Reviews of The Physiotherapy Place - Edinburgh

K. L.

I’ve had a few sessions with Niall so far and what a difference he has made to my back pain, I was in a lot of pain before hand. Niall is an amazing physio and very good at what he does. The IMS needling is a brilliant treatment and really does help your back pain/muscle tightness. I highly recommend Niall and the Physio Place!

s. b.

Niall was recommended to me by 2 of my colleagues and I'm so glad I went to him as the sciatica I'd had for 2 months before going for physio, causing me pain and weakness every day, and no sleep at night, has all but gone after 5 sessions. I could stop taking the nerve painkillers, which was all the doctor was able to offer, after the 2nd session. He's friendly, efficient and uses a mix of techniques to manage your problem.

J. R.

Anna helped me with arm, hand and finger pain that had been bothering me most seriously for a few months but less seriously for a few years, pain that I was seriously concerned was simply part and parcel of my occupation. She was very thorough in finding out what was wrong - which another physiotherapist hadn’t been able to do - before recommending a whole range of exercises to deal with it. A month later, any pain that comes is much more manageable, even to the point where I pretty much don’t think about it anymore. Warmly recommended.

D. M.

Amazing results wish I had gone to this place sooner. Jess has been working on my ankle which I broke after being in a boot for 6 weeks my foot and leg were extremely stiff painful to walk on I walked with a limp. I have had 2 sessions now and huge improvements have been achieved my measurements that were taken have improved tremendously. Jess is fantastic shows you every exercise make sure you are doing it correctly constant communication with jess amazing after a few sessions I dont walk with a limp anymore ankle foor much more flexibility cant thank Jess enough for her care and getting me back walking normally again I can highly recommend this place fantastic

C. M.

Worked with Niall and really happy with service. Had a frozen shoulder and felt the difference in movement even after one session. Have since made a lot of progress. Can’t recommend enough. Very professional and knowledgeable.

A. M.

Can't praise them enough. Niall has sorted my long standing cuboid foot issue,my hip and knee. Definitely worth a visit if you need an excellent physio.

B. G.

I've been treated here a few times for different issues. All the staff are very professional, clear about what the therapy can do and what it can't, and the video clips they give access to which show how the exercises should be done are really helpful.

r. b.

Niall was recommended by my daughter after I had been suffering severe hip pain for over a year due to a full thickness tear of the tendon surrounding the hip. After only two/ three treatments consisting of deep massage, stretching, manipulation, excercises & tiny needles, I noticed a huge difference to my walking & hip joint which became pain free after so long. It has made such a difference to my life being able to move more freely. Niall delivers a highly professional & skilled service in a safe environment.

M. B.

The Physiotherapy Place was recommended to me by a friend when I had problem with stiffness and pain in my leg. After 2 appointments with Niall the IMS treatment made a huge improvement and I had more flexibility than ever before. Not bad for someone who hates needles! Follow up session today and moving freely without pain. Cannot recommended highly enough - thank you Niall!

G. C.

Neil was recommended to me by my neighbour and after struggling with neck pain for several months I booked a consultation. Really happy with the treatment and advice I received. Neil was friendly, professional and has made a huge difference to my quality of life. Highly recommend and I won’t hesitate to return if I need further support.

B. C.

Niall was recommended to me by a friend, and I decided to book in for a consultation after suffering with severe lower back pain / issues for months previously. Niall was very friendly, helpful and knowledgable, and after giving me his diagnosis, suggested a plan that he thought would get my back fixed and back on track. Needless to say that I have recovered with the treatment and advice given by Niall at The Physiotherapy Place and I wouldn’t hesitate to return if I sought any further help. Highly recommend Niall if you require any physio treatment.

C. M.

I’ve had a really good experience at the physiotherapy place! The physio was really professional and helped so much with my injury! 😊 I’ve also had a sports massage from Morganne which was great!

I had a painful shoulder sprain which was limiting my activities but after two sessions and following the exercises provided I feel so much better. The dry needling smoothed out some really stubborn upper back knots and I've made changes to smaller daily stresses like poor posture and carrying technique (which I didn't realise would be contributing so much to the injury!). Definitely recommend!

