Osteopathy
Our osteopathy services address musculoskeletal pain through oscillatory mobilisation techniques and medical acupuncture. We treat neck pain, back pain, sciatica, and sports injuries using gentle methods avoiding forceful manipulation. Patients learn to identify and correct harmful movement patterns for long-term pain management.

Available as train-the-trainer programmes or employee sessions with practical demonstrations tailored to your working environment.

We provide practical recommendations to prevent musculoskeletal disorders, including posture adjustments and equipment modifications.

Report
Before I saw Robbie I thought I was in constant pain, my movement was severely restricted and my sleep was badly affected. I thought I was heading for knee surgery. After just a few visits Robbie has helped me learn how to move my knee again. I am once again able to trust my knee in all sorts of movement, I am pain free and sleep properly.
Robbie's approach and manner gave me confidence in the treatment - I always feel that he is listening to my feedback, and is observing my body's reactions to his treatments. Thank you, Robbie!

Report
I have hypermobility and scoliosis, and can highly recommend Robbie. I stayed pain free for a whole year after his session, and having seen several different osteopaths and chiropractors over the years, I can definitely say that his style is more effective and less painful than any other approach I've experienced. I would highly recommend him! Angela Dodds, Headteacher

Robbie came to our office and had a session with all of us to get us set up properly in our desks and seating position but also worked on a few of us more who had existing problems....we are all so much more comfortable.. if you work in an office in Edinburgh you should get him round..
