoyable and informative, leaving patients feeling empowered and optimistic about their long-term mobility and pain-free life.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Ben for a few months now to help strengthen my vagus nerve function. The difference has been very noticeable; I am able to sleep better through forming new bedtime habits and tolerate stress better. This is achieved through following several exercise, every day, between sessions. These are easy to incorporate into your everyday routine. Working with Ben, I am much more in tune with what my body is saying about its current state, and I cannot recommend him enough
Fantastic experience: I went to Ben following a knee injury that just wasn’t getting any better but after just a few visits it’s almost back to normal. So glad I did this rather than waiting for a NHS referral as that was just taking so long. Ben was very understanding of my circumstances and positive of recovery which was something I wasn’t to start with . Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Very thorough and professional who made the consultation clear and reassuring. Took time to explain the underlying cause and followed a sensible, conservative approach. Would happily recommend.
Fantastic experience: Due my day to day job combined with an accident I had a few years ago I was suffering with a few small issues. Going to see Ben was one of the best decisions I made. Working with Ben over multiple weeks with the exercises and treatment received, I quickly managed to make big progress and big improvements in my overall flexibility & agility. I’d highly recommend Ben and won’t hesitate to visit him again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Ben is understanding and nothing fazes him! He has an in-depth and unique approach to treating a problem and explains everything, his knowledge is amazing. Sessions are relaxing and fun. He listens to feedback on exercises and adjusts them with care and attention, if necessary. He has made great progress with very long-standing issues and cured some entirely, which nobody else has achieved (some began 40 years ago!). My posture and movement are significantly better. I recommend Ben whole-heartedly and have complete faith in him.
Fantastic experience: I was holding out for the NHS to remember but I fell through the cracks and luckily found Ben. And with all due respect to our healthcare system, I would not have received the personalisation and depth of care that I got from going to Ben. I've had issues with my shoulder dislocating for over 15 years and my latest episode made me realise I needed to do something or risk never being able to do certain movements again. I was with Ben for a comparatively short amount of time and the improvement has been fantastic. The pain I had is gone, the apprehension is diminishing and I actually feel like I can get back to doing the 'riskier' sports I was missing out on. Ben is friendly and open and makes you feel at ease from the get-go. Of course five stars.
Fantastic experience: Ben has been fab with my back rehab. He always made me feel at ease and I feel like I have learned so much about anatomy and the mechanics of the spine - feeling confident to take this knowledge forward in my training is priceless.
Fantastic experience: Ben has been fantastic with helping me improve my bad back (which I have had for 9 years). It is now the best it has ever felt and I never would have been able to improve this much without him. Sessions are always fun and informative too
Fantastic experience: After suffering with pain in my hips for a number of months with no progress, I was recommended Ben to see if he could help. From the first session where he explained his approach and the manner with which he did it, I was confident that with his guidance progress would be made. He never overwhelms you with hours of "homework" and what on the surface may seem like micro adjustments can make big differences. My goal at the start was to reduce the pain by 50% but after half a dozen sessions it was gone completely. I'd happily return as and when any further niggles appear as I'm confident his approach would resolve them all.
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ben highly enough! From first meeting him I immediately felt at ease. His calm and professional manner gave me the confidence to put my trust in him which has paid dividends! His assessment of what exercises would benefit me most was spot on. A gradual build up of visits and exercises has given me so much more confidence going forward. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs expert guidance and advice.
Fantastic experience: Great therapy coach. Had multiple back and hip issues that were virtually gone by the end of our sessions. Would definitely recommend Ben to anyone with a chronic or recurring injury
Fantastic experience: Ben was great in working with me to find the root cause of my issue with different exercises and get me some relief and improvement
Fantastic experience: Saw him about my shoulder and has done excellent work on helping my shoulder to get fixed. Would strongly recommend him to anyone
Fantastic experience: Ben's approach to recovery has helped me so much, he trains the brain, and it is a powerful thing! A unique approach, which I would highly recommend. 20/10
Fantastic experience: Ben has helped me with pretty bad lower back pain. I started training martial arts in my late 40s and really love it. But it got to a point where I was going to have to cut back training or even quit due to back pain after training. Luckily, since I went to see Ben I am now able to train fully with much reduced pain, to the extent I carry on training in a sport I really enjoy. I have some exercises now that help with recovery after training. Ben's technique include spotting asymmetries in my body and showing me exercises to fix them. I would definitely recommend Ben to help keep you mobile and flexible.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Ben for most of this year, he is very knowledgeable and positive about being able to help with my back issues (prolapsed discs) which is really reassuring! I’ve made amazing progress with my recovery and have been able to avoid having back surgery. Thank you Ben, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Do not hesitate. I suffered from lower back pain for 12 years on & off & had seen over 10 different therapists all of which gave different reasons for the pain, but none were able to fix it. After seeing Ben I am now pain free - he takes the time to explain everything in such detail & it all makes sense, you can see improvement in every aspect of what he does. I would recommend Ben 100%
Fantastic experience: I saw Ben over a few months for an elbow problem that was preventing me from climbing without pain. Ben systematically worked through the areas causing the issues and got me back to pain free climbing. It was always a joy having the sessions with Ben - he put me completely at ease, was friendly and professional and clearly knows his stuff. Also good for TV recommendations! Thanks Ben.
