Alana Close

Hello, I'm Alana, a specialist respiratory physiotherapist and the founder of Esanella Physiotherapy. 

I have over 13 years experience much of which has been within the respiratory specialism for both adults and children, supporting people with both acute and long-term complex breathing issues.  I grew up in Cornwall and have returned to raise my own family. The slower pace of life has influenced the way I approach Physiotherapy and the ethos for Esanella, incorporating balance and space to breathe. 

​​

Esanella Physiotherapy is founded on its Cornish definition "Exhale" with a mission to provide our clients with a sense of relief, knowing they are going to be heard and supported. I believe that care starts with your story, even facing the same problems your perspective is unique and this should shape the care and support you receive. I take the time to not just understand the symptoms and conditions but how they affect a persons daily life, confidence and wellbeing.

​

I provide thorough, individualised assessments and interventions combining my clinical expertise with a compassionate approach. Even in a class environment I tailor techniques to each persons needs and provide adaptations where required. I am passionate about education and dedicated to helping people understand their body and condition. My aim is that every client finishes an appointment or class feeling more confident about managing their respiratory health.
