Reviews of Blue Sky Sports Physiotherapy

K. E.

I cannot recommend this team enough. From VICKI and IONA at reception to NATASHA and ALEX who ran us through our tailored physio sessions. We always left with more knowledge than we came in with which is credit to their dedication. In the end, all our muscle issues were resolved which frankly says it all!

E. S.

Had lower back problems for over 2 years other Physio’s and doctors haven’t been able to help or sort the problem. I had 12 sessions with Sean and he has improved my back massively and helped me feel the best I’ve felt in the last 2 years. Great staff, professional and friendly, would definitely recommend.

L. S.

Just moved to the area and visited here for the first time. Had a sports massage with Alex. One of the best practitioners I've used over the past few years. Great assessment, great technique, great treatment. He knows his stuff and so I'll be going back here again. Thanks!

j. p.

I started seeing Sean after having my second shoulder surgery because I’ve dislocated my shoulder several times. His sessions have been brilliant and has helped get my shoulder back to normal. 100% recommend!

L. L.

After 6 months of weekly Circuit training at Blue Sky I was amazed to be told on an independent medical assessment that my metabolic age had dropped by 10 years from last year’s assessment. More muscle, less fat! Thank you 👍👏

Over the years , as a sportsman, skier and construction worker , i have visited many different physiotherapists , and I can say with no doubt that Donna at blue sky sports is quite easily the best ! Her knowledge of sport injuries is second to none , and her lack of BS ! Is refreshing, in an industry that is not always the case , The treatment is always with a sympathetic ear, but always truthful, you are always given instruction for self help between sessions which always aid recovery. Plus because of the respect she has earned within the medical community, as I have personally found out , after having knee surgery , my surgeon said to me , don’t worry Donna will sort you out from here , these comments were echoed by consultants and surgeons alike !!! I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Donna and her professional team , to my family , friends and anyone who has an injury . In closing , if you do seek Donna and blue sky sports help , follow their advice and rehab plan for a speedy recovery Chris Lloyd

A. C.

Friendly, welcoming and reassuring. The team are very knowledgeable and help you find ways to fit your recovery around your daily life. They are supportive and understanding. Donna and her team have been able to offer me some good sound advice to carry through when I no longer need their services. I highly recommend them.

V. A.

Currently having treatment on a poorly shoulder and ankles (possibly menapause related). Donna and Natasha are absolutely brilliant. Movement is getting better every week. I am and will recommend far and wide.

A. M.

Thank you so much Natasha! Did my first run post ankle injury with you today and couldn’t be happier. Guided me so well through rehabilitation, really recommend! All the staff are just lovely and made me feel very comfortable!

H. W.

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.

T. O.

Following a recommendation from a current customer have seen Donna five times since late November and the results have been fantastic!. Have also followed an exercise plan updated regularly by Donna....the service and advice have made a real difference; back pain now gone and planning to play golf this weekend for the first time in a long time. Highly recommend.

J. B.

I have been having treatment for a couple of months for a painful knee problem, with Natasha Diment. She diagnosed the problem, which is mainly to do with my upper leg and hip muscles not being strong enough to cope with the exercise I'm doing. She has given me a lot of exercises (which she updates regularly) and also some massage. I have had an 80% reduction in the pain and can feel that my legs are stronger. I am really pleased and impressed with the treatment I have received. Natasha is very knowledgable, professional,encouraging and friendly.

C.

I've been going to Blue Sky Sports Physio for a few months now after suffering chronic groin pain for almost 1.5 years after hitting the golf course a little too much. Being only 22, this pain had a pretty substantial impact on my physical and mental state. I'd already seen one physio before which couldn't quite get me back to the standard I wanted to be in. I can safely say that I'll be going to Blue Sky for any future problems. Sean's been fantastic and explains all of his reasons in depth for choosing exercises. He methodically strengthened up all of the muscle groups around my hips and one by one my lower half has become far more stable and all pain is now minimal/non-existent. I'll continue going to get back on the sports fields. Highly recommend!