Fantastic experience: Working with Ben has been a delight. He is thorough, professional and makes you feel at ease throughout the whole process. I have worked with him for many months on various injuries and the work he has done is magic. Would highly recommend Ben to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist
Fantastic experience: Quite simply the most holistic approach to pain remediation, injury therapy and understanding of movement you'll experience. Ben defines pain and what it means in the context of your affliction and works through a variety of investigations to get to the root cause, issuing you with long term solutions to the problem. Couldn't recommend any higher.
Fantastic experience: I found myself curtseying to Ben as I left my last session. Not because he's royalty, but because it was a bend and twist movement that would have been impossible for my knee, and me, to even contemplate when I started seeing him. Through short simple exercises and his almost forensic approach, huge improvements were made. I can't thank you enough Ben. I highly recommend a visit if your limbs and joints won't let you do what you used to do.
Fantastic experience: Ben diagnosed and treated my wife's back and arm problems. He provided 4 simple exercises after each session which allowed my wife to manage her condition. The exercises were modified after each session to build on the progress made. After 5 sessions the problems had cleared up. I heartily recommend Ben as a physiotherapist. Mike.
Fantastic experience: Ben has shown me how to be pain free from a 12 year old shoulder injury and so made my working days as a builder more comfortable and my leisure time kayaking more enjoyable. Thank you Ben.
Fantastic experience: I was suffering from significant knee pain, especially after playing netball. Because of Ben, I am now pain free and able to continue playing the sport I love!
Fantastic experience: I have been taking my neurodiverse teenage son to see Ben regularly over the last 9 months for Vagus Nerve Reset. This has helped massively with his physical strength, balance, self awareness and confidence. Ben gives a few simple exercises each session that are easy to do. My son could see the difference himself. I decided to have Vagus Nerve Reset from Ben myself (49F) and it's made a huge difference to my sleep and the tension in my body is greatly reduced. I recently asked Ben to help with a knee injury. Ben went to great lengths to work out exactly what was wrong with my knee and discerned that it wasn't actually the knee causing the pain but a muscle in my thigh. A few easy exercises 3 times a day and within a few days I was able to walk up and down the stairs again without pain, which felt like a miracle! I really trust Ben, he certainly knows exactly what he is doing and keeps looking until he finds a solution to your issues. Ben is very approachable and trustworthy and even my son speaks very highly of him - which is a huge compliment! Highly recommended and it's worth the drive to Newbury if you don't live there.
Fantastic experience: An MRI scan showed I had a fracture in my vertebrae, the hospital were recommending a fusion of the spine. I was reluctant and after visiting Ben I’m glad I’ve didn’t go ahead with it. After 3 months of working with Ben, I have not only strengthened everything around the fracture but my range of motion is better than when I was a teenager. I cannot thank Ben enough and would highly recommend him to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Ben has been a miracle worker! After 2 years of worsening pain in my knee and leg, barely able to walk the dog let alone run, I am 95% pain free. Looking to start slowly back with the running and I completed a 5 mile scramble up and down a mountain in the Lake District last weekend without pain or repercussions. Ben takes time to really listen to you and works through all the details week by week. He’s also a really kind and good humoured guy! Can’t recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I dont think I am the fittest I have ever been (age does that to you!) but I am a whole load fitter and more mobile than I was 6 months ago. I remained convinced Ben is a wizard, certainly his magic is amazing.
