About The Bristol Massage Centre

Bryan, clinical remedial and sports massage therapist in Bristol

After spending three transformative years in Australia, where he was inspired by the nation’s passion for sport, Bryan chose to pursue a career in complementary medicine. Upon returning to the UK, he enrolled at The London Therapy Centre in North London, where he studied Anatomy, Physiology, and Body Massage.

After completing an intensive two-year program, Bryan earned his qualification as an ITEC Massage Therapist.

Bryan has since brought his expertise to some of Europe’s most prestigious spas , including Chewton Glen and Thermae Bath Spa. While he values the holistic approach of spa environments, Bryan’s true passion lies in working with clients who have specific medical conditions, using massage therapy to make a tangible difference in their health and well-being.

This dedication led Bryan to establish The Bristol Massage Centre in November 1995 to now practice in the serene and peaceful facilities of the award-winning St Pauls Community Sports Academy in Bristol

Bryan has travelled and trained at top massage schools around the world. He continually updates his skills to offer the highest level of care and professionalism, ensuring every client receives the most attentive and effective massage therapy possible.

Bryan has consistently impressed me with his anatomical knowledge and without his interventions I suspect that the pain in my neck and shoulders, coupled with nerve pain, would quickly become unbearable. I also find that my appointments with Bryan are very helpful in helping me to be more aware of the level of resting tension I have been holding onto and how effective the exercises I've been doing have been in addressing it.

Bryan is a true professional to the last, with a thorough understanding of the anatomy relevant to massage. As a professional musician and amateur gym-goer, I have hugely benefited from Bryan’s expertise and ability. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for muscle relief and recovery.

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ... I've had headaches, tight neck/shoulders and sleepless nights this season so I've gone online and booked in for a massage. Was running late due to traffic but didn't worry about parking at the Academy which was easy. The staff were great, waited 2 mins if that. The room is very relaxed, after a quick consult I had a deep tissue massage with Bryan hoping he'd be able to release the tension. He didn't disappoint, he certainly knows his stuff ... full body massage, with music, arm rest under the bench and that cream is just awesome. Bryan has such a professional intuitive manner and makes you feel at ease during the session. You just don't realise how much tension/tightness lies hidden in your body ... he finds and addresses the problem areas especially my legs, back and shoulders. After the treatment my mood definitely changed. I walked out of St Paul's Academy feeling so much lighter, relaxed and upright. I won't leave it so long next time. Third day in and I've been sleeping much better, the headaches have gone and the range of movement in my neck has increased without the twinges ... that was getting worse since the Autumn. All sorted now. Thanks Bryan ... appreciate it was deep/intense but it was exactly what I asked for and needed. I'll be booking in once a month through the Autumn and Winter Seasons to try out the Tai massage next. Definitely worth the visit and highly recommended.

Bryan is amazing. I went to him due to reviews I had looked up. He really knows what he is talking about and you can feel his experience in the way he massages. I have been to alot of people but feel he really understood what was going on for my Injury and it really feels like a new arms has been attached from the work we have done so far. Very much recommend!

Brian always listens and does the right massage for the issue. The leisure Centre is welcoming, the toilets are well cleaned. The massage room is very warm , the bench comfortable.
