ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Alex. I’m an ultramarathon runner, former World Record holder and sports therapist.

Alex Bance competing in Ultramarathon

A member of the Sports Therapy Association, and in nearly continuous training for my entire career. I hold a BTEC 6 in Advanced Clinical and Sports Massage and am a certified Bodymaster Method practitioner.

Qualified in Video Running Analysis, a Human Movement Specialist and a Personal Trainer. I’m also accredited in Spinal Manipulation under OMT training, amongst other CPD courses.

I’ve been treating people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds in my Salisbury clinic for the last twelve years. I am relaxed in personality but never cavalier with people’s health.

Before opening Spire Injury Clinic, I served thirteen years in the Infantry and worked as a tree surgeon. From these experiences I’ve spent my adult life engaged in various sports and physical activity and have suffered my fair share of injuries - which is where my interest in setting up an injury clinic arose.

A specialist in running injuries and a lover of ultrarunning challenges. I regularly compete in 100+ mile runs and have completed a variety of 50 to 100km ultra runs and 24-hour endurance races, many of these raising money for local charity Julia’s House.
