Is Thrive suitable if I have a long-term condition?

Yes. Thrive is designed for people who want support building strength, confidence, and consistency after injury, pain, or a long-term condition. We tailor the programme to your starting point and make sure the class feels safe, manageable, and progressive.

Do I need a GP referral to join?

No. You do not need a GP referral to join Thrive. We begin with a free physiotherapy assessment so we can understand your needs, goals, and any limitations before advising whether the class is the right fit for you.

What happens at the free physiotherapy assessment?

Your free physiotherapy assessment helps us understand your injury history, current symptoms, movement, and goals. We’ll talk through whether Thrive is appropriate for you and explain the best next step, whether that is joining the class or starting with individual treatment first.

What if I feel nervous about joining a group?

That’s completely normal. Many people feel unsure before starting a rehab class, especially if they have been in pain or out of exercise for a while. Thrive is designed to be supportive, welcoming, and beginner-friendly, with coaching that helps you feel confident from the start.

How much does Thrive cost?

Thrive costs £70 per month, which includes one supervised rehabilitation class per week. The programme is designed to give you consistent support, structure, and progression in a small-group setting led by a physiotherapist. We also reserve 10% of our spaces as free places for people who would benefit from the class but are unable to afford the monthly fee, helping ensure the programme is accessible to those who need it most.

There is no long-term contract for Thrive. You’re free to cancel at any time, but we ask for 30 days’ notice so we can manage class spaces and offer them to people on the waiting list.

Where are Thrive classes held?

Thrive classes are held at Health by Science Physiotherapy, 100 Giles Street, Leith, Edinburgh, EH6 6BZ. Our clinic is easy to reach from Leith, Edinburgh city centre, Stockbridge, Portobello, and surrounding areas.

Can I join after finishing physiotherapy?

Yes. Thrive can be a great next step after physiotherapy if you want ongoing support to keep building strength, confidence, and resilience. It helps bridge the gap between treatment and long-term exercise so you can keep progressing.
