No physiotherapist listed in Livingston 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.

Livingston is the largest settlement in West Lothian and Scotland's fifth-largest town, built from the 1960s as a New Town to house overspill from Glasgow and Edinburgh.

The Almondvale Centre is one of the largest shopping destinations in central Scotland, anchoring a retail offer that draws visitors from across the region.

Despite its new town origins, Livingston has a strong local economy and is home to several major employers, a further education college and a full range of public services.

Its position on the M8, with rail connections east to Edinburgh and west to Glasgow, makes it one of the best-connected towns in Lowland Scotland.

West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north and North Lanarkshire to the west.

It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Livingston is the county's main centre - Scotland's fifth-largest settlement - but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.

The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings - the waste heaps of the shale works - that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.

West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
