About
Hi, I’m Wylie Ball, a Bristol local with a passion for helping people move better, feel stronger, and live healthier lives. I’m a Chartered Physiotherapist with over six years of experience across the public and private sectors, treating a wide range of patients with everything from sports injuries to longer-term conditions. I have a particular interest in running and swimming injuries and rehabilitation, helping people recover, build strength, and get back to doing what they love.
My passion for health and movement started at a young age. Growing up, I competed in swimming at national level, spending countless hours in the pool. Over the years, I’ve taken on challenges including a relay Channel Swim in 2017, Windermere One Way in 2019, the Great North Swim in 2024, and the Weymouth 70.3 Half Ironman.
More recently, running has become a constant in my life, as it has for many people, and this has naturally developed into a growing interest in triathlon. I enjoy keeping active through running, swimming, cycling, strength training, golf, to name a few, and I’m always looking for the next challenge. My goals for 2027 include the Newport Marathon and Copenhagen Half Marathon.
Being active myself gives me an appreciation of the demands that exercise, sport, and everyday life can place on the body. Whether you’re struggling with a running injury, looking to return to swimming, managing a sports-related problem, or dealing with an injury that’s affecting your day-to-day life, I’m here to help. Get in touch to book an appointment, and together we’ll work towards getting you back to your best.
Health, sport, and activity have always been central to who I am. I’ve always been passionate about staying active and understanding how the body works, but more importantly, I value the sense of purpose that comes from helping others regain their confidence, mobility, and independence.
That passion is at the heart of Wylie Ball Physiotherapy. My approach is simple, honest, and effective. I believe in treating what I see, empowering you with the right tools, and promoting lasting behavioural changes that support a healthier, happier life.
If you’re looking for straightforward physiotherapy that focuses on you and your goals, you’re in the right place.
Education
2017-2020
BSc Physiotherapy (Hons)
University of the West of England (UWE)
I completed my BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy at the University of the West of England, a professionally accredited course that combines theoretical study with extensive practical experience. The programme covered anatomy, physiology, clinical reasoning, and advanced physiotherapy practice across the lifespan, while placing a strong emphasis on hands-on skills. Through a good range of placements in NHS and private settings, I gained the relevant experience and tools to confidently enter the profession and make a real difference in people’s lives, applying evidence-based care to support their recovery and wellbeing.
2012-2015
BA Sport and Social Sciences (Hons)
University of Bath
I studied Sport and Social Sciences at the University of Bath, where I gained a strong understanding of human behaviour, sociology, and psychology. The course explored how social, cultural, and psychological factors influence sport, health, and wellbeing, equipping me with valuable insights into human motivation and behaviour. This knowledge has enhanced my ability to understand and support individuals, complementing my physiotherapy practice by enabling me to address not only physical recovery but also the psychological and social aspects of health.
