Active X Clinics – Expert Osteopathy in Edinburgh

About Active X Clinics Active X Clinics – Osteopath

Active X Clinics (AXC) was founded in 1992 by Gavin Routledge, one of Edinburgh’s first osteopaths. Over the years, the clinic has grown, bringing together over 25 osteopaths and 10 massage therapists. Our team is dedicated to providing top-quality care and helping patients manage and overcome musculoskeletal conditions, particularly back pain and sciatica.

Our Expertise and Specialisation

At AXC, we specialise in treating lower back pain and sciatica. Gavin Routledge’s personal experience with back pain has shaped the clinic’s approach. With more than 30 years of experience, Gavin completed a Master’s in The Clinical Management of Pain from the University of Edinburgh in 2015. His expertise ensures that we stay at the forefront of back pain treatment.

In addition to clinical treatment, Gavin developed an app to help patients manage their pain. He has also designed training courses for physical therapists and fitness professionals, which further highlights our commitment to innovative solutions for back pain.
