No sports therapist listed in Innerleithen 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.

Innerleithen is a small town on the River Tweed between Peebles and Galashiels, known nationally as one of Scotland's premier mountain biking destinations.

The Innerleithen trails and nearby Glentress Forest form part of the 7stanes network and have hosted World Cup downhill events.

The town has a textile heritage - Robert Smail's Printing Works, run by the National Trust for Scotland, preserves a Victorian letterpress workshop in working order.

Innerleithen has a strong community spirit, an annual festival called the Cleikum Ceremonies and a high street with local shops and cafes.

St Ronan's Wells, the mineral spring that once made the town a spa destination, connects it to Sir Walter Scott's novel of the same name.

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.
