Best of the Fest



Circus artists, acrobats, comedians and casts of shows such as Fuerzabruta have all been regular faces in our treatment rooms over Festivals. And this year, we're looking after an exceptional group called Circolombia.

The entertainers of Circolombia are drawn from the very best performers from Colombia's national circus school....but it's more than a Circus- it's heart-stopping acrobatic prowess and high voltage energy.

The show features fourteen male and two female performers aged 17 - 23, world-class acrobats on stage performing with volcanic energy. The show is suitable for all the family and runs daily at 12pm from 4th - 29th August at Assembly Hall. Featured on The One Show, it’s had 4 and 5 star reviews in Scotsman and Edinburgh Spotlight.

So if you want to see a high quality act this year, this one's highly recommended!

Introducing our New Physio

Brendan Meffan (BPhty Cred MDT) is set to begin as our new Physio working from Bannatynes Health Club, Queen Street, and Henderson Row from Monday the 18th of July.

He qualified from Otago University (Dunedin, New Zealand) in 2005 and has worked in private practice since graduation. Brendan is moving up from London to join our Edinburgh clinic and we're looking forward to welcoming him into our fold!

His experience encompasses a broad range of clients; from sports people at a variety of levels, namely rugby and basketball at national level and cricket to international level, to those suffering occupational stresses and strains. Having competed in running events up to ultra-marathon distance, Brendan loves the challenge of treating obsessive runners using a combination of skilful manual ! therapy and in-depth rehabilitation to provide the most effective relief of pain.

His greatest challenge is making sure his patients understand their injuries in order to prevent recurrence and apply self-management techniques in order to keep healthy.

Outside of work, he's looking forward to sampling Edinburgh's diverse cultural scene, peaceful days fly fishing and the social round of golf. Brendan has enjoyed ski seasons in Canada and Japan and looks forward to further exploring the slopes of Europe over the coming years.

We hope to see you soon,

Free Massage Tasters

As our Physio Drop in Clinics have become so popular, we thought you might like a taste of our Deep Tissue Massage Therapists too.

Most of us carry signs of stress and tightness, particularly just before we develop pain or problems. Deep Tissue Massage releases muscles, which are held in spasm from injury or simply sitting for long periods at work. Our Deep Tissue Therapists work closely with the Physios to loosen the specific muscles which pull on your joints and nerves- regular Deep Tissue work will not only help to relieve general aches and pains, it improves the condition of your body and prevents pain from taking hold.

Until the end of August, we want to offer you a Free 15 minute Deep Tissue Massage Taster, sessions are available 7 days a week. Your therapist will give you a quick hands on physical assessment to:

Discover which areas of you are stiff and tight
Give you advice/ exercises to take control

To book your Free Massage Taster, just call us on 0131 556 1116 or email enquiries@edphysio.com, and we'll arrange your 15 minute session.

With kind regards,