Fantastic experience: I was having back pains and had limited movement for the last 10 years and sessions with Ben have been so informative and have given me back my range of motion. Pain levels went from 7 or 8 out of 10 to 0 within the block of 10 sessions. Helped me where years of physio have only provided temporary relief.
Fantastic experience: Ben knows his stuff. He was able to identify every problem I had with one consultation! Then each week is spent reviewing progress and assigning stretches/exercises for the following week. And every single week showed improvement. All of my pains have subsided, and we're able to diagnose new pains as they arise.
Fantastic experience: After a cycling injury many years ago, I developed a problem with my elbow that meant I had limited movement in it. The problem has been worsening for the last few years. Eventually I reached out to Ben. We have worked on the problem for the last 3 months and I have regained almost all the lost movement in my elbow. Ben really knows his stuff, I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Ben is amazing. If you have an injury go and see him. His help has made a huge difference.
Fantastic experience: Due to a chronic leg injury I was living with debilitating pain. I loved running but thought I'd never run again. I'd seen many doctors and physios who didn't really seem to help. When a friend recommended Ben, I was skeptical but also desperate to recover. Ben is approachable, knowledgeable and thorough and doesn't just forget about you once the session is over: He does a lot of work in the background to make sure he gets the treatment absolutely right. His knowledge is already astounding but if he doesn't know it, he'll learn it. It took a long time but I'm happy to say I'm back to running and am currently planning my first official race back.
Fantastic experience: Went to Ben with hip pain and he clearly knew what he was talking about and week on week the exercises help tackle issues to help stop the pain. As a PT I always get injuries and I will definitely be going back to Ben with any other injuries! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Ben is amazing at what he does, explains it so technically and what we’re doing that’s going to help. I went from being in 10/10 pain with my lower back to 2 months later deadlifting 140kg for reps
Fantastic experience: I had some serious trust issues with physios before coming to Ben with chronic back pain because I'd seen so many that didn't to get it. I immediately felt like Ben knew what he was doing as he was focused on my movement rather than just massaging and manipulating me. He was able to adjust his approach with me as I was keen to learn the reasons for the exercises he was giving me rather than just following orders. This led to a lot of good conversations about potential non-mechanical causes of my pain such as stress. It became clear that this is much more than just a job and he is genuinely passionate about helping people move better, pain free. I'm now mostly pain free but I also understand my pain better and where it comes from which is invaluable to me. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Ben is patient, kind, knowledgable - and really good physio detective. After a lifetime of mobility issues Ben was recommended to me. Hallelujah! Working with Ben I understand so much more about body connectivity, inflammation, the role of regular strength work, diet and the role of the vegas nerve! My gait has straightened, strengthened and improved dramatically. I cannnot recommend Ben highly enough.
Fantastic experience: I saw Ben after dealing with an injury for 18 months that stopped me from running. After bouncing between physios and getting nowhere I was referred to Ben who was thorough and knowledgable with his initial assessment and within 10 sessions had me running pain free and back to training. So grateful for his help and ongoing support.
Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Ben, working with him has made a massive difference to my day to day life (in a good way!). I first hurt my back more than 10 years ago doing some weight training and have tweaked it a few times since. I'd tried loads of different stretching and professionals without getting to a fuller feeling of success. I found Ben after pulling my back just warming up at the gym. Since then we've worked through lots of assessments and exercises and I've been steadily building up. I used to get random twinges just walking but that has disappeared. I'm getting more confident at the gym to progress and keep on coming back to the exercises that Ben has suggested along the way.
Fantastic experience: Ben has helped me get back to running after an injury. He didn't just focus on the injury as I've had in the past but instead worked through issues in my gait which helped recover this time and should prevent more issues in the future. He's been a pleasure to work with and would recommend him to anyone who asks!
Fantastic experience: I had tried physio several times before for a reoccurring shoulder problem that would go and then return. Finding Ben has given me the result I was hoping for! I can't rate him enough. Knowledgeable, personable and passionate about his job to help support those in discomfort and pain. Thank you Ben, I will miss our sessions, but so pleased to be pain free.
Fantastic experience: I’m coming to the end of a second round of treatment with Ben. The first was four years ago for chronic neck and head pain. This time it was lower back and hip pain. On both occasions Ben has been extremely thorough in discussing past injuries, methodically testing and working on core stability and function, providing a series of short exercises every week that have brought an end to months of pain. I’ve recommended Ben to many friends and family members. If you want to get to the root cause of what’s causing you pain, rather than just treating the symptoms then Ben is your guy!
