He completed his studies at Touro College in New York, where he acquired his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) and a Bachelor’s in health science and was awarded the highest clinical achievement award.

Alex is currently married to Grace, and they have three beautiful daughters together. Alex is an avid soccer player, spending his weekends on the field. These activities serve as a great source of entertainment and firsthand knowledge of the injuries he treats every day in his practice.

I’m the head physical therapist!!

Glenn Forsyth, PT, DPT

Dr. Glenn Forsyth PT, DPT is the head physical therapist at Springfield Physical Therapy and Wellness. Glenn recognized his passion and fascination with human movement and performance growing up as a wrestler and avid gym-goer, while truly appreciating the specific protocols and programming it took to achieve desirable results. He utilized this personal interest in pushing the human body to different limits to steer his educational pursuits.

Glenn received his Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition and Food Sciences from New York University and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Rutgers School of Health Professions. Glenn gained experience directly out of school from treating a myriad of orthopedic conditions, including but not limited to post-operative, fractures, strains and sprains, chronic pain, and joint instability, in an outpatient setting prior to arriving at SPTW. He brings a holistic approach to each patient he treats, stemming from his multifaceted education and experience with nutrition, personal training, stress and lifestyle management, and of course orthopedic physical therapy. Glenn additionally believes that physical therapy continues well beyond relieving pain symptoms and should be used to bridge the gap for return to higher-level activities of daily living and/or specific sports performance. This may involve a transition from muscular re-education in foundational positions and lower-level corrective exercises to performing larger, compound exercises and higher level sport specific movements all within the same plan of care!

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Glenn is a teacher’s assistant for several first-year PT courses at his alma mater Rutgers, consults with club wrestling teams and injury risk management and strength/conditioning programming, and conducts personal training sessions for individual clientele. In his spare time, Glenn enjoys staying physically active and hiking with friends, visiting the shore all-year round with his wife, and constantly questioning his allegiance to the New York Football Giants.

Glenn is looking forward to continuing to grow and learn as a clinician at SPTW while helping as many patients as he can return to an optimal, pain-free life! He has recently celebrated being married and looks forward to growing his family.
