Active X Clinics, a stalwart in the world of osteopathy, was founded back in 1992. Since then, they’ve had 25 experienced osteopaths and 10 skilled massage therapists, establishing themselves as trusted osteopaths in Edinburgh.

We love their unique and nifty service tailored specifically for the over 50s. Their skilled osteopaths know just how to tackle those age-related niggles, giving you the care you need to boost mobility, banish pain, and live life to the fullest. 

We also appreciate their emergency osteopath services. Accidents and injuries don’t adhere to a 9-to-5 schedule, and with their dedicated emergency services, you can rest assured that help is just a call away, 24/7. 

We noticed that they go the extra mile to ensure accessibility and convenience for their patients. With their round-the-clock phone services, you can seek guidance, book appointments, or discuss any concerns, even in the wee hours of the morning. 

In keeping with the digital age, the clinic offers specialist coaching online, accessible through any device. This modern approach allows individuals to receive expert guidance and support from the comfort of their own homes.

They also offer a range of massage therapies tailored to different needs. We think this makes them a one-stop destination for holistic musculoskeletal care.

However, Active X Clinics takes a well-deserved breather on Sundays, allowing their team to recharge their batteries and return with renewed vigour. 

In terms of pricing, they lean towards the higher end. With an in-clinic initial consultation priced at £77, their services may not be the most budget-friendly option for everyone. 

We think Edinburgh Osteopathic Surgery knows a thing or two about the art of easing your aches and pains. 

First, we’re quite impressed with their highly-experienced team. They have a combined 100 years of osteopathy experience and most of them are graduates of the British School of Osteopathy.

Their practitioners also embody a relaxed and person-centred approach, ensuring you feel at ease throughout your osteopathic journey

We commend their dedication to providing bespoke advice and exercises tailored to your unique needs. They go the extra mile to ensure you recover swiftly and gracefully, arming you with the tools to speed up your healing process. 

Stepping into the clinic, you’ll be greeted by a tidy and well-lit environment, exuding an air of serenity. This pleasant atmosphere sets the stage for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

In terms of pricing, they offer a comparative affordability that’ll make your pocket feel rather pleased. Their initial consultation and follow-up treatment visit are both priced at £49, so you can prioritise your well-being without breaking the bank.

We did note that their range of offerings may be more limited compared to some of their counterparts. However, we think sometimes less is more, just like a perfectly brewed cup of tea. 

Securing a booking might also require a bit of planning and persistence, like trying to nab front-row seats at a sold-out concert. With their exceptional reputation, it’s no wonder they’re in high demand. 

A B Osteopathy is another Edinburgh clinic with a solid reputation.

We do admire their accomplished practitioners who have had 10 years of experience before opening their own clinic. They’re both graduates of the British School of Osteopathy and are registered with the General Osteopathic Council.

We’re also quite happy with their complimentary telehealth courtesy call. This thoughtful gesture allows you to discuss your concerns, receive preliminary guidance, and set the stage for a tailored treatment plan.

We also like that A B Osteopathy caters to the unique needs of expectant mothers with their pregnancy and postnatal aches and pains treatment. They offer gentle care to alleviate discomfort and promote a healthy pregnancy journey. 

They also extend their expertise to newborns, babies, and toddlers, ensuring that even the tiniest of bundles receive the care they deserve. We love how they sprinkle their magic touch on every stage of life, from pregnancy to early childhood.

It’s important to note that they’re closed on Sundays and Mondays, so you might want to go to other clinics or juggle your schedule around. 

In terms of pricing, A B Osteopathy leans towards the slightly higher end. The first consultation is priced at £60 for up to 1 hour, while follow-up sessions are £50 for every 30 minutes. 

But remember, quality and expertise often comes with a premium price tag.

Myofascial Osteopathy in Edinburgh is another promising option for those seeking pain relief

Its osteopath, Mattie Leszczak, is registered and received a Bachelor of Osteopathy with Honours degree from Anglia Ruskin University. Thus, clients can have confidence in the quality of care they will receive. 

We also like the fact that he was part of the sports massage team for the 2013 Tough Mudder Race in Edinburgh. This demonstrates hands-on experience in dealing with athletic injuries. 

Recognising the financial constraints often faced by students, Myofascial Osteopathy offers a student discount, providing a £5 reduction on appointments. This gesture highlights their commitment to making their services more accessible.

It treats an array of ailments, including sports injuries, frozen and knotted shoulders, repetitive strain injuries, chronic fatigue, and tiredness. By targeting both physical and energy-related conditions, this clinic caters to a diverse set of needs.

They also offer a reasonably priced 40-minute appointment for £45, which we think is a fair rate for osteopathic services of this calibre. 

One potential drawback is the limited online booking system, which only allows appointments of 40 minutes. For longer bookings, it becomes necessary to contact the osteopath directly, adding an extra step to the booking process.

Some might also find their options to be limited. It would be beneficial for the clinic to expand its services to cater to a wider range of conditions, enhancing its appeal to a larger client base.

Peachey Therapy Clinic is another quality clinic that provides osteopathy for residents in Edinburgh. 

We think first-time clients would appreciate their offer of a free initial assessment, lasting approximately 10 minutes. This allows prospective clients to discuss their concerns and learn more about the clinic’s approach without any financial commitment. 

The clinic being registered with the General Osteopathic Council also means that the practitioners stick to high standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. This accreditation gives us a good boost of confidence in their abilities.

Not only that, their team consists of practitioners who are graduates of renowned institutions such as the British School of Osteopathy and the British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM). 

Unlike other clinics, they help ease the symptoms of fibromyalgia rather than making grand claims of curing the condition. We think this realistic approach makes the clinic an appealing option for those seeking relief from this chronic condition.

In addition to osteopathy, they also offer podiatry services. This expanded range of treatments allows clients to address foot-related concerns under the same roof, offering convenience and a holistic approach to their well-being.

We spoke with their former clients, and some of them experienced difficulties in booking appointments. Streamlining the booking process or enhancing online appointment availability would greatly improve the overall customer experience.

Another aspect that some clients found limiting is the clinic’s compact size. We think optimising the layout could enhance comfort and privacy for both clients and practitioners.
