Our Story

The Foot Lab was founded to bring modern, high-quality, medically-led podiatry to Glossop and the wider High Peak area. Our lead podiatrist and clinic owner, Gemma Hodgson, graduated with a First-Class BSc (Hons) Podiatry from The University of Salford, and has extensive experience across both NHS and private practice.

Her vision was clear:
To create a clinic where every patient receives gold-standard care, where technology enhances treatment, and where people feel genuinely heard, supported, and looked after.

Today, The Foot Lab Glossop is known not only for outstanding foot care, but also for being a warm, welcoming clinic trusted by families, older adults, active individuals, and elite athletes alike.
