About Us

At Prime Sports Physiotherapy we help active people stay active. We believe no one should have to live with pain or limitations. We are specialists in helping injured people get back to the life and sport they love. Whether you’re a professional athlete, a promising youth player, or someone simply looking to move better in daily life, our expert physiotherapists are here to help you achieve your goals.

We are one of Edinburgh's Leading specialist physiotherapy clinics, known for the breadth of expertise we offer, without compromise on quality. We are a physiotherapy practice that other physiotherapists choose to manage their injuries.

Since opening in 2017, we’ve helped thousands of people across Edinburgh recover, perform and thrive. Prime is an acronym for Paediatric Rehabilitation and Injury Management Expertise with our mission to provide specialist support to children and young athletes. Over the years, we’ve added adult specialities too! From children with musculoskeletal injuries to adults preparing for surgery, from competitive athletes to those who simply want to move without pain.

We are invested in helping you be at your best. Our expert physiotherapists and massage therapists combine their knowledge of anatomy, medicine, movement, exercise and pain science, and tailored treatment techniques, with genuine kindness and care. Our class teachers create a community of wellness. We don’t just treat symptoms, we work with you to identify the root cause, create a personalised plan, and guide you confidently back to full strength.

We deliver ethical, evidence-based care that prioritises your long-term results.
