Physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and function through hands-on treatment, targeted exercises, and practical guidance. At Active Health, our experienced physiotherapists specialise in musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and post-surgery rehabilitation.
We take the time to understand your body, your lifestyle, and your goals — helping you recover effectively while giving you the tools to prevent future injuries. From refining training habits to supporting healthier movement patterns, we work with people of all ages and activity levels: children, older adults, office workers, and elite athletes.
At any stage of life, physiotherapy can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support you in returning to the activities you love as quickly and safely as possible.
Our General Physiotherapy service is designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and live with less pain. Whether you’re dealing with everyday aches, a recent injury, or long-standing discomfort, we take a holistic approach to understand what your body needs.
Our goal is to help you feel confident in your body again — not only during recovery but long after your treatment ends.
Designed for athletes of all levels, our Sports Physiotherapy service supports both injury recovery and performance enhancement. Whether you’re a runner, footballer,rugby player, netballer, or gym enthusiast, we help you understand how your body moves and how to train more efficiently and safely.
We aim not just to get you back in the game — but to help you return stronger and more confident.
Recovering from surgery can feel overwhelming, and having the right support makes all the difference. Our Post-Operative Physiotherapy service provides structured, evidence-based rehabilitation tailored to your procedure and your recovery timeline.
We work closely with your surgeon’s guidelines to ensure you recover safely, efficiently, and confidently — every step of the way.
When you attend an assessment at Active Health, one of our friendly, professional physiotherapists will carry out a comprehensive initial appointment.
The first session is slightly longer to allow plenty of time for you to describe your symptoms, how they began, and how they affect your day-to-day life. Your physiotherapist will also guide you through a series of movements and may perform specific tests to help identify the source of your pain.
All assessments and treatments take place in one of our private physiotherapy rooms in our Edinburgh clinic.
Once a diagnosis is established, your physiotherapist will clearly explain their findings and work with you to create a personalised treatment plan. At the heart of our approach is collaboration — through education, awareness, empowerment, and active participation in your recovery.
Our physiotherapists draw on a wide range of evidence-based techniques, carefully tailored to your needs. Treatment may include:
Your treatment plan will evolve over time as your physiotherapist monitors your progress and adapts their approach based on how your body responds.
Alongside your treatment, we may recommend adjustments to daily habits, or movement patterns that could be contributing to your symptoms.
You do not need a doctor’s referral to book physiotherapy with us.
However, if you plan to claim through private medical insurance, please check your provider’s requirements before booking.
Our physiotherapists are registered with numerous healthcare insurers, including Bupa, AXA and WPA.
All our physiotherapists are fully registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) as well as being fully up-to-date on the latest evidence and research.
We are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centred care — and we look forward to welcoming you to Active Health
