The Physiotherapy Place - Edinburgh

Fantastic experience: Niall is absolutely fantastic. I’ve been to a number of physios over the years and have never had a better experience. Last year, I suffered a disc issue in my back which resulted in multiple visits to A&E and left me feeling as though I might never return to normal. Niall completely transformed my recovery. He is incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly and insightfully, and always ensures it feels accessible and easy to understand. He quickly identifies the root of the issue and provides targeted follow-up exercises to support ongoing progress. Beyond this, the level of care and accommodation has been exceptional. When I recently developed a knee problem, I called the practice to ask about availability. Within the hour, Sue on reception had called me back, and Niall had opened up a same-day appointment for me. I truly can’t recommend Niall highly enough. I feel completely supported at every stage, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you, Niall!

Fantastic experience: Have visited a number of physios over the years and was extremely impressed by Jess. Knowledge and helping me understand were both top. Also, very personable which was also nice.

Fantastic experience: Thorough questioning to help diagnose my sciatic problem. Jessica gave an Informative explanation of all exercises and treatments. Very friendly yet professional manner.

Fantastic experience: Great booking experience, went once and got an assesment, rehabilitation plan and a follow up appointment. They accept amex, which is always good. Amy was great and very friendly and professional! Will go back.

Fantastic experience: I had a great first appointment with my physio Aimee. She listened to all the information I gave her, then continued my session with massage and giving me a set of exercises. She also sent me my exercise program by email, excellent

Fantastic experience: Very comfortable surrounding and very friendly staff. Alicia was very professional and explained everything clearly during my initial first appointment to asses my condition as she set out a plan going forward. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the practise to anyone who might be seeking some physio or looking for some advice.

Fantastic experience: All staff were excellent, friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend The Physiotherapy Place

Fantastic experience: Had a trapped nerve in my shoulder I was in total agony and could barely move my head. 45 mins with Alicia and the pain wasn’t so bad and I got more movement in my neck and shoulder. Delighted I booked!

Fantastic experience: Fitted me in last minute, and made such a difference to my neck, I can move again. Thanks a million!

Fantastic experience: Ich kann Jessica einfach nur von Herzen empfehlen - sie stellt die richtigen Fragen, verarbeitet deine Antworten zu einem perfekten Programm, einem Arbeitsplan, der für dich wirklich durchführbar ist !! Und schon nach zwei Wochen positive Ergebnisse hatte - für mich echt erstaunlich.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Jessica enough - incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, helpful and kind!

Fantastic experience: Excellent physios. Helped my shoulder.

Fantastic experience: Excellent.

Fantastic experience: They are very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Alicia is a knowledgable physio who has greatly improved my range of movement after injury, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jessica was thorough, practical and easy to speak to. From walking into reception to leaving with an app full of trackable exercises specific to what I need, it was a very positive experience.

Fantastic experience: A huge thank you to Niall, I'm very grateful, he helped a lot with my back pain.

Fantastic experience: I found The Physiotherapy Place through Google search and so I am more than happy to review in Google too. I'd hurt my back and had been living with acute pain for 2 weeks before meeting with Alicia. I was feeling so miserable I've only had 2 appointments with her and the difference her knowledge and treatment has had on my back pain has been amazing. She knew exactly what exercises I'd need to do and the difference its made is night and day. Thank you so so much Alicia Dx

Fantastic experience: I had R hip stiffness and pain and back stiffness. Alicia’s examination ,diagnostic and therapeutic skills are excellent, as are her communication skills.She is empathic. The efficacy of her dry needle skills I can only describe as staggering. She is a real master of her physiotherapeutic art and science.She truly demonstrates the positive effect of the healer as placebo. I very much recomnend her to be your physiotherapist, but me first please. Geoff Dobson, retired GP.

Fantastic experience: I have been delighted with the massages I have had from Aimee Grant. She is very skilful and I feel very confident with the work because she is also a qualified physiotherapist. They have been a great complement to the exercises I have been given to do and I have felt release and easing of pain after the massages.

Fantastic experience: Jessica made me feel relaxed as I explained my problem with my right leg. She then went through some exercises with me including those I could do at home. I was very impressed with her overall.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Jess for 3 years and she has been amazing. Thanks for your help and patience.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgable and friendly staff, able to quickly identify the problem and come up with a course of treatment.

Fantastic experience: Firstly, I received a warm welcome on what was my first visit to this particular practice. Then, on meeting the therapist assigned to me (Alicia) I very soon realised I was in the hands of someone not just extremely knowledgeable about my particular problem, but who took the time to listen, and to tailor the session to my needs. This immediately gave me confidence, plus the impetus to follow through with the advice and exercises I was given to do before my next visit. All in all, I was very happy with the experience.

