  • DO YOU DO MASSAGE, ACUPUNCTURE OR ANY KIND OF PASSIVE THERAPY?"
    No, Fortis is an evidence based Rehabilitation and Sports Rehabilitation clinic. Our goal is to get to the heart of your pain and solve the issue once and for all with a mostly exercise, education and lifestyle change based focus. Many of these passive treatments have a poor evidence base and many of the benefits are hugely overstated. These sorts of passive treatments do provide short term pain relief benefits however they do not have long term effects. The Fortis philosophy is to make itself irrelevant as quickly as possible, and to get you pain free long-term and to stop the pain from coming back. Our goal is not to sell you one size fits passive treatments with temporary effects that you need to keep booking in for to sustain. We are here to fix your issue, not sell you quick fixes with temporary results.
  • DO YOU SEE NON-SPORTING INJURIES?
    Yes, absolutely. Our Physiotherapists all trained within the NHS initially and are very experienced with non-sporting populations. A regular physiotherapy assessment is at the core of all assessments, we do not need to do the sport-specific gym based stuff if it does not fit in with your goals. All in-person assessments will still take place within a gym-based clinic and will follow an active exercise based/lifestyle change rehabilitation approach with all clients.
  • CAN MY INSURANCE PAY?
    It depends on your policy. We can send you an invoice on request and some Insurance Providers will accept this and allow you to claim the money back from them. However, we have not signed up with any Insurance Company to accept their referrals so cannot take any insurance policy numbers as payment.
  • WHERE WILL MY ONLINE APPOINTMENT BE?
    Your appointment will take place via Video Call through WhatsApp.
  • WHERE WILL MY IN-PERSON APPOINTMENT BE?
    In-person physiotherapy or coaching sessions will take place at 'Gym Based Athlete' located at 70 Jane St, Edinburgh EH6 5HD. Inside we have access to a private treatment room for physiotherapy consultations and a full performance gym for Sports Physiotherapy and Coaching appointments.
