ESP Physiotherapy (Edinburgh) — Physiotherapist in Edinburgh, Scotland

Great initial appt with Cairn. Clearly knows his stuff, and provided me with follow up rehab plan quickly after the appt.

I recently had a fall and had a tear in my meniscus ligament, it was causing excruciating pain and getting worse over time rsther than better so decided to seek done professional physio input. I have had around 8 appointments at ESP with Scott Lang. I have to say he was absolurely excellent. He assessed thoroughly and quickly identified the problem. With a combination of interventions such as the shockwave treatment and using the blade to get deep into the area and surrounding area I feel I have came out the other end hugely improved. He gave me a comprehensive set of exercises to do at home which were bespoke for my needs. I also have rheumatoid arthritis so some exercises were a bit harder due to existing joint problems but Scott took that into consideration and gave me manageable alternatives. I would recommend ESP without hesitation, their customer service, communication were all excellent but the expertise and knowledge that Scott approached my care with was second to none. I felt I was in really good hands and will definitely use the organisation in the future.

I recently had an appointment with Gordon at Stirling Rugby Club, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to understand my concerns thoroughly. The hands-on treatment he provided significantly relieved my pain. Additionally, the follow-up was incredibly useful, as he prescribed tailored additions to my training schedule aimed at strengthening my underlying issues. I appreciate his approach and expertise, which made a positive impact on my recovery. Highly recommended!

Morgan is very knowledgeable and professional. She clearly explains the mechanics behind the problems and how the treatment plan will work to solve this, dealing with the route cause not just the symptoms. I would highly recommend ESP Physio having experienced many different physios in my sporting career.

I was referred to ESP Physio through healthcare provider with the acute sciatica and muscle spasms and I was seen very quickly. Dr Morgan Balsam was so understanding and patient throughout the sessions, by explaining the causes, giving the tailored exercises and advice how to handle the sore back. In addition I also received the dry needling treatment which in combination of the exercises allowed me to have a full recovery. Would highly recommend Dr Morgan and would absolutely return if I ever would need any further treatments.

After first visit with Scott at ESP I knew he would be able to help me. He has made me feel confident I can get better with treatment programme he has set for me. Jacqueline Johnson

I went to ESP to try and figure out some wrist and arm pain I had been having. Dr Morgan has been incredible in helping me understand the cause of the pain, providing me with exercises and targeted massage/cupping in areas where needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her kind and understanding approach is so appreciated. I always felt at ease and she made sure to tailor exercises/massage to my needs. My recovery has been amazing after working with her over the past two months. I’m so grateful to be feeling so much better and working on rebuilding strength again. I cannot recommend Dr Morgan enough for her professionalism, knowledge, kindness and warmth.

Andrew Lin has been outstanding. Right from the start, he explained my shoulder issue clearly and in straightforward terms. He was patient, attentive, and easy to talk to, taking the time to understand the history of my injury and any changes in my daily routine. Andrew provided tailored exercises and closely monitored my progress, combining them with targeted massage when needed to ease the pressure points. Over the past three months, the improvement in my shoulder has been remarkable. I would highly recommend Andrew for his expertise, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm.

Andrew has been exceptional in supporting my recovery from a calf tear. When I first visited him, I was struggling to walk, but he put together a clear four-week rehabilitation plan to get me back to running. Each week, we adjusted the stretches based on his assessment, ensuring a safe and steady progression toward my goal. Yesterday, I completed my final physio session and can now run confidently again. Thanks to Andrew’s expertise, I’ll be able to participate in my event next week—something that felt impossible just a month ago

A very professional outfit! From the outset I received all the right documentation and questionnaire forms to complete and then I was assigned Cairn. From the very beginning, Cairn explains everything very well and went into detail. He was very thorough with his examination of my shoulder and although the treatment was very intense, it made a huge difference. Cairn is an absolute gentleman too and it was a pleasure chatting to him during the physio sessions. I was also emailed excellent exercises to do in between the physio sessions which helped a lot. Iwould highly recommend ESP to anyone and Cairn as I think he is a great ambassador to the practice.
