about us
Gloucester's Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic provides a wide ranging physiotherapy service (including manual therapy, exercise therapy and acupuncture) to relieve pain and increase mobility. Taking GP referrals, private patients and legal cases, the clinic is one of the best-regarded in Gloucestershire.
Choosing the right physiotherapist can change your life for the better. Whether you're suffering from acute pain, musculoskeletal problems, sports-related injuries; or recovering from an operation, physiotherapy can help you regain full movement and significantly decrease or even eliminate feelings of pain. It can, in short, help you get your life back.
Of course, you'll want to choose a chartered physiotherapist with lots of relevant experience; a physiotherapist like Lana-Marie Abbey at the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic in Gloucester…
Lana qualified in 1993 and has retained her passion for physiotherapy over the last two decades; first in a hospital environment, then with local orthopaedic consultants. In the last few years she has branched out again, taking over the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic and turning it into one of the most in-demand clinics in the region.
Serving a mix of legal related cases and private medical cases, the clinic has grown considerably since Lana took over. But this isn't an impersonal environment. Far from it. There is a welcoming atmosphere and a friendly feeling that makes coming for treatment so much less intimidating for the first timer. The team has also grown to take on two additional physiotherapists and a sports masseuse.

Following bone surgery to my left foot and being only partially mobile for three months, I was referred to the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic for a series of appointments of intensive physiotherapy. The physiotherapists extensive experience and patience has helped me to a steady recovery, to the point where I am now even able to play golf.I thoroughly recommend the practice to anyone who is in need of an excellent physiotherapist.

The Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic has been excellent throughout what was a very long and difficult rehabilitation. I have nothing but praise for the fabulous service, care and attention that I received. The physiotherapist was most accommodating and went over and above what was expected, using her unrivaled knowledge to overcome some complex situations along the way. She is a very personable professional whoâs treatment was always very effective.I wish you much success in the future and cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me and would have no hesitation in recommending the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic.

I developed back and neck problems after several years of predominantly desk based work. The Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic helped treat my back and neck, and just as importantly taught me to identify the cause of my problem and to prevent further recurrences. My treatment was aided by a unique combination of excellent physiotherapy skills and engaging personalities. I have since sent several family members their way. Anita Stevens NHS professional
Over the last 2 years working in conjunction with the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic has allowed me to progress my clients in the most safest and dynamic way possible. In turn it has given me as a personal trainer the confidence to know that my clients well being is totally being catered for which is paramount to the service I offer.

I would just like to thank the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic for the support they provided recently, following some difficulties with a neck problem; which resulted in four weeks off work and ongoing issues for six months and the need to take a range of drugs to maintain some normality. After visiting the clinic, my neck is now much improved and I have now given up taking the painkillers etc. Without their support, I would still be struggling. Ian Ellis, Chief Executive
Following my ACL replacement operation the physio I received allowed me to return to the same standard of badminton as before the operation. After subsequently injuring the ACL in my other knee I was happy to return as I was confident that the level of treatment I would receive would enable me to return to my sport again. I would be happy to recommend the Alexandra Physiotherapy Clinic to anyone seeking physio treatment. Barbara Webb Technical Services Manager