R. M.

Having increased my 5km runs too quickly over lockdown, I developed patellofemoral pain in my right knee. I had three treatment sessions at the Physio Place in April/May 2020. I always received a warm welcome from the team when I arrived. During my treatment, Niall was very clear in explaining his techniques and answering my questions. Exercises are given to be completed between sessions. As a woman, I always felt comfortable, safe and respected during treatment. I'd happily use the Physio Place again, although hopefully I won't need to!

N. P.

Niall sorted out my ongoing shoulder pain. He is very professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Along with massage , dry needling and advice on exercises my shoulder has shown considerable improvement in just a few weeks.. The place is very covid aware and spotless and the staff are a delight. I thoroughly recommend.

N. B.

I booked in with Niall after suffering from hip and foot pain from a running injury. A few sessions later, through a combination of dry needling and massage, I was pain free and back running. I honestly didn't think I'd be fixed so quickly! Niall is really extremely knowledgeable and explained clearly what the problem was and how to prevent it happening again. A really friendly practice which I would highly recommend.

A. M.

I have had several treatments with Morganne and can highly recommend her. I have suffered from lower back pain for around 2 years and have been treated with physiotherapy on a regular basis. The sessions with Morganne work in harmony and I have found this really beneficial. She manages to identify the problem areas on the back and works efficiently to ease these areas. I can physically feel the difference after the session and the benefits can be felt for days afterwards. I feel completely confident and trusting in her skill to improve my back. Annabel

F. M.

Niall is a brilliant physio. I'd highly recommend him. He treated my back, neck and jaw which has been a persistent problem over the past few years. I was amazed at how quickly the treatment worked. After the first treatment, the pain was much improved and after the second treatment, the pain had completely gone. Very professional, approachable and friendly clinic. 5 stars.

P. D.

Fantastic service, was seen at short notice for nerve/joint problem in my neck. Niall has a very professional manner and got right to the heart of the issue while explaining it in layman's terms so I could understand what was going on. He then used a combination of manipulation and the dry needling technique to correct the issue. Within a few days, as he predicted, I was back to full fitness and pain free. Would thoroughly recommend!

D. G.

I attended the Physiotherapy Place with some pretty severe leg pain caused by a running injury. Niall got straight to the root of the problem and with a course of IMS, massage and stretching got me back on the road in a few sessions. The team are very friendly and efficient. They dealt with my private health care provider making it a very simple and straightforward process. Would not hesitate to recommend or return when/if needed.

I have been a client of Quinton's for 3 months, I was apprehensive having never had physiotherapy before ( is that not just for fit sporty people I mused....!?!) So after a phone consultation where Quinton patiently listened to my acute groin pain woes and explained what was involved I went for my first appointment. I was immediately put at ease and even had dry needling which is a strange but not painful experience! It's fair to say I am a work in progress, but progress we are making and my pain is much less and bearable. I am so glad I found the physiotherapy place, prices are good, clean and welcoming, friendly reception staff, oh and the background music gets a thumbs up! :))

K. E.

Loved Niall and all the staff at this practice. Weekly dose of healing and love in these trying times when I was injured. Niall really helped me shift some shoulder and hip pain and loved the depth of the needling treatment!#forevergrateful. First stop when In Edinburgh and body needs some tlc. Thanks Kate

s. k.

I have a number of painful health conditions, including problems with my spine. I could barely move and after only a few sessions with Niall, I had much greater mobility. I can't recommend these guys enough - integrity, subject matter expertise, kindness and compassion in abundance!! And Amber on reception is an absolute treat!! See you soon guys 😁🙏🎗️

K. 1.

I highly recommend The Physiotherapy Place to anyone. I am a returning customer and on each occasion, Niall has sorted out my issues. The Physiotherapy Place is very welcoming and all staff are very friendly. Be sure to book an appointment at The Physiotherapy Place as you certainly won't be disappointed.

M. F.

I simply loved going to Niall's sessions. They helped a lot with my pinched nerve problem. Niall's got a wonderful way of making you feel relaxed. The needle treatment made a huge difference to my shoulder and elbow pain. Also, making the appointments was easy and you get an email reminder. I thoroughly recommend The Physiotherapy Place.

