Gavin Routledge

Gavin graduated as an osteopath in 1991 as the Gold Medalist.  After a brief stint in New Zealand, he returned to Scotland to be the 6th osteopath in Edinburgh.   Since then he has guided the business through various names – Edinburgh Osteopaths, The Edinburgh Clinic, Active X Osteopaths, and (for the last 10 years) Active X Clinics.

Having suffered 7 years of persistent lower back pain and sciatica in his 20s, Gavin has written 2 books on lower back pain (the third on its way), has a Masters Degree in The Clinical Management of Pain, is a Lifestyle Medicine Professional and Health Coach.  His passion is to help you recover from pain and to go on to live an active life.

He cycles around 80 miles a week, strength trains 3 times a week, plays occasional mediocre golf and encourages his 5 children to be active too (the family dog Chloe needs no encouragement).
