About

Gavin Routledge is Clinic Director and Registered Osteopath at Active X Clinics in Edinburgh. He graduated as an osteopath in 1991 as the Gold Medalist. After a brief stint in New Zealand, he returned to Scotland to become the sixth osteopath in Edinburgh and has since guided the business through various names – Edinburgh Osteopaths, The Edinburgh Clinic, Active X Osteopaths, and, for the last 10 years, Active X Clinics. Gavin has written two books on lower back pain, with a third currently in progress. He has a Masters Degree in The Clinical Management of Pain and is also a Lifestyle Medicine Professional and Health Coach.