M. A.

After being referred by Donna, I committed to a set of sessions with Alex Ryan to regain tone and fitness to my shoulders, back and core. Although a keen spinner/walker with reasonable cardio health, my 62 year old posture was poor and the aches, pains and stiffness associated with a lack of fitness in the above areas were frustrating. Ive just finished my last session with Alex and my improvement has been superb. Through a combination of great sports massage, introduction to targeted exercises in the fully equipped gym at BSSP/Ashton and exercise sheets to use at home using therabands and minimal equipment, I feel so, so much better. My posture has improved, I’ve got great tone to my back/shoulders/hip/glute areas and my core is much stronger. I will receive a personal exercise/training plan this week. Alex is a very professional, personable, likeable and friendly character and I can see he really enjoys seeing the improvement in clients fitness and helping them achieve their goals. I’m writing this because it’s just beyond Xmas and I can’t think of a better way to start the new year than tackling your fitness/rehabilitation needs with Alex’s help! Thank you Alex and Donna!

I was referred to see Donna at blue sky physio by a Dr on behalf of my daughter who has on going lower back pain and a chiropractor was not helping. Donna managed to see my daughter within a week, carried out a thorough examination and sent us away with exercises to do. It was recommended that she had an MRI, to which Donna sorted this out for us within a few days of me asking her. From emailing Blue sky to a consultation, treatment and an MRI, it has been outstanding service especially in the current Covid situation. I would highly recommend Donna and she has given us some hope.

B. D.

Donna saw us at very short notice, was brilliant in her diagnosis, and knew exactly how to talk to a semi-professional young sportsperson. We had the severity of the injury clearly explained to us, but we also left understanding that it wasn't the end of the world and how the route to recover should happen. She also referred us to the Nuffield for an MRI two days later. Perfect support for both my daughter and I. I would totally recommend her to anyone who needs sports physiotherapy

L. O.

In short, absolutely first class. I emailed a number of physios one evening in desperation after a sudden and totally debilitating back issue. Blue Sky saw me the following afternoon as Donna put on appointment in a slot that didn’t exist in the new branch which wasn’t even open! I came away able to move, most importantly, and with a level of information that I thought would not be possible without scans and exercises to do to help relieve the acute issue. Following the second appointment I now have a renewed short term plan with new exercises based on the progress that had been made and am pain free, but also a long term mentality aimed at prevention rather than waiting until something goes wrong again. I would not use anybody else, easy 5 stars.

T. A.

I have been working with Donna since 2014. She is a great clinician and has been an amazing physiotherapist and has helped get my physical health and life back on track. She is warm hearted and a great motivator. Cannot recommend her too highly.

J. D.

Donna is an excellent physio who has managed to sort me out in respect of various ailments over the years. Not only is Donna great at providing treatment, she has a fantastic knowledge of what caused the issue and what exercises are needed for rehab to strengthen the body and to prevent it happening again. Donna helped resolve issues I was having with my knees which allowed me to take up skiing and is currently helping me resolve calf issues so I can continue to participate in triathlons. I highly recommend.

R. W. P.

I was originally recommended Blue sky physiotherapy by my partner who had previously had some treatment with Donna, and I can absolutely see why. I had a great consultation with Donna, not only is she extremely knowledgable but the service was fantastic throughout the appointment and has been ever since. Would very much highly recommend for anyone seeking a high quality physio!

J. B.

Alex has been amazing. Thanks so much. My son has been motivated to do his exercises and after his injury improved not only physically but in confidence and is back to cycling and playing football with friends.

A. D.

Alex Ryan came and supported the Bearhug team at the Cardiff Half 2022. His massage was exceptional and certainly helped the DOMS over the following days. I'd highly recommend the extremely knowledgable, professional and friendly service the Blue Sky team offer!

J. S.

Just had my initial assessment with Donna and her team and all I can is amazing!!! Donna was so detailed in helping me understand my issues and although my injury is knee related she investigated my feet and recommended insoles to help, I also had some one on one time with a chap based at the clinic apologise of you read this but my memory is terrible for names but he was great as well and really walked me through some strength excercise and stretches. Once again guys thank you so much for such a detailed and personal visit and I look forward to improving my injury with you. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

E. L.

I had a niggling back injury from some months back and decided to go for physiotherapy to try to sort it out. Natasha Diment spent time diagnosing the problem, massaging and finding exercises at the correct level to alleviate the pain. She has shown a lot of thought and checked up on my progress during the time when I was on holiday and couldn't attend the clinic. This has been really successful and I have no doubt that seeking out physiotherapy was absolutely the right decision for me. Thank you Natasha!

L. M.

I have been seeing Alex for several weeks to get help with lower back pain. He has been an excellent therapist - he listens, is very knowledgeable, is skilled at massage, and confident in his assessment, diagnosis and what rehabilitation exercises are required. He is also very personable - a great all-rounder. My back is now back to normal. Thank you.

