Blue Sky Sports Physiotherapy is a well-established Bristol based clinic started by Donna Sanderson-Hull the former Bristol Rugby and England Physiotherapist and lecturer in sports Medicine. The clinical team has now grown with a team of Chartered physiotherapists and Sports rehabilitators, who have all worked at the highest level with international and national sports teams or individuals.
The team at Blue Sky Physiotherapy has a wide range of skills and expertise, so you'll always see the right person for your issue.
Our team is committed to providing high quality, evidence based professional care to people of all ages, abilities and aspirations,
from the elite athlete to the recreational person who wants to keep active.
Blue Sky Physiotherapy was founded by Donna Sanderson-Hull in 2007. Having worked in New Zealand, she spent much of her early career working in professional rugby, including 6 seasons as physiotherapist for Bristol Rugby and a stint at the England team leading up to the 2003 World Cup. Donna then worked with pro-rugby player turned knee surgeon, Jonathan Webb at his clinic. Here she was able to further develop her knowledge of the treatment and rehabilitation of complex injuries, particularly in a sporting context.
Donna decided to open her own practice, based at
Redwood Country Club for 8 years. This practice is now located at the Clifton College Sports Grounds.
From the success of the Clifton practice, Donna opened satellite clinics in Winford and a flagship clinic in Ashton, which also runs the Concussion service. More recently she has opened her 4th satellite clinic within the Yeo Valley HQ in Blagdon where the famous yogurt is made!

I would definitely recommend Alex Ryan at Sky Physiotherapy, Ashton Gate. Alex treated me for back and leg pain with massage and exercises. I feel alot more flexible, pain free and confident for playing golf and other sports. A very professional and friendly clinic.