Fantastic experience: Went to Aimee with a mild quad strain which was causing me issues when squatting. She diagnosed the issue and relieved a lot of tension and I was able to continue training with vastly reduced pain. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great session with Alicia. Now have an idea of the problem and plan of action.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Alicia, my physiotherapist. She was fantastic—very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Alicia treated me for a bad ankle sprain and foot problem, and her approach really put my mind at ease, especially since I was worried about long-term issues. She gave me daily exercises to help my recovery and used massage to relieve the tightness in my leg. Her bedside manner was superb, and she made the whole process reassuring and effective. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Delighted with the thorough and professional initial assessment I had today with Alicia Thom. Work started straight away and I’m already feeling the benefits. Looking forward to my next session.

Fantastic experience: From session one, Jessica was excellent - really professional and with clear diagnosis that gave me confidence. With her guidance and advised exercises I’m fully back to running and feeling stronger than before.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Alicia enough! After struggling with hip and back pain for some time, I finally decided to book a session—and I’m so glad I did. She quickly pinpointed the root cause of the problem and explained everything clearly. I walked in hunched and in pain, and walked out standing tall and feeling so much better. In just one session, she managed to ease the pain and get me moving properly again. A true professional with a brilliant understanding of the body. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I found Alicia really good. She answered all my questions. She gave a thorough examination to ensure everything had recovered correctly. I then got good advice and exercises (with demonstrations) as to what I need to continue to do. Highly recommend Alicia

Fantastic experience: They really helped diagnose and resolve a recent issue; professional, knowledgeable and highly effective; would thoroughly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Felt very positive leaving my session with Alicia. Give it time and I will be running again.

Fantastic experience: This is how I would expect a physio appointment to be unlike the current NHS 'hand you a bit of paper with some exercises'! Good hands on treatment from Jessica who also explained everything she was doing and what each exercise was for in the general rehab process.

Fantastic experience: Alicia was very helpful and very friendly, put me at ease

Fantastic experience: From booking to the actual treatment was fantastic. Everything was explained very well and treatment carried out. I have zero complaints. Alicia explained everything very well and provided me with some exercises to do at home to aid my recovery.

Fantastic experience: Jessica is a skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate practitioner. Sessions are to the point and effective. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The appointment was on time with a great, warm welcome from all the staff and Alicia quickly diagnosed my shoulder problem and started on treatment. She went through exercises that will help my recovery and explained clearly the plan to get me back playing squash.

Fantastic experience: Alicia was super friendly and knowledgable, quickly getting to the cause of my shoulder pain. She applied needling and gave aftercare advice. I can already feel the results!

Fantastic experience: Some years ago I saw Jess with foot pain. She correctly diagnosed deterioration in my Talonavicular joint. After emailing my GP she encouraged me in my dealings with the hospital consultant. With the pain getting worse Jess encouraged me to ask for fusion surgery, this has just been done and so far so good as far as pain goes. I can't thank Jess enough for her care.

Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to The Physiotherapy Place and I will return. I received a warm welcome from the receptionist on arrival. Aimee was friendly and professional. The soundtrack to my sports massage was awesome!

Fantastic experience: Had my second treatment with Alicia. Very happy with the results. Had a trapped nerve issue that has caused me problems for years that has been remedied after needling and massage. Couldn’t be happier!

Fantastic experience: Been a few times now and can only say I’m Impressed with Jessica. Made me feel comfortable and relaxed in every appointment and was very informative with all information regarding my injuries and also super clear with my rehab plan. Very positive person and a good energy to be around. Keep up the good work

Fantastic experience: Jess is professional, experienced & provides my daughter with an excellent service. Her communication is excellent & she is clearly extremely knowledgeable, she also manages each situation according to its individual merits. I highly recommend Jess

Fantastic experience: I had a massage appointment today with Aimee to help with a pulled muscle in my lower back. The treatment I received was excellent- I left the practice able to stand up straight and feeling so much better - the perfect experience!

Fantastic experience: Alicia was great. She’s very knowledgeable, patient and gave me a good exercise plan to follow. I returned today and she has got me in a good place for a long haul flight.

Fantastic experience: Alicia was welcoming and put me at ease. She was very thorough and patient as she diagnosed the reason for my painful knee.

Fantastic experience: Haven't left a review for a while, thought it was time. I have a long term condition for which there is no magic cure, sadly. However Niall has made it possible for me to live relatively pain free and mobile most of the time, and when I have an acute flare-up, he goes out of his way to make room for me to get prompt treatment and help me back on my feet. Reception staff go out of their way to help if you're having difficulties and are always very helpful. I would recommend this practice highly.

