About us
We help you take care of your body
now for your future.
Many people get told aches and pain are just a part of getting older. But the world has changed and now people are more focused on their health. Rather than retire and just rest. People want an active retirement where they can do the activities they love. And our goal, training and focus at Glossop Physio is to get you back to doing the things you love and living the life you deserve.
Most people in pain don't know how to optimise their recovery. So we'll get to know you and create a unique recovery plan that fits in with your life.
We help people in their 40’s and 50’s stay fit and doing the training they love, and not needing time off work with their neck or back. We help people in their 60’s and 70’s keep their joints healthy and active, so they can maintain their fitness and mobility and increase their health span.