N. M.

Super impressed with these guys - I’d had a niggling knee for months and months and finally arranged to see someone. Sean was so easy to work with - knowledgeable yet relaxed - and soon had the root cause nailed. He devised an evolving set of exercises that rebuilt some missing muscle mass, gave lots of encouragement and a few massages and I was on my way: niggle free in less than three months. Why, why, why did I wait for nearly a year before booking an appointment with Sean?!!

a. m.

wow what can I say! Donna has been fantastic in helping me move forward after an awful injury to my leg, I wish I had met her earlier in my recovery. fab service and explains everything in such dept you really understand the areas your working on and why it's so important. I thought there had come a point where I could no longer do anything for my pain and mobility until now!

B. S.

I've had 3 sessions with Natasha Diment over the last 4 weeks and in that time I have gone from daily knee pain to none! She gave me an easy to follow plan that was adjusted as I improved and it worked wonders! If like me you need guidance on how to overcome an injury I highly recommend you seek Natasha's help!

M. N.

Donna was an excellent physio! I contacted Blue Sky Sports Physio towards the end of my rehab for ACL reconstruction. She assessed the level I was at with my knee in the first session and then gave me great sessions each week which progressed nicely. I saw excellent results and gained muscle and stability quickly. Towards the end, Donna introduced sport specific exercises which gave me more confidence on my knee so I could start playing again. I would definitely recommend Blue Sky Sports Physio- Donna was lovely, the facilities were great and I felt very supported in my rehab.

M. B.

I went to Blue Sky having had a niggling lower back issue that had been going on for about a year. I saw Sean Lewis who was amazing, I had been to another physio firm previously but hadn't managed to make too much progress on the issue, but within the first session Sean had identified the likely causes (over-tight hip flexor and upper back straining the lower back). I got a mix of stretches and strength work to do and Sean even explained the research behind the specific combination of moves I was doing. I'm also moving away so only had 2 weeks to sort the issue, and we fit in 3 sessions and I'm already seeing progress which is amazing considering I've been trying to sort this for the past year. Would fully recommend Blue Sky and Sean to anyone!

J. M.

Donna has been a real find for me! Exceptional Physio therapist with the knowledge, and experience which make her approach absolutely outstanding. I have worked with a number of Physio's over the years, but none that treat the person as a whole, rather than just the symptom. A combination of major surgery, severe concussion and bad habits left me weak and in pain. Donna has rebuilt me to a level I didn't think possible through a new way of doing things, together with a well thought out rehabilitation programme driving stamina, strength and reduced pain. She has exceptional experience, has taught her profession to others, and has a passion for the industry rarely seen. I would recommend Donna to anyone who is struggling, and needs help what ever the fitness level, young or old. An amazing lady to work with!

C. G.

I've had problems with my leg while running for a few months and have tried resting, which didn't seem to help. After a couple of sessions with Sean at Clifton, it's feeling infinitely better. He gave me a good programme with many different exercises which have helped strengthen the muscles and tendons in my leg. Sean obviously has good knowledge of these sports issues and enjoys doing sport himself, so I definitely felt in good hands. If the issue returns I'll definitely be going back before it gets worse. Would definitely recommend to someone who has had any issues with running if they're looking for exercises and a programme to recover.

M. A.

I had treatment for a back injury - Donna was clear and knowledgeable and her treatment was brilliant, I noticed improvements immediately. I am a professional circus performer so I have seen many physio's and healthcare practitioners; for me, Donna is by far the best physio I've found in the area. Would definitely recommend.

R. A.

I cannot recommend Donna and Blue Sky Physio enough! I had been to many physios and osteopaths over the years but it was only when I started working with Donna that the root of my back problems were identified. Very quickly, Donna isolated the area, symptoms and gave a prognosis that was so precise I wondered how everyone else had missed it for so long! Donna's care is second to none and one feels in safe and secure hands. Her range of scope for treatment is extensive - it's no wonder she has worked at such a high level in her field. I feel very fortunate that Donna has this private practice that can heal professional and non-professional sports players alike. I literally tell anyone with any body pain to visit Donna - not only is she warm, welcoming and puts you at ease immediately, she is extremely good at her job!

M. L.

I was in real pain with my knee. Found it difficult to walk and stand. I had come to Bristol for a wedding and Natasha fitted me in at very short notice. Her professionalism and the care she took,not only with her diagnosis but the treatment she gave me plus an excercise programme helped enormously. I was able to enjoy the wedding the next day too. Natasha. Thank you so much. Now home from my second wedding within a week and whilst not completely pain free it is so much improved. I continue the excercise and have more physio booked locally tomorrow. If I lived nearer would unhesitatingly be back. Thank you Natasha Diment. I hope to be back playing tennis before very long.

