★★★★★★★★★★Kieran DarlingtonApr 2026

Been doing physio with Isla for back issues and she has been great. I've been given comprehensive workout plans for the gym as well as supplementary exercises to be doing at home. She's been very good at tailoring exercises to my current level and to my needs so I don't doubt that I'll be at a point that I am happy with very soon! Highly recommend!

★★★★★★★★★★Jay CowanFeb 2026

Excellent service as always! I've been into see Scott about a running injury who was very knowledgable. He set out a rehab plan and explained in detail the reasoning behind it, kept me running at a reduced rate and mapped out a return to normal running plan! Great service and will definitely be back. I've also seen others at GCP over the years and have always had great service.

★★★★★★★★★★Jack HaughtonFeb 2026

Very good experience overall. I had Scott as my physio and he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He took the time to properly understand my injury, explained everything clearly, and put together a rehab plan that actually works. I’ve seen real improvement since starting treatment and feel much more confident in my recovery. I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone needing physio.

★★★★★★★★★★Paul MacleanJan 2026

I have visited a number of times now. Scott has been fantastic at helping build up a training regime that not only addresses current injuries, but will help guard against future injury - really important for someone like me, in my 50s. He listens closely to what you want from the sessions and all ongoing feedback. I'm really happy and will keep coming back

★★★★★★★★★★Gavin HarvieJan 2026

A superb physiotherapist service. Knowledgeable, understanding and considerate to the client's needs. As a runner, I need someone who appreciates what I need either as a sports massage or when injured a good rehabilitation programme to get me back. Scott offers a full diagnosis and then advises on an exercise programme to support and complement a running schedule. Exercises are provided with video clips by email and an app which makes sure that you never forget your routine and that you are actually doing your rehab correctly. I've known and worked with Scott for many years now, and wouldn't want to work with any other physio!

★★★★★★★★★★Jack TempletonJan 2026

Glasgow city physiotherapist are the best you can get! Excellent service from a friendly group of people, I’ve had calf pain for several months now which effected my daily lifestyle.I went to many different places but saw no result. First time meeting Scott, a kind consoling person. He explained in detail what the problem was and how to fix it, I now experience no niggles whatsoever and visit Glasgow City Physiotherapy on a regular basis. Cannot recommend these guys enough, top facilities and a great group of people to work with!

★★★★★★★★★★Ayenoor ZubairJan 2026

Scott is a really nice and friendly physio and makes me feel comfortable throughout the whole session. He’s helped make me stronger with my s&c programme and explains everything clearly so I can understand why we’re adding certain exercises. He always checks how I’m getting on and adapts things if I’m struggling. I would recommend Scott and the rest of the physio team.

★★★★★★★★★★Connor HendersonJan 2026

Can’t recommend Glasgow City Physiotherapy enough. From start to finish the experience was brilliant, and Scott was fantastic throughout. Scott took the time to properly assess the issue, explain what was going on in a clear and reassuring way, and put together a treatment plan that actually made sense and delivered results. The sessions were focused, practical, and tailored to what I needed, with great advice on exercises and recovery in between appointments. You never feel rushed, and it’s obvious Scott genuinely cares about helping you get back to full strength, whether that’s for sport, training, or everyday life. Friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality physio.

★★★★★★★★★★ryan mullenNov 2025

I had a brilliant 60-minute sports massage at Glasgow Physiotherapy and can’t recommend them highly enough. As a runner and someone who runs a run club in Glasgow, I’ve had my fair share of treatments - and this was easily one of the best. I was treated by Rebecca, who was fantastic. She was professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand the issues I came in with. I left feeling looser, more mobile, and genuinely looked after. I’ll most definitely be recommending Glasgow Physiotherapy to my runners and will be returning for future massages. Excellent service all round!

★★★★★★★★★★AndrewOct 2025

I’ve been seeing Scott at Glasgow City Physiotherapy for my knee injury rehab, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and reassuring throughout the whole process. Scott takes the time to explain everything clearly and always makes sure I understand why we’re doing certain exercises, which has really helped me stay motivated and confident in my recovery. He’s always available for help and advice when I need it, and his encouragement has made a huge difference in keeping me on track. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve made great progress with my rehab, and definitely wouldn't be at the level I am without his expertise.
