Edinburgh Sports + Spinal Physiotherapy

I had such a great experience here. Peter was so knowledgeable and identified my injury straight away. He very quickly sorted out the next steps for me, and gave me some great advice for my recovery.

I couldn’t recommend Pete and Edinburgh Sports & Spinal more highly. I started with Pete following an ACL reconstruction and he has been so knowledgable, understanding, and thorough. His approach is very balanced and is backed up by loads of experience. He explains everything very clearly and has really helped with rebuilding confidence following my injury/surgery. The facilities at ESS are also lovely - clean and tidy, lots of space and all the weights you could ever need. Not a bad word to say!

I began seeing Peter after a sports shoulder injury at the start of July. Peter was very helpful and knowledgeable. He made sure I was recovering efficiently and provided exercises to ensure that I was able to build strength and mobility back into my shoulder in time for my football final, a little over a month later. I would definitely recommend Peter for any sports injuries or physio needs.

Very friendly and professional. I had very useful treatment and good advice for TMJ (jaw clenching) from Richard after being referred to him by my dentist. He takes into consideration the whole person, not just what is presented. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great experience with Peter, very professional and friendly, made me feel comfortable and followed up my progress. Very knowledgeable and I'm thankful that he recommended exercises to include in my routine at the gym and in general. 100% recommended!

I can't recommend this practice, and specifically Riccardo, highly enough. I suffered acute cervical radiculopathy with debilitating nerve pain in my right back, arm, and hand along with loss of strength and had to take over two months off work. I was deeply distraught, demoralised, and in constant pain.I consulted repeatedly with GPs and NHS physiotherapists, but Riccardo was far and away the most helpful. He properly explained the condition including its potential causes, prognosis, and treatment options far more thoroughly and effectively than anyone else. After feeling quite hopeless for months, this was the major turning point in my recovery and I am now significantly improved and able to get back to most aspects of normal life. Not only did Riccardo's treatment improve my symptoms, it gave me understanding and confidence. This was incredibly important, and not something I was able to get anywhere else.I'd go back again with any other issues in a heartbeat, and have nothing but great things to say about my experience. Thanks, Riccardo!

Peter has been amazing in helping me with my migraines through physiotherapy and acupuncture. He is always super nice and very sociable, I would 100% recommend!

I’ve been seeing Peter for a niggling quad pain due to powerlifting. He’s worked together with me and my coach to rehab the issue whilst keeping me training, which for me is an essential step. He uses a holistic approach to assess and treat me, he listens and advises on how to adapt the rehab exercises in my training so that we work together to the goal of being pain free and stronger so that it doesn’t occur again. I couldn’t recommend him higher. Professional, approachable, caring.

Peter is a wonderful physiotherapist. He listens well and his diagnosis was very thorough. Peter has come up with an excellent treatment plan that is tailored to me. I could not recommend Peter more highly.

I went to Riccardo in early September after struggling with a lower back injury sustained when powerlifting in April. After just 2 weekly appointments and prescribed rehab exercises I went from having pain just doing basic movements (getting out of bed/in and out of the car etc) to being back doing compound movements in the gym with minimal pain. After about a month or so I was predominantly pain free and moved to biweekly appointments. After just 10 weeks I was able to compete at a national competition and lift weights to the same standard as I had pre-injury. I strongly recommend Riccardo, he knows what he’s doing, keeps it simple as well as being a friendly face and easy to talk to.
