Reviews of North-55 ® Sports Massage, Edinburgh

Seriously great. Robbie is highly qualified, incredibly knowledgeable and very skilled at his job. He provides bespoke treatment at each session and explains what he is doing throughout. Professional, yet calm and friendly always. He creates a comfortable environment that instantly puts you at ease. I am always amazed by the difference after each session and have recommended him to so many friends already.

Y. O.

Robbie is professional, thorough and approachable. I had a couple of issues following my half marathon and he kindly addressed both of them in one session. He explained everything he was doing as he worked. He also adapted his therapy as soon as he found any trouble I had with the movements (in my case I had frequent cramps). I was very impressed with how much improvement I found in my legs after just one session. Thanks Robbie!

M. M.

I have been undergoing treatment for long term shoulder and back issues for the last couple of months. Robbie is professional, approachable thorough, explains everything so clearly and has made a big impact of n improving my mobility and recovery. I would have no hesitation in recommending Robbie to others.

S. L.

My son attended with lower back pain from a sports injury. The consultation was most thorough with every avenue covered to check for issue. Robbie put us both at ease and we were most impressed by his knowledge, leaving with reassurance and excellent results! Thank you, Robbie. One relieved teenager who feels so much better. Highly recommended!

B. S.

The treatments alone are probably the best body work I have had. I liked how everything was explained why, how and what wasn't moving or needs moved. Robbie was very professional, and passionate about helping you move better. After each visit I was given a moving exercise to help strengthen the problem area. The only problem being the service deserves more than 5 stars 🌟

L. S.

Robbie is lovely and has a great sense of humour. He knows exactly what he’s doing and always ensures his clients are comfortable on the table, explaining each procedure and why he’s doing what he’s doing. I always leave relaxed and in considerably less pain than I arrived with. Highly recommend!!

S. S.

I twisted my knee at the gym and found Robbie. Extremely knowledgeable and very professional. Each treatment is individualized as he does a full assessment each visit. At the end of your appointment. you are given specific exercises to do at home. Each visit comes with a lovely chat too!! Highly recommend.

z. y.

Robbie is probably the best physiotherapist in Edinburgh. I am an amateur badminton player and recently came to Robbie for treatment of my tennis elbow, Robbie provided excellent treatment, he was very professional and friendly. I also have been treated by him for the last few weeks for my knee and foot pain and the results have been excellent. Highly recommended!

A. M.

Suffering from a chronic back spasm, Robbie was recommended to me by a good friend. And thank goodness: after a few sessions and following his advice re stretching and exercise, the spasm went away and life went back to normal. Cannot recommend highly enough. And he's a great guy to talk to also. Thanks Robbie! All the best for the New Year :) - AC Muir

J. F.

Came with recurring back pain. After each session I felt much more mobile and in far less pain. Robbie has an easy manner and is able to treat the issue while talking and putting you at ease. Would recommend!

A. R.

Robbie Is a fantastic therapist. Made me feel incredibly comfortable at all times and did actually help to ease and deal with my chronic pain. Very professional and communicative! 10/10 be back for sure

E. F.

Robbie is a very professional practitioner. He carefully explains what he is doing and why each step of the way and clearly is very passionate and dedicated to his work. He helped me get through a busy Fringe performance season. Thanks Robbie!

j. a.

I've only had two sessions with Robbie and my tight shoulder and back are starting to feel looser. Robbie knows what he's doing and makes you feel at home. Definitely recommend going.

A. L.

Robbie is a great practicioner with extensive knowledge on the matter. He was very professional and really commited to treating my condition, it only took a few sessions for me to get back on track.

C. K.

I was in desperate need of treatment for my shoulders and hips ahead of a planned holiday. Robbie was professional, absolutely clear what the issues were and was able to provide the treatment to allow me to go on holiday without any worries - thanks again Robbie.

A. S.

Visited Robbie at short notice from outside of town. His manner, professionalism, diagnostic approach and treatment were excellent. I would definitely go back when in Edinburgh.

a. p.

Thought I was going in for a sports massage until Robbie’s assessment of my lack of flexibility!. He has been instrumental over last 6 months in improving my range of movement by his use and knowledge of exercises, stretching and enhancing joint movement, feeling so much better and well on my way to better flexibility as well as keeping me injury free in my triathlon training. Thank you Robbie

M. K.

Professional massage with Robbie. Couldn't ask for better therapist. Came in scared, worried and in pain, left very happy . Looking forward for the next session.

E. H. M.

Very helpful in aiding my sports related injury. While other doctors were unable to give me personalized attention and care here I was able to get the correct exercises and treatmenrs to begin recovery.

