What Is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a science-backed approach to restoring movement, reducing pain, and helping your body heal. From sports injuries and post-surgery recovery to back pain and arthritis, physiotherapy helps you move better—and feel better.

At our clinic in Edinburgh, our physios tailor every treatment plan to your unique goals, so you can get back to living your life on your terms.

What to Expect at Your First Physio Appointment

Every recovery story starts with a first step. Here’s how we make that step feel easy.
Before you arrive, we’ll ask you to complete an online form, providing a few details about your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle. This helps us understand your starting point before we even meet you, and helps to create a plan that fits you.
Your physiotherapist will take the time to understand what’s going on—from posture and movement to strength, flexibility, and any functional limitations. We use hands-on techniques, observation, and sometimes even tech tools to dig deeper and find the true source of the problem—not just the symptoms.
We’ll explain your diagnosis in simple language and work with you to set goals—whether it’s walking pain-free, lifting your kids again, or getting back to sport.

Your treatment may include:

  • Manual therapy to relieve tension and restore movement
  • Rehab exercises to build strength and prevent relapse
  • Electrotherapy or heat/cold treatments
  • Home exercise programs to keep your progress going between sessions