D. H.

Receptionist lovely and friendly. I came in with recurrent lower back pain due to an old injury & pregnancy. Received dry needling treatment and I haven't had a bad back day since. It was miraculous. Having spent hundreds on chiropractors & pilates - this worked after only 3 sessions. They really take the time to consider all your symptoms. Would always return here if ever required in future. Knowledgeable & trustworthy staff.

M. M.

Amazing few sessions and great after care - Sorted my shoulder out after a few sessions 🙌🙌

Love the new Musselburgh studio. Great location and premises to add to treatment that works!

J. C.

Niall has recently treated my long-standing neck and shoulder problems. After a few sessions using IMS, my almost daily headaches and neck tension, have improved beyond measure. In fact, I haven't had a headache now for over two months. Niall is friendly and professional, and always explains exactly what he is doing and why. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. Being able to book appointments online is a real plus.

j. f.

Niall was brilliant when I went in in agony with a frozen shoulder; he somehow squeezed me in despite being so busy, and his treatment was amazing- totally better the following day. Following his advice, I haven't had another episode since. When my partner injured his shoulder I sent him in; he is currently seeing Niall's colleague regularly with a complex injury which we hope can be stabilised. Both are extremely knowledgeable and I often recommend them.

J. P.

Niall's knowledge is second to none! Really thought my knee/hip injury after running my first 10k was unfixable but with deep tissue massage, dry needling techniques, exercises tips and advice I'm on the road to recovery. Can't fault the service, great appointment times and reception team so friendly. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks guys

A. M.

Everyone at the Physiotherapy Place are friendly, welcoming and helpful. As a regular client I am extremely happy with my treatment for my ongoing issues, Niall is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend!

M. T.

I’ve had lower back trouble since I was 15, I’ve tried basic physio and massage for years (I’m now 37) but it was only ever short term relief from the pain and stiffness. After one 30 minute IMF session with Niall my back instantly felt more supple and loose and the stiffness had gone. I’m writing this 4 hours after and I can’t believe how well it’s worked. I’ve booked in for another session next week. I can’t believe what a difference one session has made after all these years of trying other therapies. Thanks for your amazing work!

S. B.

Fantastic experience at The Physiotherapy Place. Booked easily online and saw Quinton the next day. I am recovering from vascular surgery in my leg and while this had healed, I was left with almost unbearable muscular pain in my calf. Quinton was fantastic, had a great consultation on Monday, he worked on my leg and used ultrasound therapy and gave me stretches and exercises to do at home. I saw him again on Wednesday and my condition was vastly improved. The pain is almost gone and while I still have a way to go to regain full mobility, I now feel optimistic that I’ll walk properly again soon. I can’t thank or recommend Quinton enough, I feel like he’s worked miracles. If you’re thinking about booking here - definitely do it, you won’t regret it!

J. F.

Being one of the first to visit Niall in his portobello practice after being unable to bowl for 9 months after an injury to my back, I was back bowling shortly after and even months later I am still pain free. I have recommended him to others and all have had great results! Give him a try you won’t be disappointed.

R. M.

Warm and inviting physio staff and a very relaxed feeling. My physio Neil listened to my problem with my neck and also my concerns and he quickly assured me that he could help my recovery and explained exqctly what type of treatment i would be receiving. After every session i have felt better thwn the week before. I would highly recommend physiotherapy place for anyone who requires a physio.

S. R.

Tennis elbow has been a recurring issue for me. Niall took an extensive history before considering the best method of treatment. I had tried other physio’s but I believe his use of IMS was what made the difference. Hope I never have to go back… but if I need physio, it’s the only place I’ll go.

K. S.

I attended after a car accident and my GP had dismissed physio. Niall really did help. Not only did he listen and carefully take notes, he assessed my symptoms well and the treatment was effective. Will definitely go back if i have any other issues.

D. C.

Getting joint grumbles is a pain but Niall examined thoroughly, explained what was going on, treated the knee and shoulder using massage and acupuncture and advised exercise and home continuation. Very efficient. Considerable improvement and glad I went.

S. S.

I can't recommend Physiotherapy Place highly enough. I've been to Niall to have treatment for various aches and pains over the years, specifically for chronic low back pain after child birth. I had tried umpteen different therapies, none of which worked. Then Niall gave me some IMS, which worked a treat. Brilliant.

