Really excellent, effective treatment, absolutely recommended. Very good COVID-19 precautions in place too.
— Coralie Mills
I heard about Niall through family who all had great results with him. I travelled from Aberdeen to try him out and was so impressed with the results for multiple back problems, that all of my private medical health services have been unable to resolve, that I continued to visit from Aberdeen. He used the Guns IMS needle technique along with physical manipulation and an exercise program and achieved better results than all of the Physios and chiropractors I tried in Aberdeen. He is also a very personable guy which helps when you are stuck in a small room with him for 30 mins at a time. :)
— Ian Fowler
I have attended this Physio several times. I really rate Niall’s treatment. He explains what the problem is very clearly and suggested treatment. I came to visit him as a recommendation from a friend. My husband attends his clinic and also my Mother and my friend who travels from the Borders to attend this practice. I cannot rate him highly enough.
— Rowena Ewen
I have a number of painful health conditions, including problems with my spine. I could barely move and after only a few sessions with Niall, I had much greater mobility. I can’t recommend these guys enough - integrity, subject matter expertise, kindness and compassion in abundance!! And Amber on reception is an absolute treat!! See you soon guys 😁🙏🎗️
— Sarah Kish
Everyone at The Physiotherapy Place are friendly, welcoming and helpful. As a regular client I am extremely happy with my treatment for my ongoing issues. Niall is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Would highly recommend!
— Aussie M
Niall has done wonders for my back. Excellent service and friendly staff 😃
— Janet Smith
Excellent treatment from Quinton. With some stretching advice, manipulation and acupuncture he helped me to manage a back injury in only three sessions. Highly recommend!
— Fiona Kearney
I have been a client of Quinton’s for 3 months. I was apprehensive having never had physiotherapy before (is that not just for fit sporty people I mused....!?!) So after a phone consultation where Quinton patiently listened to my acute groin pain woes and explained what was involved, I went for my first appointment. I was immediately put at ease and even had dry needling which is a strange but not painful experience! It’s fair to say I am a work in progress, but progress we are making and my pain is much less and bearable. I am so glad I found the physiotherapy place, prices are good, clean and welcoming, friendly reception staff, oh and the background music gets a thumbs up! :))
— Carol
Receptionists are lovely and friendly. I came in with recurrent lower back pain due to an old injury & pregnancy. Received dry needling treatment and I haven’t had a bad back day since. It was miraculous. Having spent hundreds on chiropractors & pilates - this worked after only 3 sessions. They really take the time to consider all your symptoms. Would always return here if ever required in future. Knowledgeable & trustworthy staff.
— Deborah Hobbs
Niall’s knowledge is second to none! Really thought my knee/hip injury after running my first 10k was unfixable but with deep tissue massage, dry needling techniques, exercises tips and advice I’m on the road to recovery. Can’t fault the service, great appointment times and reception team so friendly. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks guys
— Julie Paterson
I’ve had lower back trouble since I was 15. I’ve tried basic Physio and massage for years (I’m now 37) but it was only ever short term relief from the pain and stiffness. After one 30 minute IMS session with Niall my back instantly felt more supple and loose and the stiffness had gone. I’m writing this 4 hours after and I can’t believe how well it’s worked. I’ve booked in for another session next week. I can’t believe what a difference one session has made after all these years of trying other therapies. Thanks for your amazing work!
— Mark Travers
A very friendly and professional service. A few sessions definitely seems to have eased a long standing knee injury and allowed me to return to exercising without the usual pain. Just need to make sure I do my exercises! I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking further help or advice for physiotherapy.
— Andrew Johnstone
After 6 years of pain in my lower back and seeing a number of people who tried (and failed) to help, Niall has totally listened and worked away, after a few sessions I was feeling better and after a few more I am 95% there! Very good and i can’t recommend more highly.
— Digby The Duck
Really impressive results after a couple of appointments. Friendly service.
— Dawn Oneil
Being one of the first to visit Niall in his Portobello practice after being unable to bowl for 9 months after an injury to my back, I was back bowling shortly after and even months later I am still pain free. I have recommended him to others and all have had great results! Give him a try you won’t be disappointed.
— John Fowler
I saw Niall for a few sessions around neck pain and he was great - I’ve had recurring issues for years, and his was by far the most effective treatment I’ve received and left me pain free. Excellent service.
— Fiona A
I had IMS to a long standing back problem and it was sorted beautifully- professional, responsive, I can definitely recommend !
