EXCELLENT Based on 187 reviews Isobel Beveridge2025-05-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent. Sofia Akram2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Maelle is so lovely and so knowledgeable. Very pleased to be working with her as she helps me with my chronic pain 😇 Mike Booth2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Caspar was friendly, very professional and detailed in his questions and assessment. Quite a firm treatment and my lower back feels a little better already but he was clear it wouldn’t be a quick fix. Even got a free book on back pain. Highly recommended. 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.
