No sports therapist listed in Edinburgh New Town yet.

A sports therapist treats and prevents musculoskeletal injuries using hands-on techniques like deep tissue massage, joint mobilisation and rehabilitation exercises.

You don't need to be an athlete to benefit - sports therapy helps anyone with muscle pain, joint stiffness or recovery from injury, whether it came from running a marathon or lifting a sofa.

Look for a therapist registered with the Society of Sports Therapists (SST) or a similar professional body to ensure they are properly qualified.

Edinburgh's New Town is a masterpiece of Georgian town planning, laid out in the 1760s on a grid of broad streets, elegant crescents and private gardens north of Princes Street.

It remains one of the most desirable residential addresses in Scotland, with grand townhouses converted into flats alongside offices, galleries and restaurants.

George Street, Queen Street and the streets between them house a mix of professional services, high-end retail and some of the city's best bars and restaurants.

The New Town Gardens - private communal gardens enclosed by the streets - are one of Edinburgh's most distinctive features, giving residents green space in the heart of the city.

The area has excellent transport connections, with Waverley and Haymarket stations both within walking distance and bus routes running along every main street.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core - but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts - the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
