About us
Glossop Physio Was Founded On A Personal Journey
After suffering a serious knee injury as a teenager, John met a physiotherapist who transformed both the recovery—and the future. That experience inspired a passion for physiotherapy and ultimately lead to creating a clinic that delivers the standard of care everyone deserves.
Today, we combine expert physiotherapists with our investment in assessment technology, to clearly diagnose what’s going on and create treatment plans that truly work.
