No physiotherapist listed in Ednam yet.

A physiotherapist assesses, diagnoses and treats physical problems caused by injury, illness or ageing - using hands-on techniques, exercise programmes and education to restore movement and reduce pain.

Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a long-term condition or dealing with a stiff neck that will not shift, a good physio gets to the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.

Check they are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) - both are marks of a qualified, regulated practitioner.

Ednam is a small village on the Eden Water about two miles north of Kelso, in the agricultural heartland of the eastern Borders.

It is the birthplace of James Thomson, the poet who wrote 'Rule, Britannia!' and 'The Seasons' and the village maintains that literary connection.

Ednam has a handful of houses, a church and a quiet character, with Kelso providing all everyday services.

The village sits in rich farmland in the lower Tweed valley, with views towards the Cheviot Hills to the south.

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys and market towns - the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs - Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose and Selkirk - each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking and rugby - a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