Fantastic experience: Aimee was very knowledgeable about my neck and shoulder issues and gave a fantastic strong massage which has really helped

Fantastic experience: Great service again from The Physiotherapy Place, I would highly recommend them. I have a problem with my right calf and knee. Ross carried out a thorough examination and used needles which has helped ease the pain and swelling.

Fantastic experience: Alicia very professional, knowledgeable and excellent explanation. Will recommend treatment there..

Fantastic experience: Alicia was very professional and immediately put me at ease. Very knowledgable and explained everything. I’ll be back to see her! Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant, Ross really knew his stuff and made my long journey home to south Wales a lot more comfortable,I put my back out while visiting family and they where great squeezed me in for an appointment next day .

Fantastic experience: Jess is a miracle worker. I can’t quite believe how quickly she gets to the problem and fixes it. If you have an issue you have been struggling by with, don’t, let Jess help you.

Positive experience: Jessica is very thorough and asks lots of questions. She gives a good massage and advice and exercises to do.

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly recommend Ross who diagnosed an issue with my knee, suggested a treatment plan, and gave me some exercises

Fantastic experience: Brilliant. I've been coming to Jess for years and she's the first physio (in a long line) I saw who understood, and had an interest in my long term condition. It's a friendly wee place that's welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Alicia today, went in to get some advice & support with a recurring knee injury and was given so much helpful advice and left the appointment in much less pain and improved mobility. I left feeling hopeful with the personalised plan Alicia had put in place to support my knee recovery. Alicia was very helpful and ensured I was satisfied with every step of the process. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: As always - efficient service, knowledgable and very pleasant staff. I have been attending for some time and my chronic pain is definitely resolving.

Fantastic experience: I didn’t hold out much hope, I’m old n creaky; with a collection of old & new injuries. I was pleasantly surprised that I wasn’t in as bad a shape as i feared and could not only be helped, but be given acupuncture & specific exercises to help aid my recovery. My new fitness regime can begin now.

Fantastic experience: Had my assessment with Ross and he was very knowledgeable, I’m a golf coach and it’s great to be in safe hands with someone who truly knows their craft.

Fantastic experience: It's never nice needing treatment, but when you have such an amazing service with exceptional physiotherapists right on your doorstep, it makes it a whole lot easier. Massive shout out to Quinton for helping me through a nerve issue late last year in my back and getting me mobile and playing golf again a lot quicker than I expected. Also, Aimee for keeping me playing week in week out the last few months. Her help recently keeping my back loose has resulted in much shorter recovery time and the ability to play golf more regularly than I've been able.to in the last few years and pain-free at that. It is an amazing place, with amazing people offering such an incredible service. My one and only choice for any physio needs!

Fantastic experience: I don’t often post reviews but wanted to say I’ve been really happy with the treatment I’ve had so far and wanted to thank Ross for all his help, patience and guidance regarding my Achilles problem and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and the physiotherapist place.

Fantastic experience: Niall once again has sorted me out - this time with a rotator cuff injury. Professional and friendly service with exercise app to continue from home. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Personable physio. Strong fact finding, practical treatment for session 1 and an exercise programme provided.

Fantastic experience: Really incredible experience so far. I’ve arrived injured but am here performing in an incredibly physical fringe show. Jessica met with me and was able to give me a spot on assessment as well as plan including some sports massages with Aimee who was equally incredible. I’ve gone from barely being able to walk to feeling like I’ll be back to normal in no time thanks to them. Can’t recommend more!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant! Alicia was super welcoming, knowledgeable and gentle. Amazing advice, perfect exercises for my problem. I literally couldn’t walk properly when I made the appointment, 24 hours later I could move comfortably again. Lovely to chat to too. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Called last minute they were so lovely and helpful. Then the treatment was better than I hoped for. Highly recommend thank you.

Fantastic experience: Jess is phenomenal, especially if you're a runner. She's very personable and will help you get back on track!

Fantastic experience: Ross was excellent and I felt he really understood my issue. The time during the apt was used well and he started working on me fairly quickly after covering my case history. Prior to my appointment I had the opportunity to fill in a form detailing the issues I was having which Ross said was very helpful for him. I have booked follow up appointment as I know my issue will take time to resolve and I will likely require a view more appointments. So far I am very happy with the service and look forward to more treatment.