A. B.

Really great place, feel the effects immediately as you're walking out of the building. As an athlete I'm always glad to come. The massage therapist Robbie is really good at talking you through the positions he's putting you in, and it makes you feel more educated about how to take care of your body and avoid strain. Also he gives you good advice on stretches you can do to avoid whatever problem you come in for in future.

V. T.

I have been suffering with a neck/ shoulder problem, which would leave me in a lot of pain and fairly immobile. However, after seeing Robbie, even after just one session the pain eased and I was able to move my shoulder! I took a course of sessions over couple of weeks, and the results were amazing, I really felt much better. I would highly recommend Robbie to anyone suffering from muscular tension and pain or just would like to maintain a well functioning body.

J. S.

I have been undergoing treatment with Robbie for the last month to treat a long term back condition. Robbie’s approach, knowledge and interest have made a big impact and I started feeling better after only a couple of sessions, which I didn’t get after trying so many other physios and therapists. Would definitely recommend and send people his way.

J. R.

I started visiting Robbie a month or so ago with knee and hip problems that flared up during marathon training. After several visits things have vastly improved and I'm now running with very little discomfort. I've been impressed by Robbie's explanations for each stretch, movement or manipulation - why he's doing it and how it will help that particular joint or muscle. The sessions feel much more targeted on my specific issues rather than a general sports massage / exercises. Highly recommend.

F. k.

I cannot rate Robbie highly enough. After almost a year of chronic back pain after a leg injury & operation, I was on painkillers, nerve medication, using a crutch to walk. My pain levels high & mental health low. 3 sessions later, no crutch, pain down from an 7/9 regularly to a 2/4 & I feel light at the end of the tunnel. I'm not there yet, but wow, well on the way. Robbie knows his stuff. Neither my GP or NHS physio could help me. I feel like I'm getting my life back & also a plan to keep me in a better place physically from now on.

B. S.

I had a very positive experience with Robbie. His treatment helped me with an aching shoulder, but what was most valuable to me was the clear explanation of the reasons for my aches and the excercises to do to improve. I definitely recommend this company.

A. M.

I had acute muscular neck pain from a rugby injury and North 55 sorted me out in a couple of sessions. He explains the process and how the muscles connect throughout which is both reassuring and educational. I highly recommend.

s. 9.

Robbie was very professional and knowledgeable. Very easy to work with and will see him again when back in town. Thanks Robbie

V. Y.

Thank you very much to get an appointment last minute really appreciate. Definitely worth it and I felt the massage was very professional which I’m thankful for it All the best and see you soon Thank you

A. N.

Great stuff, friendly manner, Robbie talks you through what he’s doing and why and knows his stuff inside out. Thanks Robbie!

a. s.

I needed Robs help to deal with severe restrictions in my neck movement and a lot of pain. Rob works systematically to isolate the problem, and to make sure you understand what he is doing at every step of the way. He gives you confidence and assurance through his knowledge and techniques that he can help you, and made sure I walked away from the first session feeling better than when I walked in. I was also reassured with the knowledge that that there was a plan to deal with my issue, and over a number of sessions Rob has continued to isolate the issue and work carefully to help me. I would 100% recommend him!

I. (.

The experience I had was 10/10 from identify my problems to helping me with stretching exercises. I felt super comfortable and he was so friendly to my 4 year old daughter when she came in the room to watch. I'd highly recommend and especially if you've had sports injuries in the past.

E. H.

Couldn’t recommend more. Was unable to walk because my back pain was so terrible and Robbie sorted me right out. Not only did he help me feel better but also helped pin point what was wrong and how to prevent it in the future. Clearly very skilled.

A. H.

Robbie is a highly skilled sports therapist with a detailed understanding of the muscoskelatal structure, the ailments/injuries that afflict it, and the manipulative treatments to address them. He resolved a number of issues I had with my back and hips in just 2 sessions. I can now get back to powerlifting pain free.

K. B.

Very professional and very friendly! A man that knows exactly what he's talking about. He identified my issue and sorted it out, now I feel more limber and flexible than ever 💪 He also gave me some great stretches to continue with at home. Couldn't recommend enough!

J. S.

Robbie is friendly with good conversational skills. He knows his job and gave me a thorough Sports Massage. Was worth the money.

O. C.

I would highly recommend Robbie even if you are visiting Edinburgh and need someone who can deliver result with just one session. Robbie knows his profession as you can tell by the practice he uses to deal with the problem. He will also give you exercise to follow through.

N. S.

I cannot recommend Robbie enough - pain in my lower back definitely subsides with every deep tissue massage I book. Very knowledgeable and professional.

M. M.

Excellent in all respects. Could not have been better, My very stiff neck is much better now after such caring, efficient, friendly service.Highly recommended!

N. L.

Great service, and very helpful sport massage, one of the best therapy’s I ever had. Clean space and very friendly therapist.