Fantastic experience: After a long 2 year(still on going) recovery from a road accident resulting in 2 fractured vertebrae in my spine I had hit a wall in my recovery. I’ve been seeing Ben for the last 5 months and we’re making really good progress. I’m far from 100% if I ever get there, but Ben has tailored a course to suit me and it’s made a huge difference to my life post accident! I’d highly recommend to use Ben if you are suffering and would like to make a change! To me some of the best money I have ever spent, huge value for money!!
Fantastic experience: I first went to see Ben in October 2019. Following a fall at work I had started to 'place' my feet when walking rather than heel down push off from toes. Ben saw the problem and gave me exercises to do and I am now walking correctly. Other issues were also corrected along the way! He is kind, patient and very knowledgeable, always willing to listen. Excellent therapist and I would recommend in a heartbeat!
Fantastic experience: Ben has a supportive and encouraging style backed-up by knowledge and experience that make him a brilliant therapist. I would definitely recommend him if you want to get better and stay that way!
Fantastic experience: I first reached out to Ben with sporadic knee and hip pain. With Ben's guidance and knowledge we worked through any injury history and identified a cause. With some guided homework exercises the pain soon disappeared, and I was armed with the knowledge on how to prevent reoccurrences in the future. Ben's knowledge of the body as a system is plain to see and I recommend him to anyone experiencing pain not matter how severe.
Fantastic experience: I got in touch with Ben after suffering a knee injury whilst playing football. We practiced a few different movements and he quickly isolated the problem. I was really pleased with the way he explained what the issues were and helped me understand what was causing the pain. His passion and enthusiam is really apparent when he’s talking through how different parts of the body all work together. He demonstrated the exercises he wanted me to undertake at home and it was amazing to see the improvement in our next session 2 weeks later. A few more sessions and exercises carried out at home and I am now pain free. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone suffering pain, you won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Ben resolved my recurring calf injury within 2 visits - he worked out the underlying problem and fixed it with a few simple exercises. Subsequently he has diagnosed and fixed my right shoulder which has caused me discomfort for years. It is now completely pain free.
Fantastic experience: Went to Ben with a pain in my lower back. Was very professional in finding his diagnosis. Gave me exercises to help relieve the problem and I'm now pain free. Cant recommended enough!
Fantastic experience: Ben is kind, knowledgeable and patient. Who knew that a historical broken toe and appendectomy could be a cause for chronic back pain? Ben did. Also a bad case of plantar fasciitis made walking an issue. Some face to face sessions enabled Ben to work out my issues, and to give me home exercises. These started to work within a few days. Then the pandemic hit, zoom consultations were the way forward. Improvements happened daily. So my Plantar fasciitis has gone, and knowing the exercises to do are a godsend if it comes back. Whilst my back issues are more manageable thanks to the "tools" to manage the pain.
Fantastic experience: I took my Daughter to see Ben as she was suffering with very bad pain in her right hip and leg, to the point where she could barely walk. Ben has been amazing, sourcing the issues Nicola had and providing indepth knowledge to be able to devise a plan of action. Every session Nicola had, Ben provided further insight into her problems. She had weekly homework of a couple of exercises to do, which she did religiously. I am very pleased to say that Nicola is now able to walk relatively pain free and suffers with very little pain on a day-to-day basis. Ben is extremely professional and very well recommended. Thank you Ben
Fantastic experience: I visited Ben in mid 2021 as I had a groin injury preventing me from playing the sports I love. It was also creeping into my working life as an office worker, which was making work much harder for me. Ben’s guidance and help , allowed us to find the route of my problem and through corrective exercises , we eliminated the problem. Ben got me feeling better than ever and got me back to enjoying the things I love in life.
Fantastic experience: Ben has been brilliant, When I came to him, I was in a lot of pain and had been for a long while. He was patient and thorough at getting to the route of the issues and working to improve them and get me pain free. His knowledge is incredible and has developed a completely personal plan for me to keep on track. Thank you Ben
Fantastic experience: Ben’s expertise and experience has been vital to helping me with a long standing hip issue. He has helped me overcome and manage the injury to the point of being able to exercise 5 times a week with little to no repercussion. Before this I could only manage 1 maybe 2 light sessions a week.
