Active Health edinburgh

Sorted! I was treated here by Liesel who was thoroughly professional and clearly very experienced. I had long standing neck and shoulder pain and had let it go on far too long so had seized up. 6 sessions later at a very fair price I am discharged and very nearly pain free with much better mobility. I was given a selection of easy stretching exercises and suffering treatments including 'dry needles' I thoroughly recommend.

Was in pain, now I'm not! I can honestly say that I have never had a remedial massage quite like it. Feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

A great place to have my sore muscles massaged, staffed by wonderful people. :)

Friendly and welcoming place where all have exceptional skills

(Original Review on Yelp. ) I am a seasoned client of several massage and physiotherapy places. I have had quite a range of Osteopaths and Massage Therapists. Every place has its own group of therapists, some specialise in one area of physical and personal well-being. Active Health has been on my radar for a long time now. I made the step today to pay them a visit. Mainly for one reason: Briana Eades. Back in 2010 she was one of the leading masseuses that was treating my Sciatica and lower back problems. Her approach was novel, personal and very effective. She introduced me to new ways of experiencing Massage Therapy. The Deep Tissue Massage sessions are done with clear expertise and skill. Clearly she does give it her all, but stays bright and joyful throughout! I suspect that Briana has possibly 'used' me to expand her knowledge during my treatment as on her suggestions I was introduced to the G5 Machine (deep tissue) and Manual Lymphatic Draining (a type of massage that helps the lymph nodes drain and is incredible relaxing!) and this only makes her a very versatile member of the Active Health Team. From their website: "Briana is qualified in a number of massage therapy techniques including Remedial, Sports, Deep Tissue, Swedish/Relaxation, Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Aromatherapy including Raindrop Technique." She takes detailed notes during the sessions and will adjust the therapy to suit the current need and wants of the client. On arrival I was asked to fill out the personal contact details and the physical issues you need assistance with. Some medical details and insurance details are also asked for. The massage room I had was of an adequate size, heated and no distractions. (well there is some classical music in the background). The table was comfortable and had an warming pad to avoid getting cold. Nice touch. After the initial consultation - as we shared a history it wasn't that long of a chat- we got straight into it. Working on some problem points on my legs and lower back, some tension release around the neck & shoulders and to finish with the Lymphatic Drainage. I felt reborn! I will definitely make another appointment, and as I understand they have evening times available too. This session was an hour and cost £42 - well worth every penny!

Was recommended by a friend for a massage here. Booked in for the Hot Stone with Catriona - I felt incredible for days after. Catriona is a dream and I had the most relaxing hour I have had in a long time! Thank you - will be back asap!

Always professional and helpful. My go to place for massage and physio

I run and if I ever get an injury I always see Liesel for physio. She is very experienced, and always solves the issue I go with whether it's knee, ankle, hip. I can't recommend her enough. A great service, reasonably priced and to date 100% success rate for me and my issues.

Highly recommended. Had a bad calf strain for no apparent reason but a few sessions with Kaylan and it’s now good as gold, with lots of advice and exercises from her on avoiding a reoccurrence.
