Physiotherapists in Edinburgh

Essentially, we are a team of eight qualified* and experienced physiotherapists. Our founding directors, Darren Cornforth and Graham Curlewis, have both been practising physiotherapy since 1990. Their backgrounds include professional sports, private and NHS outpatient hospitals as well as occupational health. While we also employ other types of therapies at physis e.g. massage, podiatry and pilates - physiotherapy remains at our core.

The meaning of 'physis'
At physis, we recognise that our business is all about making you better - putting a smile back on your face. Our aim is to ease your pain by getting to the root of its cause. The techniques we use to do this encourage and nurture your body to naturally grow healthier tissue. In the past, we used technical, medical terms to explain this process. Then we discovered the word 'physis.' This is an ancient Greek term that means 'natural growth.' It's also the basis from which the word 'physiotherapy' is derived. To us, physis succinctly describes what our business is all about - we work with nature, rather than against it. To our patients, it simply means that our treatments make them better.
