Project: physio

Every individual has differing needs and goals so their personal project and journey will be unique to them.

Project: Physio is a pioneering sports physiotherapy, sports massage, and advanced rehabilitation clinic, based in Edinburgh's West End

Project: Physio | Redesigning Health, Wellness, and Performance With a combined 25 years in private physiotherapy practice and experience ranging from Rugby World Cups to Commonwealth Games our team of Stephen Mutch and Kenny Watt bring a huge amount of knowledge, tools, and experience to project: physio. As each project progresses, our team understands and appreciates each step of the journey, adapts your treatment appropriately, and will match your clinical outcome to your goals. Our pioneering Edinburgh-based clinic is home to our sports physiotherapists and sports masseuse and our In-Clinic Consultations make use of the latest cutting edge technology

Using our Virtual Telehealth Consultation we can carry out a comprehensive assessment and review of your symptoms, and provide a tailored rehabilitation and education program that we can monitor remotely and adapt as necessary depending on your progress.

Supported athlete .routledge in clinic as she builds towards indoor competition

Making use of the strain Dynamometer to check on hip flexor strength. We can then use that data to set some push isometric targets. Kinvent software feedback then allows Allie to check she is hitting her force output on the iPad.

Strong hip flexors are a quiet superpower in sprinting. They drive the thigh forward at high speed, helping an athlete cycle the leg quickly and efficiently. When these muscles are powerful, the sprinter can lift and reposition the leg faster, which directly supports stride frequency — one of the biggest determinants of sprint speed.

They also contribute to maintaining an optimal upright posture during acceleration and top‑end speed, reducing energy leaks through excessive trunk movement. Well‑conditioned hip flexors improve knee lift, enhance force transfer during the swing phase, and help the athlete achieve longer, more effective strides without overstriding.

Testing removes guesswork. Our supported athletes see exactly where they excel and where they need to improve — whether that’s force production, rate of force development, asymmetries, or movement quality. This makes training feel purposeful rather than generic.

Over the winter break we’re always delighted to welcome home some of ’ brightest young talents returning from their US scholarships.

Our relationship with these athletes starts long before they head stateside, and continues throughout their time abroad via online performance and rehab sessions — sometimes at fairly brutal time zones. Maintaining that continuity means we can track their development year‑round rather than relying on snapshots.

Seeing them in person twice a year is invaluable. It allows us to update their testing profiles, review injury status, and ensure their programming aligns with the demands of their NCAA environment. Objective data forms the backbone of that process — giving us clear trends, identifying asymmetries, and guiding decision‑making rather than guessing.

This week, Wake Forest’s came in for updated hamstring force testing using the Kinvent strain dynamometer, giving us precise metrics on strength, fatigue, and limb balance.

We then moved to the KBox and K‑Meter to capture concentric and eccentric power outputs, ensuring his force‑velocity profile continues to progress in line with his on‑track goals.

To round things off, we programmed kinetic‑chain work — in this case calf strength — supervised on the Smith Machine to reinforce robustness through the entire posterior chain.

Supporting these athletes on both sides of the Atlantic, with consistent data and a clear development pathway, is something we take real pride in. Their environments may change, but their performance framework doesn’t.

Drew’s expertise in female athlete development aligns seamlessly with the ethos behind your Project: Strength sessions. His deep understanding of the physiological considerations unique to female athletes allows him to tailor strength work that genuinely respects the athlete’s body while pushing performance forward.

Within Project: Strength, he brings a sharp eye for movement quality, load progression, and programming, ensuring each session builds resilience, power, and confidence in a way that feels both challenging and safe.

What elevates his contribution is his ability to translate complex science into clear, empowering coaching cues—helping athletes understand why they’re doing what they’re doing and how it supports long‑term performance and health. The result is a strength program that isn’t just well‑designed; it’s athlete‑centred, evidence‑driven, and perfectly aligned with your wider mission at Project: Physio to raise the standard of care for every athlete who walks through the door.

PROJECT: STRENGTH — with

Take your athletic performance to a new level in 2026 with dedicated strength sessions led by Drew, our S&C specialist from Scottish Rugby. These sessions are built around objective testing, smart programming, and the kind of coaching detail that genuinely moves the needle.

Whether you’re chasing power, resilience, or long‑term athletic development, this is where the foundations get built. Stronger athletes aren’t born — they’re trained, measured, and supported.

🟢 Individualised strength plans
🟢 Objective data to track progress
🟢 Expert coaching that meets you where you are
🟢 Performance that carries over to your sport

If you’re ready to train with intent and see what structured strength work can really do, Drew’s sessions are an essential part of an athletes pathway at Project: Physio.

Let’s build something stronger.

Let us start with a HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE PATIENTS WHO ATTENDED THE CLNIC THIS YEAR

2025 was a year defined by remarkable growth and unwavering demand. Every single week of the year sold out, with waiting lists at times stretching up to four weeks—an incredible reflection of the trust placed in our clinic.

Our specialist services in sports massage, strength and conditioning, and physical performance testing continued to expand and evolve, delivering measurable improvements in recovery, resilience, and performance for sportspeople of all ages and levels.

This year also saw us welcome even more teams and athletes into our support programmes, and we are deeply grateful for the confidence they continue to place in our expertise and our mission to elevate performance through evidence‑based, athlete‑centred care.

Christmas get togethers are always made best by bringing good friends together, reflecting on the past and planning for the future.

We consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have the support of some great people and incredible practioners.

Friendships shape who we become. They challenge us, steady us, and remind us of our strengths when we forget them ourselves. The support we give and receive through these relationships isn’t just a personal comfort—it’s a foundation that strengthens us professionally too.

When we’re surrounded by people who believe in us, encourage us, and walk alongside us, we grow with more confidence, resilience, and purpose. No one succeeds alone, and the connections we nurture become the quiet force that helps us thrive in every part of life.

Making use of the roller for some eccentric hamstring loading for and platform runner before he heads off for training camp.

Using a roller for eccentric slides or Nordic-style variations increases the fascicle length of the biceps femoris. This shift in the length-tension relationship is critical for preventing strains during high-velocity downhill running or late-swing phase sprinting.

Edinburgh based rower Jack in the clinic working on back squat mechanics and loading

Dual Force plates allowing for insight into the percentage of weight distributed to each leg throughout the entire rep.

The Force plates track where the weight is distributed on the foot (heel vs. midfoot vs. toes). Using the Smith Machine, it provides a great deal of trunk stability so we monitor that if the CoP moves forward and backward, it may indicate a restricted range of motion, so causing a shift.

We can also look at his force at zero velocity: This is the force recorded at the exact moment he stops moving down and starts moving up. It is a key indicator of isometric strength in the bottom part of his squat, a key position for rowing lower limb strength.
