Masseur - Kinésithérapeute Alexandre Gaillard

Alexandre Gaillard is a physiotherapist in central Nice offering functional rehabilitation for the back, shoulder, limbs, and post-surgical scars, both in-practice and at home. His listing states he works in English, Spanish, and French, and a reviewer's English-language recommendation confirms this, making him a useful contact for English-speaking clients in Nice.

Alexandre Gaillard works from the Rue Gioffredo in central Nice and covers more of the body than most physiotherapy listings bother to spell out: back, shoulder, hand, upper and lower limb, abdominal rehabilitation including the hypopressive method, therapeutic massage, and scar treatment after surgery. The item worth pausing on is respiratory and cardiovascular physiotherapy, which most people do not associate with a kinésithérapeute at all. It is a recognised part of the profession in France, working on the lungs and the breathing mechanics rather than on muscles and joints, and it is not offered at every practice. He treats at home as well as at the cabinet.

The record leans towards the complicated end. A ruptured posterior cruciate ligament, an uncommon injury and an awkward one to rehabilitate, was taken through to a graded return to sport. Achilles tendon trouble, shin periostitis, a cervical sprain, spine and neck work after an operation, and three months of post-surgical care for an elderly patient all appear, as does a visitor who hurt an ankle mid-holiday and was fitted in quickly enough to save the rest of the trip. What patients describe consistently is a precise diagnosis first and exercises built around it rather than a standard protocol. He works in English, confirmed by a patient writing in it about the personalised programme built for them, and states Spanish alongside French. Check the pattern of opening before planning a course: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 09:00 to 18:30, with Tuesday closed.