— Joseph Tay
Fantastic service from Niall and all the staff, very friendly. He helped to relieve my symptoms and pain from plantar fasciitis and trigger finger with needle release, massage and advice on stretching exercises. Highly recommend.
— Hannah Bonthron
Was having problems with my back and in turn this was affecting my rugby. I went in, booked an appointment and after I had my treatment, my problems were solved!
— Cameron Johnstone
Fantastic experience at The Physiotherapy Place. Booked easily online and saw Quinton the next day. I am recovering from vascular surgery in my leg and while this had healed, I was left with almost unbearable muscular pain in my calf. Quinton was fantastic, had a great consultation on Monday, he worked on my leg and used ultrasound therapy and gave me stretches and exercises to do at home. I saw him again on Wednesday and my condition was vastly improved. The pain is almost gone and while I still have a way to go to regain full mobility, I now feel optimistic that I’ll walk properly again soon. I can’t thank or recommend Quinton enough, I feel like he’s worked miracles. If you’re thinking about booking here - definitely do it, you won’t regret it!
— Susan Lowes
After suffering pain from plantar fasciitis for several weeks and a visit to my GP with no joy, I decided to visit The Physiotherapy Place and after my second visit I could have skipped out!! Excellent team - can’t thank them enough - especially Quentin
— Rosanna Finlay
The practice is spotlessly clean and welcoming. Treatments I have had have always been on time and effective. I have been impressed and have recommended the practice to friends without hesitation.
— Bernard Heavie
When I was diagnosed with “Golfer’s Elbow” (is there such a thing?) Quinton helped me get through it and provided me with a range of strengthening techniques and now my elbow is as strong as it has ever been.
— Paul Dounis
I highly recommend The Physiotherapy Place to anyone. I am a returning customer and on each occasion, Niall has sorted out my issues. The Physiotherapy Place is very welcoming and all staff are very friendly. Be sure to book an appointment at The Physiotherapy Place as you certainly won’t be disappointed.
— KSN 1985
I went to visit Quentin after my GP suggested I get Physio. I was recommend by a friend to go to The Physiotherapy Place. Quentin was great and helped me enormously.
— Janice Ferguson
Superb service with brilliant Physiotherapists.
— David Allott
Excellent treatment and advice from Niall for a rotator cuff injury. Physiotherapy right in the heart of Portobello - highly recommended!
— Carol Stewart
I attended The Physiotherapy Place with some pretty severe leg pain caused by a running injury. Niall got straight to the root of the problem and with a course of IMS, massage and stretching, got me back on the road in a few sessions. The team are very friendly and efficient. They dealt with my private health care provider making it a very simple and straightforward process. Would not hesitate to recommend or return when/if needed.
— Dianne Gibson
Big thank you to Niall. I had two appointments so far and my acute as well as long term problems got significantly better. Also my blood pressure has dropped suddenly after a few years which I believe is connected to this treatment too. Highly recommended. Thank you.
— Marie Mamulova
My 15 year old son was complaining of back pain after playing football. He had 4 sessions with Quinton at The Physiotherapy Place in Portobello which included dry needle and a program of stretches/exercises to complete. Thankfully my son is pain free and back playing with no restrictions. I would highly recommend Quinton based on his expertise and knowledge of assessing/treating sport type injuries.
— Roddy McFarlane
Warm and inviting Physio staff and a very relaxed feeling. My Physio, Niall, listened to my problem with my neck and also my concerns and he quickly assured me that he could help my recovery and explained exactly what type of treatment I would be receiving. After every session I have felt better than the week before. I would highly recommend Physiotherapy Place for anyone who requires a Physio.
— Ross McDonald
Niall has recently treated my long-standing neck and shoulder problems. After a few sessions using IMS, my almost daily headaches and neck tension, have improved beyond measure. In fact, I haven’t had a headache now for over two months. Niall is friendly and professional, and always explains exactly what he is doing and why. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others. Being able to book appointments online is a real plus.
— Janie Corley
Simply the best. I’ve tried many forms of massage therapy over the last 15 years, for stiff shoulders and neck (the usual computer-use-related things). Niall’s Physio work, plus the magic of Gunn IMS, has been a revelation. More effective and longer-lasting than anything else I’ve tried. I’ll be a regular here (but not too often, of course!)
— Simon King
The Physiotherapy Place is great. Niall and all the staff are fantastic. Couldn’t recommend enough!
— Alice Murphy
I had a recurring shoulder problem. The guys at the Physiotherapy Place were great. They professionally identified the problem, performed treatment and gave me advice and exercises to prevent the issue recurring. Highly recommended!