L. H.

Donna has worked magic on a very sore shoulder. I have felt completely safe going in during Covid lockdown as their hygiene has been first class and they are always sensitive to this aspect. I've been to Blue Sky a couple of times in the last 2 years and both times they've been brilliant... I would recommend them very highly. Easy to make appointments as well, and good locations which are easy to get to and park!

L. M.

I need a specific diagnosis to establish if I needed to take action now or if given time this situation would pass. I am used to seeing what are "chronic conditions" resolve in due course but felt I needed to check what progress this condition would make give other therapeutic support. It was useful to be advised this needed further investigation and specialist advice early

K. H.

I was recommended Donna after I had the result of my MRI scan. Her expertise in explaining what I have to do and how it will help with my back problems, has given the confidence to commit 100% to exercise plan she has given me. It has only been two months but I am already feeling the benefits. Donna has my total commitment and with her support and detailed explanation of the purpose of each new exercise I know I'll be playing golf again before the summer.

C. I.

I've been visiting Donna at Blue Sky for almost 15 years. Most of my rehab has been as a result of serious rugby injuries (including knee and shoulder reconstructions). On both occasions, Donna's expert guidance and encouragement has resulted in full recoveries over and above the surgeons expectations. Having given up the rugby, I continue to enjoy an active and healthy lifestyle, all of which may not have been possible without Donna's help. We have recommended friends and family to use Donna following injuries or niggles and she never manages to disappoint. If you have any sporting or everyday injuries I would highly recommend using Blue Sky Physio. I wouldn't turn to anyone else.

E. Y.

I can’t recommend BlueSkySport Physio highly enough. Donna is simply one of the best physiotherapist in Bristol. She has helped me and my family with various injuries over a number of years. Donna has outstanding knowledge, but also talent for healing and for helping people. I’ve also recently met Charlie Samuel who specializes in rehabilitation programs. The advice and exercises I’ve been given by both Donna and Charlie are already making a huge difference and I’m almost pain free for the first time in months. I have no hesitation in recommending the clinic to anyone who needs a professional and effective treatment for any musculoskeletal problems. Thank you so much!

J. W.

I was referred to Blue sky following a significant knee operation and subsequent infection which resulted in limited movement of my knee joint and various associated complexities. Donna was able to quickly identify exactly what needed to happen and at what pace balancing the risk of impacting the infection and enhancing joint movement taking a holistic approach to recovery to prevent the knee issue having a knock on effect of other joints. The home exercise regime was also really helpful to maintain progress in between appointments.

E. S.

The service and the experience working with Donna was remarkable, after a serious cycling accident 4 years ago, recurring shoulder/neck problems have been he order of the day. But Donna has a remarkable knowledge of matters and techniques that a Physiotherapist can apply and do. Search no more, just pick up phone, make the call, set the appointment and improvement will follow.

T. F.

Very experienced, knowledgable and offer range of different specialties. Donna and Paul were amazing and got me back to playing rugby after a year with injury. Decided there was no one better to take care of my niggles during the season/off season and they proved me right, going above and beyond to help me get back to normal physical activity, they really care about their clients. Thank you.

F. G.

I’m a 17 year old boy and I’m taking my A levels at the end of May. 6 months ago I suffered a tibial plateau fracture leaving me with massive pain and worrying about stages of recovery. I started seeing Donna around a month ago at Blue Sky Physio and my progression in recovery has been unbelievable. I’ve gone from 2 crutches to fully weight bearing within space of a month. She is very kind and considerate and has a real interest in every patient she sees. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

a. w.

Donna was recommended to me by a consultant and a personal trainer for my back problems which I have had for 15 years. I had chronic back pain which prevented me from sleeping and exercising. Within 6 weeks of seeing Donna I have had the first pain free days I've had for years and am able to exercise more freely. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Very personable, very professional and reasonably priced.

K. R.

I have been seeing Sean Lewis for concussion. The rehab I've had with him has been excellent and the only treatment that has had any positive effect for my concussion after struggling for months with post concussion syndrome. The Complete Concussion Management program they follow is fantastic. After two months of seeing Sean I am getting closer to the quality of life I had pre concussion. I highly recommend Blue Sky (Sean Lewis) for anyone suffering from concussion.

