Movement, done properly.

Health by Science was built to remove the guesswork from getting stronger, recovering from injury, and building long-term health.

We combine physiotherapy in Edinburgh, personal training in Edinburgh, and habit-based coaching under one roof.

A team that truly cares

Many people first find us looking for physiotherapy in Edinburgh or personal training in Edinburgh, and stay because of the care and support they receive.

Not Just Another Gym

Health by Science is great. I’ve always learned enough to make the following weeks and months better for me. It’s not the same as a big gym — it’s for people with physical challenges who want to overcome them. A personal touch, healthcare expertise, and time for proper appointments.

Committed to Improvement

Kubo has worked with me on mobility, fitness and strength for three months and I can see real improvement. I really like the Health by Science ethos and their commitment to CPD for staff and clients, as well as their rehab programmes.

Client-Centred and Holistic

Health by Science is best in the business. Their approach is always client-centred and holistic. I first went for personal training when I was pregnant and have been back ever since for fitness and physio support. Highly recommended.
