Project: physio Every individual has differing needs and goals so their personal project and journey will be unique to them.

Project: Physio is a pioneering sports physiotherapy, sports massage, and advanced rehabilitation clinic, based in Edinburgh's West End

Project: Physio | Redesigning Health, Wellness, and Performance With a combined 25 years in private physiotherapy practice and experience ranging from Rugby World Cups to Commonwealth Games our team of Stephen Mutch and Kenny Watt bring a huge amount of knowledge

, tools, and experience to project: physio. As each project progresses, our team understands and appreciates each step of the journey, adapts your treatment appropriately, and will match your clinical outcome to your goals. Our pioneering Edinburgh-based clinic is home to our sports physiotherapists and sports masseuse and our In-Clinic Consultations make use of the latest cutting edge technology

Using our Virtual Telehealth Consultation we can carry out a comprehensive assessment and review of your symptoms, and provide a tailored rehabilitation and education program that we can monitor remotely and adapt as necessary depending on your progress.

Volleyball player Paul rehabilitating a hip injury.

Key that we rebuild strength and function around the hip and pelvis in largely non-provocative positions.

The rehab targets the musculature around the hip to provide dynamic stabilization, compressing the femoral head into the socket, so limiting harmful shearing or sliding forces during movement.

Muscle weakness can alter the forces and loads within the hip joint in a detrimental way, shifting excessive stress onto the anterior aspect of the joint, the labrum, and the cartilage. Rebuilding strength ensures that Paul has adequate neuromuscular control to absorb loads and protect vulnerable tissues before engaging in high impact activities like volleyball.

It's been a pleasure supporting Scottish Rugby international with his Achilles rehabilitation before he joins his new club.

Building calf strength during the initial weeks while still immobilized in the VACOped boot is critical because it prepares the healing Achilles tendon to handle the high forces of walking, which can reach up to three times your body weight.

Initiating safe, progressive loading—such as seated isometric holds in a shortened, plantarflexed position—stimulates tendon stiffness and builds foundational capacity before the boot is removed, which is vital for preventing debilitating tendon elongation once full, unprotected weight-bearing begins.

Alongside calf development, it is also important to actively build strength back into the surrounding ankle musculature, particularly the peroneals.

Because the Achilles tendon features a unique anatomical structure that twists approximately 90 degrees laterally before inserting into the heel bone, the orientation of the foot during movements like eversion (which is controlled by the peroneals) directly influences how strain is transferred and distributed through the muscle-tendon unit. Therefore, strengthening the peroneals helps restore essential ankle stability and ensures optimal mechanical loading across the healing tendon.

The tool allows us to re-establish ROM into the mid foot and rear foot while Dorsiflexion is still limited.

We wish George all the best with his next move!!!

We are proud to offer consultancy to a number of athletes who are between clubs or out of contract alongside offering support to clubs looking to out source rehabilitation

runner and supported [email protected] in the clinic looking at reactive strength using the Kinvent Official Delta Force Plates.

Reactive strength utilizes the Stretch-Shortening Cycle (SSC). When your foot lands, tendons stretch (absorbing energy) and then rapidly recoil (releasing energy). Improving this ability can ultimately improve run economy, allowing Alastair to run faster or further while using less effort.

The 10/5 test and drop jump provide us with a Reactive Strength Index (RSI): with our runners in clinic we measure this by tracking how high an athlete can jump immediately after dropping off a box or with continuous hopping. A higher jump with a shorter ground contact time equals a superior RSI, which highly correlates with elite distance running performance.

The Exxentric flywheel provides a strong strength stimulus for the lateral hip. Carried out in the rack makes the execisce stable so allowing for more focus on strength rather than balance.

800m Team East Lothian AC runner Jamie in clinic building hip function.

The Exxentric flywheel allows for through range strengthening of these essential stabilisers (piriformis, gemelli, obturators, and gluteus maximus/medius fibers). Isolation with the continuous feedback of the flywheel forces rapid neuromuscular adaptations, teaching the brain to fire the deep stabilizing rotators precisely.

KBox Pro being put to use to provide an eccentric stimulus to hamstrings post repair.

Hamstring deficits post a hamstring graft are incredibly common so it's essential that once we have the go ahead from the surgeon we push on with strength.

Hamstrings are strongest when they are lengthening under tension. Traditional weights struggle to fully tax this phase because as we are limited by how much weight we can lift concentrically (on the way up).

With the flywheel, if we guide patients to give 100% effort to pull the weight up, the machine returns 100% of that force on the way down.

By resisting that return force over a shorter window of time, we create an "overload" that triggers massive strength gains and muscle growth.

Mountain runner Ifan in clinic looking at single leg force production.

Because running is essentially a series of unilateral (single-legged) bounds, evaluating how Ifan generates, absorbs, and transfers force on one leg at a time gives you us a highly specific window into his mechanics.

Using the data provided by the Delta Force Plates we can then highlight areas for improvement, in this case his deceleration/braking phase on the left leg. We can then prescribe exercise to overload and train this skill.

David working on run preparation post using the KBoxx Pro.

The KBoxx flywheel provides us with a novel stimulus in ACL rehab:

• Eccentric overload — the flywheel resists harder the more power David puts in, helping rebuild quad strength and tendon capacity safely and efficiently.

• Early power development — controlled acceleration + deceleration builds the braking strength we need before returning him to running.

• Better movement control — the constant resistance forces him to stabilise through the whole range, improving symmetry and knee confidence.

• Run-ready resilience — stronger quads, better shock absorption, and improved eccentric control = a safer, smoother transition back to running.