I. F.

I heard about Niall through family who all had great results with him. I travelled from Aberdeen to try him out and was so impressed with the results for multiple back problems, that all of my private medical health services have been unable to resolve, that I continued to visit from Aberdeen. He used the Guns IMS needle technique along with physical manipulation and an exercise program and achieved better results than all of the physios and chiropractors I tried in Aberdeen. He is also a very personable guy which helps when you are stuck in a small room with him for 30 mins at a time :)

R. E.

I have attended this physio several times. I really rate Niall's treatment. He explains what the problem is very clearly and suggested treatment. I came to visit him as a recommendation from a friend ,my husband attends his clinic also my Mother and my friend who travels from the borders to attend this practice. I cannot rate him highly enough

k. J.

I attended The Physiotherapy Place to seek help about a hamstring injury. Quinton was extremely helpful and professional and was able to explain the details of my injury as well as give me recovery time frames. He also gave me a deep tissue massage which relieved the pain. He then gave me a series of exercises and advice in order to re-strengthen the muscle and help me recover. I'm now back to full fitness and training, pain free!

G. S.

Brilliant advice and treatment from the best physios I've ever used. Their expertise got me to the start line (and finish line!) of the London Marathon - forever grateful. Top quality service, extremely professional and highly recommended.

M. C. M.

Big thankyou to Neil. I had two appointments so far and my acute as well as long term problems got significantly better. Also my blood pressure has dropped suddenly after a few years which I believe is connected to this treatment too. Highly recommended. Thank you.

A. J.

A very friendly and professional service. A few sessions definitely seems to have eased a long standing knee injury and allowed me to return to exercising without the usual pain. Just need to make sure I do my exercises! I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking further help or advice for physiotherapy.

c. c.

Niall listened carefully and sympathetically to my issues. After manipulation and some other treatments in his surgery, I was given a few exercises to do at home which strengthened, supported and improved my knees and shoulders. Life is so much easier now!

V. R.

Could not recommend this place highly enough. Went to see Niall with chronic shoulder pain that turned out to be slipped disc. Before and during this ordeal I saw sports massage therapist, an osteopath, a GP, a neurosurgeon and Niall. Niall was a life saver. Unlike the GP he quickly diagnosed me, quietly and confidently suggested a treatment regime and he was so gentle and sympathetic. I was confident I was in good hands. Everything was smooth from booking to liaising with private healthcare and other medical professionals. It was made so easy at a very difficult time for me as I was off work for weeks. I've heard so many stories of people loyal to their chiro/osteo yet they're still in pain. Makes no sense. He focussed on root cause and as soon as I was fixed (and I'm totally 100pc fixed) he sent me on my merry way, when he could easily have encouraged me to continue he to see him regularly so he could have a nice income stream. But no, he knew I was fine and wanted to focus on fixing the next person. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. Quinton dealt with me when Niall was on holiday and I thought he was excellent too.

s. h.

I received a call from Quentin really quickly and he was able to offer me great advice to help my foot pain. Thanks to everyone at the Physiotherapy Place it’s a great service!

S. K.

Simply the best. I've tried many forms of massage therapy over the last 15 years, for stiff shoulders and neck (the usual computer-use-related things). Niall's physio work, plus the magic of Gunn IMS, has been a revelation. More effective and longer-lasting than anything else I've tried. I'll be a regular here (but not too often, of course!)

G. M.

Super place, the staff here are great and put you at ease. Been having problems with my hip and after a course of treatment with Niall I am pain free and full range of movement. Highly recommended

R. M.

My 15 year old son was complaining of back pain after playing football. He had 4 sessions with Quinton at the Physiotherapy Place in Portobello which included dry needle and a program of stretches/exercises to complete. Thankfully my son is pain free and back playing with no restrictions. I would highly recommend Quinton based on his expertise and knowledge of assessing/treating Sport type injuries.

F. A.

I saw Niall for a few sessions around neck pain and he was great - I’ve had recurring issues for years, and his was by far the most effective treatment I’ve received and left me pain free. Excellent service.

