Work with us at Health by Science

We’re building a clinic where physiotherapy, strength training, and rehabilitation aren’t separate worlds — they’re part of the same system.

Learn inside a real clinical environment

We regularly host students and early-career professionals within our Thrive Classes — our physiotherapy-led group rehabilitation sessions in Edinburgh.

Volunteers observe, assist, and learn how we bridge rehabilitation and strength training in a real-world setting.

This isn’t shadowing from the sidelines. It’s applied learning.

Monthly clinical CPD (open to external students and healthcare pros)

Every month, our team meets for structured CPD.

We regularly open these sessions to external clinicians, trainers and healthcare professionals who want to sharpen their clinical reasoning and bridge the gap between rehab and performance.

Topics range from movement assessment to strength programming, behaviour change, and case study reviews.

A Team You Can Rely On

I’ve used Ross for online PT and nutrition, Alex for physiotherapy, and Lizby for massage. The whole team is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and informative. It’s worth every penny to invest in your health and maintain your quality of life.

Professional and Friendly

I honestly cannot fault Health by Science. I’ve had physio and personal training here and both have been excellent — highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend them especially for women looking to build more strength training into their routines.