Fantastic experience: This is such a lovely practice. Clare on reception was so kind and helpful - she went above and beyond to accommodate me as a new patient to the practice. Alicia was fantastic - friendly , kind, knowledgeable and skilled. I'm so impressed. Thanks and five stars all round

Fantastic experience: When I went in I had a really sore leg and it caused a lot of concern as to what might be causing it. My mind was soon put at ease and by the end of the session my leg was feeling so much better and I was a lot happier. I felt in very good and safe hands and would not hesitate to recommend The Physiotherapy Place, super service.

Fantastic experience: First class treatment and positive advice.

Fantastic experience: Jess has a great way of making you feel at ease and gives very good guidance on exercises. She works efficiently but doesn’t make you feel rushed. I wouldn’t normally use private health care but I think the Physiotherapy Place is with it.

Fantastic experience: An absolutely fantastic deep tissue physio massage from Aimee Grant today. 4 hours later and I'm still all floaty and totally relaxed. This was my first time here and definitely not the last. Lovely practice and friendly welcome from reception. 'Feeling Good' by Nina Simone keeps going round my head

Fantastic experience: Jessica was friendly and welcoming, listened closely to my symptoms and concerns and was thorough in her assessment of my injury. She’s given me confidence in our treatment plan to get back to full fitness and I would happily recommend her to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Excellent advice and exercise.

Fantastic experience: Phenomenal service and really helped improved my currently injured hip. Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Jessica is fantastic. Treatment and exercises and followup appointments. And staff are very pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment and a great experience all round

Fantastic experience: First time I’ve ever been to a physiotherapist. From the lovely lady on reception who I had a wee chat with to Quinton who I had my appointment with, all a very positive experience. Thorough history taken and physical examination of problem area, I was given explanation of everything that was being done, and given the chance to ask questions. I now feel like I won’t be stuck with my hip and knee pain forever as have a clear way forward!

Fantastic experience: Not only has by pain been fixed but I’ve got exercises to do to keep it at bay should it start to come back. Everyone there is super lovely and can’t recommend highly enough

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with Jessica Berta today at The Physiotherapy Place in Portobello. Jess explained things clearly, explained what she was going to do and what she wanted me to do and had a very pleasant manner. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Aimee G was incredible. First session in, will definitely be back. Super knowledgeable and great pressure !

Fantastic experience: I had my first appointment with Jessica today and couldn't have been more delighted. She was friendly, interested and patient, taking a full history before giving me a treatment that immediately brought relief to my symptoms. She then gave me targeted exercises that I could feel were going to finally help me build strength and facilitate my recovery. Top marks all round!

Fantastic experience: Very effective massage. Thank you, Aimee.

Fantastic experience: Visited Ross Grady today in Portobello would highly recommend. Great treatment, advice and support. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Excellent and effective treatment big thank you to Jessica

Fantastic experience: Very thorough assessment and explanation of my problem. Helpful exercises recommended and demonstrated.

Fantastic experience: First appointment with Ross today, very productive. Will use in a regular basis

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so lovely. Was warmly welcomed by the receptionist in Portobello. My appointment was with Quinton who was also lovely and very knowledgeable. He put me at ease and helped me a lot- and i’ve come away happy and more informed on what to do.

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for The Physiotherapy Place ! Very easy to book online, very friendly and helpful team. I needed quite an urgent appointment before long travels, and saw Ross Grady twice at short notice. He’s calm, efficient, proactive, clearly knowledgable and experienced, left no stone unturned in his assessment, and made every minute count. So grateful for this quick turnaround, for all his advice and for the bespoke exercise program and treatment. Highly recommended all round : )

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to see Jessica here since June. Jessica is amazing, and I have not had a bad migraine since I started attending. The practice is lovely, calm and very well organised and I like the booking system.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Niall, Quinton and the team enough. Sorted out a sciatica problem and a stiff neck for me. Professional, caring and extremely effective treatments. Thank you guys!

Fantastic experience: Great place explain everything clearly & helping me understand whats going on with my foot.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with Niall’s approach. Good communication - treatment has really helped. Thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable staff and extremely efficient.

Fantastic experience: I have improved more than I would. I now don’t have pain in my hip when I turn or move to standing. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience every time I go. A really valuable local service. Niall is fantastic, friendly and super knowledgeable on all aspects of physiotherapy. He seems to be one of the few people in the UK qualified to perform Gunn IMS treatment which has made a big difference to me. Thanks Niall and team! :-)

Fantastic experience: I visited The Physiotherapy Place after reading lots of good reviews online and it didn't disappoint! Quinton got to the root of my knee and hip injury and, with the help of his treatment and advice, I saw results after only a few sessions. Quinton and the reception team are really friendly and made me feel welcome. I would definitely recommend to others.