C. R.

Extensive and very helpful programme. I saw a significant improvement in my strength with Sean Lewis. Worth every penny

C. P.

First class diagnosis, treatment and experience. After numerous other disappointing and inferior consultations, my experience with Donna and Blue Sky was first class. I will not even consider going elsewhere in the future, what a fantastically run, efficiently administered practice.

R. L.

I cannot speak more highly of Donna and her team at Blue Sky. I have seen at least 15 different private physios after trying to recover from a complicated and serious accident over the years. Not one came close to the knowledge and expertise donna has shown. She has taken me from being unable to sit down and having uncontrollable nerve issues and muscles spasms to being back to all my sports (MTB surfing and climbing), being able to sit down and live a normal life again. I cannot explain how life changing meeting donna has been. No one else including the NHS had a clue what to do, but donna put her knowledge to the test and has done me proud. Blue sky are the only physios you should go see..

A. G.

I highly recommend Donna at Blue Sky. I have found her to be kind, understanding and compassionate. She saw me at short notice for my first appointment with her and she has helped me immensely. Donna is very dedicated to her clients and in helping them recover. Thank you

B. G.

Blue sky physio have been brilliant! I had an initial consultation with Donna then have worked with Charlie since. I've experienced a fair amount of sports physiotherapists in my time and I can say that my experience here has been thorough and effective. Thanks team!

J. C.

I have had recent (and ongoing) treatment from Donna for a back injury. She has been professional, understanding and highly knowledgable and has provided very effective treatment. I am convinced that this treatment has significantly speeded up my recovery. Impressive and highly recommended.

C. S.

I highly recommend Donna and Blue Sky. Due to Covid-19, our session was conducted via video but that wasn't a problem and it was still entirely valuable. Donna's expert knowledge was explained clearly and gave me a better understanding of my injury and how I can start recovering.

C.

I worked with Sean on a foot issue and some related knee and hip mobility issues. I’m a longtime endurance athlete and have worked with many health professionals in the US and the UK. Sean was one of the finest I have ever worked with—he’s extremely thorough and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him!

C. H.

Donna has been amazing with my daughter Amelia, not only helping to repair the damage but set up prevention programme to follow for many year to come. Thanks for your help Chris Honor

D. N.

Having suffered with a niggling hip for a few months which was progressively worsening I finally decided to do something about it. Sean was great, very informative and pulled together an exercise plan for me, which he also emailed across so no excuses! These exercises have helped strengthen other muscle groups and I am no longer suffering. Just wish I’d gone earlier!

s. Y.

Alex Ryan has been brilliant over the last couple of months, my back has improved so much. He has encouraged me every step of the way and made me believe it will get better! Thank you Alex.

D. P.

Sean Lewis was excellent. A good listener who was easily able to diagnose my issue. He was flexible and adapted his approach as I progressed. Highly recommended.

r. b.

I have been very impressed by Donna and her team at Blue Sky. I have particularly welcomed the empathy they have shown - they know when to push, when to encourage and when to offer support.

J. R.

Have had quite a few years with back pain from slipped disc and seen various physios and other specialists. Donna was referred by my consultant and she has done wonders! Back pain virtually gone in around 4 weeks and now working with Charlie on strengthening my core. Thanks Donna.

A. B.

Had a very frustrating year with back spasms, Donna has nearly fixed me in six weeks. Explained her diagnosis clearly, and told me what I needed to do. Back playing golf again, two first places and one runner up, in a fortnight, I'm a fan! Thanks Donna.

C. H.

Both Paul and Donna were extremely knowledgable and helpful in helping me recover from injury. They were also very friendly and always available when I had questions or needed any help!

N. M.

I have been treated by Donna and the rest of her professional team for over 15 years, they provide fantastic care and will get you moving again before you know it. Can't recommend them enough.

T. W.

Extraordinary quality of work from Donna Sanderson built on experience helping England rugby through to world titles and teaching GPs to diagnosis problems better.

N. f.

Brilliant physiotherapy program set up for me over video meetings only due to covid 9 Donna Sanderson Hull is brilliant and can offer great value even in lockdown A big thank you for helping me to recover from hip surgery

D. H.

Great massage from Alex following my half marathon. Really knowledgeable and friendly.

S. C.

Sean quickly assessed the problem, gave clear rehab instructions and provided me with the relevant exercises to help facilitate a speedy recovery. Thanks very much!

S. W.

Natasha is professional, effective and friendly. Highly recommended.

V. L.