— Tom Moore
Really great and friendly service.
— Shannon Raleigh
I attended after a car accident and my GP had dismissed Physio. Niall really did help. Not only did he listen and carefully take notes, he assessed my symptoms well and the treatment was effective. Will definitely go back if I have any other issues.
— Kate Sang
All good. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable.
— Cat Stewart
Super place. The staff here are great and put you at ease. I’ve been having problems with my hip and after a course of treatment with Niall I am pain free and have a full range of movement. Highly recommended.
— Gillian Moss
I attended The Physiotherapy Place to seek help about a hamstring injury. Quinton was extremely helpful and professional and was able to explain the details of my injury as well as give me recovery time frames. He also gave me a deep tissue massage which relieved the pain. He then gave me a series of exercises and advice in order to re-strengthen the muscle and help me recover. I’m now back to full fitness and training, pain free!
— Kate Johnstone
Saw Quinton. Very professional. Would highly recommend him. Helped me get back to my Zumba. Very reasonably priced.
— Yvonne Wight
Niall used the IMS technique for my lower back pain and I could not believe the difference it has made. Would highly recommend to anyone who has sports/ postural problems.
— Andrew McGregor
Tennis elbow has been a recurring issue for me. Niall took an extensive history before considering the best method of treatment. I had tried other Physios but I believe his use of IMS was what made the difference. Hope I never have to go back… but if I need Physio, it’s the only place I’ll go.
— Stephen Reynolds
Niall was excellent, & front office staff are friendly & helpful. Thank you! A great service to have on our doorstep.
— Patsy James
The two times I’ve needed Physio, the Physio Place has been perfect. Easy to book and simple clear instructions on how to support myself during sessions.
— Coaching Direct
Fantastic experience. I could hardly walk due to knee pain and made an appointment with Niall. I was concerned my knee would ruin my holiday but after a couple of appointments, I was able to go on holiday without worrying. Would highly recommend this Physiotherapy place. 😀
— Jill Wilson
Very friendly and supportive staff who put me at my ease.
— Gillian Christian
Had an issue with one of my knees and I was told what had happened to it and how to best protect it in the future. My knee feels as strong as my other knee now and would always recommend coming here for any issues.
— Emma Turnbull
Superb service. Wonderful Physios. My sore back is the best it’s been in a long time. If you need a Physiotherapist, I recommend here.
— Christine Walker
Have visited on a number of occasions now, both for Physio treatment and massage. Always a friendly service, and they always sort out my aches and pains. Happy to recommend. Thanks all.
— Calum Rogerson
After having knee replacement surgery and feeling the recovery progress was very slow, I came along for Physio. Quentin immediately put me at ease and talked through what he would be doing. Over the course of a few weeks, I am now at a place where I feel the operation was worth it. I would like to thank Quinton Caulfield for all his help and support.
— Joan Henderson
I saw Quinton at The Physio Place having put up with chronic pain for a few months. Brilliant results, such a relief and joy to be almost pain free.
— Simon Ray
Fantastic service. I was seen at short notice for a nerve/joint problem in my neck. Niall has a very professional manner and got right to the heart of the issue while explaining it in layman’s terms so I could understand what was going on. He then used a combination of manipulation and the dry needling technique to correct the issue. Within a few days, as he predicted, I was back to full fitness and pain free. Would thoroughly recommend!
— Pappa Dogg
I had an old problem with my knee. With excellent treatment and advice from Niall, my knee is back to normal.
— Rona Cornwall
I’ve been living in a fair bit of pain with my neck and shoulder for around two years. I have had a few sessions of dry needle acupuncture and can’t believe the improvement from a condition I thought was for life. Professional and kind care, I cant recommend enough.
— Leanne Rockingham
Niall listened carefully and sympathetically to my issues. After manipulation and some other treatments in his surgery, I was given a few exercises to do at home which strengthened, supported and improved my knees and shoulders. Life is so much easier now!
— Critical Critter
I simply loved going to Niall’s sessions. They helped a lot with my pinched nerve problem. Niall’s got a wonderful way of making you feel relaxed. The needle treatment made a huge difference to my shoulder and elbow pain. Also, making the appointments was easy and you get an email reminder. I thoroughly recommend The Physiotherapy Place.
— Maria Fernandez
I went to the Physiotherapy Place with a bad back. Was treated by Niall over a couple of sessions and managed to get me sorted out. Thanks Niall
— John Rose
Niall was brilliant when I went into the clinic in agony with a frozen shoulder. He somehow squeezed me in despite being so busy, and his treatment was amazing. I was totally better the following day. Following his advice, I haven’t had another episode since. When my partner injured his shoulder I sent him in and he is currently seeing Niall’s colleague regularly with a complex injury which we hope can be stabilised. Both are extremely knowledgeable and I often recommend them.
