Massage Edinburgh
Massage Therapy & Sports Massage In Edinburgh
Massage is for everybody
Massage has been practised for thousands of years, across different cultures. It’s simple, non-invasive, very safe, and it feels great.
There are many types of massage therapy, but they all involve someone working on you with their hands (and sometimes feet, elbows) to ease pain and stiffness. And to bring about a state of relaxation that many people find it hard to achieve these days.

Do you want the best massage?
We all love a good massage. Because it’s easy to feel good when someone lays their hands on you and gets to work. But it’s not so easy to provide the best massage. That’s what we set out to do at Active X. Originally we were focused on providing the best back massage. Because that’s what we specialise in – the relief of back pain and sciatica.
However, we’ve expanded beyond the back. Now we offer sports and remedial massage for your whole body. And we’re just as focused on giving you the best treatment experience that you’ve ever had. We also do seated chair massage, sometimes known as office massage.
Massage For Pain Relief
Many of our clients come for pain relief. Who wouldn’t want to have less pain and to be more active?
Stress Relief
Stress relief is another benefit – massage reduces the amount of circulating cortisol (a stress hormone). People often report having the best sleep of their lives following an appointment at Active X. The research on massage shows that it lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and boosts your immune system.
Consistently Great
We know that consistency matters. You want to know that every time you see any of our therapists, you will have a great experience. Whoever you see. That’s why – at Active X – we have developed systems and training to make sure that you always get what you want.
How firm do you like your massage?
We have a system of grading intensity. Tell us how firm you like your massage; on a scale of 1-10. Based on your feedback to the therapist, we’ll re-classify you on our 1-10 scale. That way, whichever of our therapists you see, we know how firm you like it. Of course you can change that at any time. But, this ensures consistency.
Chat, silence, music with your massage?
You tell us whether you like silence, music, whales, to chat a bit or not at all. You tell us what you want and our therapists will deliver. And this is all decided before you get here. Just fill in our online registration form before you turn up and it’s plain sailing after that. This ensures we can have you “on the couch” for nearly all of your 25/50/80 minute appointment.
Edinburgh Massage Membership Plan
Massage is for life, not just for Christmas and birthdays. Your car gets an annual service. Your teeth twice a year. Yet you put a lot more miles on your body. Why not give it a monthly service? Our most popular package is monthly, but we can suit any budget from bi-monthly to weekly.
When your body goes wrong, it’ll cost you more than when your car goes wrong. Let us look after you. You may have only been looking for a back massage, but now you’ve found a whole new way of feeling great on a regular basis.
Massage is enjoyable. It’s a stress-buster. It eases your aches and pains. It’s time-out. Time for you. Go on, treat yourself!

EXCELLENT Based on 184 reviews Natalie Mitchell2025-04-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely masterclass with Maëlle. I was reminded of some things and learnt as well! Thank you for offering this 🙂 Tracy Brown2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Magic! Having suffered neck pain (whiplash injury) for almost 3 years and tried various other treatments I wish my "first port of call" had been Gavin an excellent Osteopath based at Edinburgh's West End! He is extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly and the Clinic is very welcoming. He suggested I have a weekly treatments for 4 weeks. After just 1 treatment I experienced 50% improvement and am off my painkillers. Woohoo 😊 He gave me loads of advice and exercises to help me on my journey. Highly recommend his services. Caitlin MacMillan2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended a women’s health masterclass with Maelle. Maelle made everyone feel at ease and shared information in a really clear and engaging way. Topics around pelvic pain can be very sensitive and Maelle created a safe space in her workshop. I would love to work with Maelle in future and I’m glad there are passionate and knowledge practitioners working in the important and often neglected area of women’s pelvic health. Tilda Glynn2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Gavin with back pain that has been bothering me on and off for a couple years. He was great in relieving the pain whilst also giving me a diagnosis and advice on how I can both relieve and prevent the pain in the future. Couldn't recommend enough! Emma H2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Casper was so helpful in not just treating my back and sciatica pain but teaching me how to take care of myself. SAMIR MEHANOVIC2025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jordan Clemson was amazing in helping with my sport injury. Justin understands how male body works and finds the ways not only to ease the pain but to heals and improves the body. I will definitely come back in the future and highly recommended services. Noah Miller2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maelle is doing wonderful work at Active X. My general experience of cranio-sacral osteopathy is that it is a massively under-appreciated therapeutic field. Maelle offers her own, intentional, and effective approach. I felt in great personal care, and noticed perhaps even bigger somatic differences than I have with other cranio. Definitely worth investing in. océane rio2025-02-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing help ! Thank you so much Albane Bouvard2025-01-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maelle shared a brilliant presentation on women’s health last week 🙂 it was truly fascinating to learn more about our bodies that way. Also very relaxing and positive atmosphere, would absolutely recommend meeting her :)) Elsa Bourgeois Ayestarán2025-01-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last week I had the pleasure of attending a talk given by Maëlle on female anatomy and health in general. I was really impressed by her knowledge, her kindness and her ability to pass on information, all of which reflect great qualities as an osteopath! Thank you 🙂