A. J.

Very easy to book online or over the phone (staff are very helpful). I have had several consultations with both Niall and Quinton. Extremely knowledgeable and professional, they helped me to get back to fitness through treatments, therapy and exercise advice.

D. T. D.

After 6 years of pain in my lower back and seeing a number of people who tried (and failed) to help, Niall has totally listened and worked away, after a few sessions I was feeling better and after a few more I am 95% there! very good and i can't recommend more highly

C. D.

The two times I’ve needed physio, the Physio Place has been perfect. Easy to book and simple clear instructions on how to support myself during sessions.

T. M.

I had a recurring shoulder problem. The guys at the Physiotherapy place were great. They professionally identified the problem, performed treatment and gave me advice and exercises to prevent the issue recurring. Highly recommended!

J. W.

Fantastic experience, I could hardly walk due to knee pain and made an appointment with Nial. I was concerned my knee would ruin my holiday but after a couple of appointments I was able to go on holiday without worrying. Would highly recommend this Physiotherapy place 😀

S. S.

The care and treatment I received from Niall for a complicated fracture of my arm was excellent. I now feel confident to do excises and the progress in my recovery to full movement of my arm has been wonderful.

C. S.

Excellent treatment and advice from Niall for a rotator cuff injury. Physiotherapy right in the heart of Portobello - highly recommended!

F. K.

Excellent treatment from Quinton. With some stretching advice, manipulation and acupuncture he helped me to manage a back injury in only three sessions. Highly recommend!

L. H.

I've been living in a fair bit of pain with my neck and shoulder for around two years. I have had a few sessions of dry needle acupuncture and can't believe the improvement from a condition I thought was for life. Professional and kind care, I cant recommend enough.

A. M.

Niall used the IMS technique for my lower back pain and I could not believe the difference it has made. Would highly recommend to anyone who has sports/ postural problems.

J. F.

I went to visit Quentin after my GP suggested I get physio. I was recommend by a friend to go to The Physiotherapy Place. Quentin was great and helped me enormously.

B. H.

The practice is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Treatments I have had have always been on time and effective. I have been impressed and have recommended the practice to friends without hesitation.

C. R.

Have visited on a number of occasions now, both for physio treatment and massage. Always friendly service, always sort out my aches and pains. Happy to recommend. Thanks all.

S. R.

I saw Quinton at The Physio Place having put up with chronic pain for a few months. Brilliant results, such a relief and joy to be almost pain free.

R. F.

After suffering pain from plantar fasciitis for several weeks and a visit to my GP with no joy, I decided to visit The Physiotherapy Place and after my second visit I could have skipped out!! Excellent team - can’t thank them enough especially Quentin

C. L.

I'm really grateful to Niall - the exercises he gave me have really helped my finger, which hadn't shown any improvement for months. Would highly recommend!

A. M.

I've suffered with back problems most of my adult life. Having tried various treatments which offered short term relief, Quinton has sorted me out and I've been pain free since seeing him.

J. H.

After having knee replacement surgery and feeling recovery progress very slow came along for physio met Quentin Who immediately put me at ease talked through what would he would be doing over the course of a few weeks I am now at a place where I feel operation was worth it Would like to thank Quentin Caulfield for all his help and support

P. D.

When I was diagnosed with "Golfer's elbow" (is there such a thing?) Quinton helped me get through it and provide me with a range of strengthening techniques and now my elbow is as strong as it has ever been.

E. T.

Had an issue with one of my knees and I was told what had happened to it and how to best protect it in the future. My knee feels as strong as my other knee now and would always recommend coming to here for any issues.

Y. W.

Saw Quinton, very professional, would highly recommend him. Helped me get back to my Zumba. Very reasonably priced.

J. R.

I went to the Physiotherapy Place with a bad back. Was treated by Niall over a couple of sessions and managed to get me sorted out. Thanks Niall

P. J.

Niall was excellent, & front office staff are friendly & helpful. Thank you! A great service to have on our doorstep.

C. W.

Superb service Wonderful physios My sore back is the best it’s been in a long time since coming here If you need a physiotherapist I recommend here

C. J.

Was having problems with my back and in turn this was affecting my rugby. I went in booked an appointment and after i had my treatment my problems were solved!
