Went to Active X with a very sore mid back pain which had stopped me running and was extremely uncomfortable carrying out daily tasks. I thought it was a muscular problem but within half an hour Gavin had managed to diagnose the issue exactly to the specific vertebrae and to provide a regime of exercises and stretches. After 2 months I'm back running and have no pain. Thanks for your help Gavin and if it ever recurs I'll know where to go!

I worked with Jordan after a back spasm and my first severe sciatic attack which left me unable to stand. Thanks to his genuine care, expert knowledge, support and great teaching approach re the exercises I quickly improved. Couldn't believe how quickly I was improving. I would definitely recommend and will certainly use Active X Backs in the future.

I had a great experience: I came for a lower back pain and Gavin guided me through the whole healing process (I.e. what to do / what not to do, how to do it) and answered all my questions ! The whole facility is great as well, you can feel they can treat anyone / anything ! Would go back if I had an injury (hopefully not…) but great osteo !!

Active-X isn’t just about treatment of a temporary issue, they take a wholistic overview of my overall ongoing healthcare. The team are intuitive and attentive while building your confidence in your recovery by working within your comfort levels. A very friendly team who listen and understand physical challenges and the mental barriers of pain that can inhibit your progress. I’d highly recommend their consultation for any mobility related issues.

Jordan is the best there is! I run a personal training business in Edinburgh and I have been referring my clients to Jordan for many years now. There is no practitioner in this city I trust more than him. I have also seen Jordan for my own sporting injuries and it's always reassuring knowing there is someone I can trust completely to get me back to full fitness. I cant recommend him enough :)

Gavin & Jordan have been superb in dealing with my sports related issue. Not only have they worked on my pain, they have educated me in improving my strength. Plus the chat is good, certainly not a boring session. I can highly recommend them

I had knee pain which interfered with me doing my normal activities. Rest and physio had not helped. The advice that I got together with 3 sessions of gentle toggling put me on the right road, and I am now doing all my activities totally pain free.

I had lower back pain which I thought would ease off after a few days, which it did not, I had trouble bending and getting up from the sitting position. After two session at Active with Gavin I was able to stand up without pain and bend. I would not hesitate to book an appointment again, the quicker you address the issues the quicker you can return to normal. I can't recommend Active enough.
