Expert physiotherapy at a pace that feels calm and genuinely human.
Haven is a physiotherapy and movement clinic on Alder Row in Bristol. We take the time to understand your body, treat the cause rather than chase the ache, and build you a steady, unhurried way back to the things you love.
Caring for Bristol since 2014 · one-to-one sessions, never rushed
A full 60-minute assessment — we listen first, then plan your recovery together.
Care for the whole picture, not just the sore bit.
Whatever brought you in, we start by understanding how you move — then choose the hands-on treatment and movement that get you back to yourself.
-
Physiotherapy
Hands-on assessment and treatment for pain, injury and stiffness — with a clear plan and exercises that actually fit your week.
-
Sports rehabilitation
From a tweaked hamstring to a full return-to-sport plan, we rebuild strength and confidence so the injury doesn't come back.
-
Sports & remedial massage
Deep, targeted soft-tissue work to release tight muscles, ease tension and help you recover between training or long days at a desk.
-
Movement & Pilates classes
Small, guided classes — mat Pilates and clinical movement — to build the strength and mobility that keep you well for the long run.
Three calm steps, at your pace.
No jargon, no pressure — just a clear path from that first conversation to feeling like yourself again.
Assess
We start by listening. A thorough first session to understand your history, how you move, and what you want to get back to.
Treat
Hands-on treatment plus a simple plan you can actually follow — a few well-chosen exercises, not an overwhelming list.
Recover
We progress you gently, check in along the way, and build the strength that keeps the problem from coming back.
A small team who'll remember your name.
You will see the same physiotherapist through your recovery — someone who knows your story and works with you, not at you.

Recoveries that gave people their days back.

After months of putting up with back pain, Maya actually found the cause. Six weeks later I was back in the garden and sleeping through the night.
Helen R. Bedminster · back pain -
I tore my calf training for the half-marathon and thought my race was gone. James got me to the start line — and I finished.
Tom A. Southville · running injury -
Priya's classes rebuilt my confidence after my second baby. Calm, kind, and never once made me feel rushed.
Sofia M. Ashton · postnatal recovery
Clear prices, no surprises.