— Jasmine Fyve
Could not recommend this place highly enough. Went to see Niall with chronic shoulder pain that turned out to be slipped disc. Before and during this ordeal I saw sports massage therapist, an osteopath, a GP, a neurosurgeon and Niall. Niall was a life saver. Unlike the GP he quickly diagnosed me, quietly and confidently suggested a treatment regime and he was so gentle and sympathetic. I was confident I was in good hands. Everything was smooth from booking to liaising with private healthcare and other medical professionals. It was made so easy at a very difficult time for me as I was off work for weeks. I’ve heard so many stories of people loyal to their chiropractor/osteopath yet they’re still in pain. Makes no sense. He focussed on the root cause and as soon as I was fixed (and I’m totally 100pc fixed) he sent me on my merry way, when he could easily have encouraged me to continue to see him regularly so he could have a nice income stream. But no, he knew I was fine and wanted to focus on fixing the next person. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without him. Quinton dealt with me when Niall was on holiday and I thought he was excellent too.
— Valerie Rogerson
Brilliant advice and treatment from the best Physios I’ve ever used. Their expertise got me to the start line (and finish line!) of the London Marathon - forever grateful. Top quality service, extremely professional and highly recommended.
— George Salmond
Great place - excellent, professional service and an excellent location. Would recommend.

I had my first appointment yesterday and for the first time in about 6 years had a pain free sleep. I can’t thank you enough. The clinic has a very clean professional friendly atmosphere. I will definitely recommend to family and friends. Looking forward to my follow up appointment next week. Thanks for fitting me in before your holiday.
— Karen Lacey
My husband had a total knee replacement and went to Quinton for Physiotherapy and the results were excellent. We can’t thank him enough and would highly recommend him!
— Liz Condie
Top Physio. Very knowledgeable and can’t do enough to help you recover.
— Andrew Driver
The Physiotherapy Place was recommended to me by a friend and after years of living with “toothache” in my shoulder I’m glad to say it’s finally easing. Being able to manage your appointments online is a definite plus. Thanks again to Quinton for his help.
— Michelle Hutchison
I went in to The Physiotherapy Place yesterday with a terrible migraine relapse. Niall did an assessment followed by IMS needle therapy with me and I honestly experienced immediate relief. It was amazing. I have suffered for years and sought lots of different therapies and have to say this is something quite different. I have to go back next week for another session but the release I felt immediately and continue to feel is a revelation. Highly recommended.
— Zoë Berry
I am the owner of a rare complicated collagen defect which makes my joints move around more than they should causing all kinds of pain, trauma, dislocations, rotator cuff, Thoracic spine pain, hips/ SI popping out etc. I could go on all day. My point is, out of all the specialists I have seen, Niall is the one who keeps me on my feet. Without him, my pain killer intake goes up and my life suffers. I literally need this man. Without him, I’m a walking, grumpy, pain filled mess with no hope. I could go to A&E and they would fill me full of morphine, not adjust me or fix the issue and send me on my way. Before I met Niall, the pain was getting so bad and was so badly managed, I had lost all hope in anyone being able to help me, never mind having weeks of being relatively pain free instead of crying in pain daily and dealing with the depression that it brought. He gave me my life back. I could actually get up and go to the gym without all the other emotion of being sad, sore and upset and dealing with the pain of joints not being in the correct place and the mental struggle that comes it with. He is AMAZING.... and 100% VITAL to my care. I couldn’t be without him. Covid-19 lockdown has made me realise more than ever before.
— Josslyn Ann Mcneill
At The Physiotherapy Place in Portobello it’s no fuss, no hassle, just results! I saw Niall with running related IT band issues. I was hobbling and with 2 weeks to go I thought I’d have to drop the Berlin Marathon. He’s done a great job in helping me out and one session later there was a marked improvement. I was able to run and complete my first marathon with no niggles, a testament to his work. Thank you from the bottom of my IT band. I couldn’t have done it without your professional care!
— Karen Borwick
Very friendly. Easy to use booking system. After taking a thorough history, Niall has been helping me with several long-standing issues and helping to reduce my chronic pain! The Gunn IMS technique has been great at releasing excess muscle tension and after just a couple of sessions I can see improvements. I would definitely recommend!
— Zoë Shaw
