About activex clinics


activex clinics came into being in 2000 with the re-branding of “Edinburgh Osteopaths”, which Gavin Routledge founded in 1993. We were expanding beyond Edinburgh and didn’t want our name to limit us geographically. We also wanted a name which reflected our commitment to relieving pain, and thereby helping people to return to full fitness; activex clinics was born.