Recently got into weightlifting and Robbie really helped to relieve some back pain I had. Would definitely recommend, friendly and professional service.

L. J.

I tend to have quite a sore shoulder from sitting at a desk all day and have had numerous massages to try and ease the aches. Robbie's massage made the most difference in an hour I've ever experienced - very impressed. He analysed the shoulder and movement first so that he knew exactly where to target. It also helps that he's very friendly too. I really can't think of anything negative - he knows his stuff and you can feel the difference as you leave much more mobile than when you entered.

N. H.

Robbie is great, really helped me recover from a few knocks and injuries picked up in the gym. He really knows his stuff, highly recommend booking in with him

E. T.

Very attentive, professional and effective service. Every session I have been to has helped with my condition noticeably.

A. B.

Robbie saved my Holiday. Brilliant analysis of my issue, worked through the pains i was having and fixed the root cause. I have had a lot of Remedial and Sports Massages and he was up there with the best. Robbie provided me with ongoing stretching and exercises which are still assisting the last bit of my rehabilitation on my holiday. I cannot recommend him highly enough Thanks again Robbie

E. G.

So far so good. Robbie has been fantastic in his treatment! I finally feel like I have an end date for a shoulder problem that has plagued my last 2 years. I highly recommend anyone with long standing problems to go to Robbie.

S. S.

Robbie is amazing. He assesed very quickly the situation and after only one session my whole back was relieved from hips to shoulders. He also gave me a stretch exercise to practice at home. Very friendly and profesionnal, highly recommend !

V. M.

Robbie’s thorough assessment of my hypermobile joints meant he pinpointed the areas of stiffness in my shoulders and neck. He explained what he was doing throughout the treatment and helped me understand how to maintain good muscle health. He was friendly, understanding and put me at ease. I will be back!

J. F.

Rob helped fix pain in my lower back. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly service. 10/10

H. B.

Highly recommend Robbie. I hurt my back playing football and needed to see someone asap. Robbie is very friendly and clearly an expert in what he does.

M. G.

Robbie was awesome! He did a full evaluation of my range of motion and then tailored my treatment especially to me. I was so impressed and I feel so much better today. I will definitely be back!

E. A.

Robbie was fantastic, very knowledgeable and informative. Great session, fixed my back up and gave advice, stretches and exercises to keep it in a good shape and strengthen my back to avoid future issues. He’s very friendly and I can’t recommend his services enough

G. A.

Highly recommended, I went with a horrible pain in my back and neck area and Robbie has managed to fix whatever problem I had. Also lovely customer service and very professional.

A. M.

I've been to many sports massage and physiotherapists in the past year and Robbie is one of the best I've had the pleasure of meeting. He knows his stuff, he's very friendly and professional and I felt much better after the visit. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

S. N.

Robbie at North-55 was able to diagnose my back pain quickly and help me to feel much better after just one session. He was also very professional and kind, it was a great experience overall. I'd recommend to anyone looking for massage therapy.

A. M.

I have major issues with my lower back. I have been to countless places for massages and think I've tried every massage going!!! In just 1 appointment Robbie has manage to loosen out my back which has given me more movement. Would recommend Robbie in a heartbeat and I'm about to book my next appointment with him.

R. T.

Really fantastic treatment very thorough and rrally listened to what I needed. So good I returned and if I had been living in Edinburgh I would have been a regular.really relieved some long old tension.

G. M.

fantastic treatment, great engagement and really, really helped pre-event to keep me on the road. super personable and professional. highly recommend!

M. K.

My massage therapist Robbie was excellent. He really helped me out with my sore neck and gave me some helpful exercises to do on my own whenever I’m sore. He was friendly, attentive and very professional. Overall a great experience.

K. H.

My treatment session with Robbie was fantastic. He gave a full assessement before the treatment began and he was very professional and knowledgeable throughout. He even gave some tips of exercises to try at home. I will definitely be booking another treatment session.

A. A.

Robbie is a very astute and knowledgeable individual, he is truly passionate about his line of work and is always willing to go the extra mile. I was highly impressed by the massage treatment I received the other week which helped to alleviate muscle tension. I would definitely recommend visiting North-55.

L. M.

Great professional service, would highly recommend for anyone wanting to work through an injury.

C. N.

It is hard to find a good Sport Therapist in Edinburgh, glad I chose to contact Robbie. I am possibly pickier than most clients as I work in the same industry. Been to 5 physiotherapists, 2 chiropractors and an anatomist to get help with my SI joint and Robbie's treatments have been the most successful 😁🙌

W. B.

As a student, naturally I worry about spending money unless I absolutely have to. However, the massage I had today was more than worth the cost! I feel so, so much better, and I don't think I've had a more productive revision session than after today! Robbie was great; lovely and easy to talk to! I'm sure I'll return some time (exam season is round the corner after all)

S. M.

Excellent treatment of my strained shoulder which had been made worse by driving to Scotland! Robbie is friendly but not pushy. He assessed first, treated and then gave me some exercises to do ongoing. This isn't a beauty massage, this is the real deal!

