GW Physiotherapy is led by Laura Gardner-Wedge, a highly skilled Chartered Physiotherapist with an MSc in Physiotherapy. She holds memberships with MCSP, MHCPC, BAHT, and APPI. Laura combines strong academic knowledge with extensive clinical experience gained in both private clinics and NHS hospitals across Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and Avon. Her expertise focuses mainly on musculoskeletal outpatient care and orthopaedic inpatient services.
Moreover, Laura specialises in upper limb conditions and hand therapy. As a member of the British Association of Hand Therapists, she delivers expert treatment to help patients regain hand function and reduce pain. Laura always personalises her approach, concentrating on each patient’s individual needs.
In addition, Laura works with elite sportspeople. She supports the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) during international professional tournaments held in Great Britain. Besides this, Laura is a registered tennis coach with the LTA Club Coach Award (CCA). This unique combination enables her to apply advanced biomechanics and technical analysis to support tennis players in injury prevention and rehabilitation.
GW Physiotherapy offers a broad range of treatments tailored to musculoskeletal problems, sports injuries, and rehabilitation. Laura provides personalised sessions designed to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve function. She uses manual therapy, exercise programmes, and patient education to ensure long-lasting recovery.
One distinctive service is the integration of Pilates into rehabilitation. Pilates helps enhance core strength, posture, and flexibility. These benefits support injury recovery and prevent future problems. Each Pilates session suits the patient’s condition and goals.
Additionally, Laura’s hand therapy covers conditions such as tendon injuries, arthritis, fractures, and nerve compressions. Her specialist knowledge allows her to perform precise assessments and deliver targeted treatments. Consequently, patients experience faster healing and improved hand function.
At GW Physiotherapy, patient care and privacy take top priority. The clinic strictly follows COVID-19 guidelines to provide a safe environment. Laura values clear communication and collaborates closely with patients to set realistic goals and monitor their progress.
Furthermore, the clinic offers advanced injury screening and prevention services, especially for sportspeople like tennis players. These services identify risks early and develop conditioning plans to boost performance and reduce injury chances.
Appointments are flexible and easy to book by phone or email. Laura is committed to helping patients regain strength, mobility, and wellbeing in Gloucester and the surrounding areas.
