Sophie Richardson's Academic Background — Podiatrist & Massage Therapist | Glasgow

Sophie holds a BSc in Podiatry and a Master’s in Public Health, giving her a strong foundation in both the science of movement and the importance of overall wellbeing. She’s also currently studying for a BSc in Sports Rehabilitation, further expanding her expertise in treating and preventing injuries.

“I’ve always been drawn to helping people. Growing up around fighters and weightlifters, I saw first-hand how injuries can impact lives - and I wanted to be part of the solution.”

Sophie’s journey into becoming a podiatrist and massage therapist came from a love of movement and a fascination with how the body adapts, heals, and performs. She believes that foot health is often overlooked, yet it plays a crucial role in everything from balance and posture to performance and injury prevention.

Her Approach: Root Cause, Not Quick Fix

When you see Sophie for a sports massage or podiatry session in Glasgow, you’re getting more than just treatment - you’re getting a tailored, problem-solving approach designed around you.

“There’s never a dull moment. Every client, every foot, every injury is different - and that’s what keeps it exciting.”

Sophie believes in identifying the root cause of pain or dysfunction rather than simply managing symptoms. Each session is tailored to the individual, combining hands-on treatment with practical advice and movement strategies to help you recover and stay injury-free.

Whether you’re dealing with a persistent foot issue, a sports injury, or general fatigue from training, Sophie’s integrated approach bridges the gap between podiatry, rehabilitation, and performance.

Fire Round: Outside the Clinic

Q: When you’re not in the clinic, where can we usually find you? A: Lifting in the gym or curled up on the couch with my dogs.

Q: What are your favourite gym exercises? A: Lateral raises and Romanian deadlifts.

Q: If you could only eat one meal forever, what would it be? A: Enchiladas with extra cheese - no regrets.
