It's Time To Get 360° Fit
Whether you’re new to fitness or a professional athlete, physiotherapy in Bristol with me, Sarah Bryan, can help you reach beyond your goals.
Physiotherapy
All physiotherapy treatment starts with a subjective and objective initial assessment/examination that lasts 60 minutes:
- I will talk with you about your history and ask you questions relating to your injury or problem, including what your symptoms are and what makes you feel better or worse
- I will ask about previous injuries, other current or past medical conditions, as well as your daily activities such as work, sports and hobbies in order to determine factors contributing to your problem
- I will then do a physical assessment and bio-mechanical exam to assess your movement and problem areas. Along with your history, this will help me determine the cause of your pain and dysfunction and how to treat it most effectively and efficiently
- A diagnosis will be discussed, along with the reasoning behind my conclusions. Treatment is always explained in detail, and home exercises are issued if deemed appropriate. Treatment varies and can include soft tissue release, massage, and joint mobilisation. Movement pattern analysis, gait re-education, strength training, muscle function re-education are also areas that may need to be explored. On the rare occasions physiotherapy may be unsuitable, I will always suggest alternative routes to well being.
I see my physiotherapy patients at my clinic in Monarch House, Unit 7, 1-7 Smyth Road, Bristol, BS3 2BX.

Physiotherapy Fees:
- £80 for an initial assessment – 60 minutes
- £60 for a face-to-face follow up consultation – 40 minutes
Physiotherapy FAQs:
Do I need a GP referral? You can self refer to physiotherapy and as such you don’t need a referral from your GP. However, if you have private medical insurance your policy may need you to be referred by a doctor (please review your policy details). Please note that most health insurance patients are seen, but AXA and BUPA referrals are not accepted for the time being.
What is your cancellation policy? We require 24 hours notice for cancellation of your appointment so your time may be filled by someone on the waiting list. If you cancel your appointment with less than 24 hours notice, a cancellation fee of 50% of the visit fee will be charged.
What do I need to bring? Please bring any test results or specialist reports you might have already. If you are using health insurance to pay for your treatment then please bring your membership number and pre-authorisation number with you. It’s also useful to bring a pair of shorts with you. Ladies, please wear a regular bra, not a sports bra. Please also bring any footwear that may contribute to your symptoms and/or orthotics that you are currently using for support. Ideally, it’s best not to bring children to your appointment so you can fully focus on your session, but if that’s a problem please let me know.
Pilates
In addition to physiotherapy, at 360Physio Pilates we can help strengthen your core and take the pressure off your back and joints. Our classes help you move beyond those niggles and injuries towards a healthier, fitter and happier you. You will have an initial assessment at Monarch House (a 1-2-1 session), then the class options will be discussed. You will commence at the start of a term that runs in line with the local school authority.
Currently being held via live in hall classes (usually at Bishopston and Southville locations). I run five Pilates classes a week on:
- Tuesday at 7pm and 8pm
- Friday at 9.15am, 10.15am and 2pm
- Additional Pre-Recorded Pilates sessions are also available for those attending Pilates or those who have attended Pilates with Sarah before
Pilates Fees:
- Price per class is £13 at a hall and £7.50 for Pre-Recorded. The total price will be dependent on the duration of the term.

The 360° Approach
My name is Sarah Bryan and as a qualified, experienced Physiotherapist, I’m here to help you break through your own ceiling of expectation with regards to health, fitness and achievement. Whether you’re a new mum, a recreational tri-athlete, or a sports professional, I’m here to help you move beyond those niggles and injuries towards a healthier, fitter and happier you.
Everyone has a different perception of what they need from physiotherapy. My role is to listen and treat the short term immediate pain or injury, but longer term to identify what has led you down this path and to minimise re-occurrences. The focus from my treatment is always to give everyone the tools to self-manage and to be able to maintain the improvements, but be here, ready and available if this isn’t enough.
Pilates can be of enormous benefit to those struggling with back issues as it focuses on strengthening the core muscles, providing that much needed support for your back and joints.
Why 360? Because I believe in the importance of complete physical care, and I’m here to make my patients fit enough to break through the ceiling of your own expectations, going beyond what you initially thought was physically possible. I get great results too and I’m extremely proud of my patients’ achievements:
- A complete beginner runner achieved their dream of running the Mont Blanc ultra marathon
- A suspected ‘career ending injury’ didn’t mean the end of a career – in fact it led to qualifying for a national team
- A patient suffering with lower back pain due to bio-mechanical deficiencies now copes with driving for two hours without inhibition, and undertakes a job that requires regular commuting
- A patient able to return to her cardio regime of 3.5km runs a week with an independent self-care plan.
Above are just a few examples of the effectivement of physiotherapy.
Don’t let back pain, bio-mechanical issues, poor posture and other musculo-skeletal problems hold you back from achieving your fitness goals. For Physiotherapy or Pilates enquiries and bookings please call me on 07522 891193 or email me at sarah@sb360physio.com
About Me
I have worked as a Chartered Physiotherapist for many years, initially qualifying with a BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy and a postgraduate MSc in Sports Physiotherapy. I am also skilled in Acupuncture (AACP) and have trained to teach pilates with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute (APPI).
I have worked at several international and national level sports competitions including three Commonwealth Games. I was also a team Physiotherapist at Gloucestershire County Cricket Club for ten years and the Welsh Netball team for six. I really enjoy placing the skills I have learnt into my clinic-based individual programmes for each client to diagnose and treat the immediate pain, restoring normal function and then aiming to return each client to a better than ever expected 360 degrees of wellbeing and fitness.
As a further interest I have completed a certificate in Spinal Manual Therapy and have a high caseload of those struggling with debilitating pelvic, hip and lower back pain.