A. M.

I went to see Robbie for some pain and tightness in one leg that wouldn't come right for over a month and due to ongoing training. After some massage to relieve the tightness, Robbie gave me some tips on increasing flexibility and stretching the problem areas which has since improved the pain and my general leg flexibility.

S. E.

I visited North 55 last week for a deep tissue massage and once again found the whole experience to be fantastic. The treatment space is comfortable and relaxing, not to mention in a very handy central location, and Robbie's friendliness and professionalism never fails to impress. Thanks again Robbie!!

K. K.

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Robbie on my visit to Edinbourgh after running the tough 10k. Robbie's massage came just in time before the 5 hour train ride back to London! Thanks Robbie, you saved my legs and back. 😁

B. U.

Robbie is extremely knowledgeable and professional, excellent service

J. M. M.

I pulled my back in the morning and was having a lot of trouble moving and was in pain just breathing. I had a flight in the afternoon and was terrified at the prospect of having to sit in an airplane for 2hours with my back hurting like that. Rob was able to see me with 10 minutes noticed and after 1h I felt pretty much fine. It was perfect, highly recommend!

L. K.

Robbie is a really nice guy who knows his stuff! He focused on the areas that were troubling me most and gave me some great advice on stretching and preventing further pain. Top notch 👌

J. B.

Robbie was very professional & knowledgeable and helped me out with a long term hamstring problem. Massage and rehabilitation exercises were excellent. I will definitely be visiting North-55 again in the very near future.

J. V. V.

Rob is phenomenonal sports therapist with deep knowledge of not only healing the body, but showing you ways to maximize performance. He's a great guy who puts his whole heart into his practice. If you have come to him for ailments or ways to enhance your physical ability then you are certainly in good hands.

E. M.

Robbie is a really professional and great therapist! After talking to him about my problem, he started the session (which was painless) and on to of that he gave some exercises.

A. M.

Excellent treatment, tailored to your needs rather than off the shelf. Highly recommended!

l. o.

This is a lifetime thing for me and should be for everyone your body is so important so don't deprive yourself especially of someone so knowledgable and professional!! Thankyou !

T. M.

The treatment I received from Robbie was very good for my aching muscles. Robbie was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone needing relief from sore muscles.

A. C.

Amazing massage, super helpful, attentive and professional. thank you!

G. S.

Robbie was amazing. Took his time learning about all my issues and focussed on a few specifically. He gave me exercises at the end that have really helped.

E. M.

It was a relaxing experience. After the assessment, Robbie easily identified the tight muscles on my back. Deep tissue massage is worth a try.

D. C.

Robbie is a great therapist. I booked in and was seen very quickly. He gave a good consultation and great advice for future treatment.

I. F.

Went here for a massage a couple of weeks ago whilst visiting the area on business, I found Robbie to be very professional and friendly throughout and he even suggested a few nice places to visit whilst in town! Next time I am in the area I will definitely be returning to North-55.

A. C.

I went after the Edinburgh half marathon and during the 30 minute session got a complete work over of my legs. The quality of sports massage was high and left feeling relaxed and without pain.

C. D.

Went to Robbie for a stretching 1-1, great help in improving technique and results. Professionalism was great and the location and treatment facility were perfect.

S. A.

i work alongside Robbie in his other passions and the advice and motivation he provides to everyone is very inspiring always.

Robbie did a great job of sorting out my back today. I felt like a toffee chew when the session was finished! Thanks again Robbie

L. S.

Robbie is very knowledgeable and eased a lot of the back pain I had in one session. I would recommend a visit to North 55, and give him 5 stars

c. w.

Robbie has help me with my painful sciatica and gave me advice on exercises to do between appointments. Brilliant therapist, definitely would recommend Robbie.

c. f.

I didn't know what to expect having been to many practitioners. Great work i feel better and i am going to book in again for sure! Conner

Without doubt the best deep tissue massage I've ever had. Robbie was very friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

M. H.

great, robbie did a trigger point and foam roll home session with me which is not something he offers but he did it bespoke because i asked online.

M. A.

i work from a desk and being at home now on lockdown Robbie helped me out massively with soft tissue release using the equipment i had to hand.

J. C.

Excellent therapist. After thorough consultation, verified problem area and rectified leaving me largely pain free. Will definitely be a returning customer :o)

Great information on my injury and suggestions on what to do to heal it fast. Just what I needed.. My ankle already feels better with these exercises. Highly recommend!
