About Us
Change The Way You Move
Welcome to Function First Physiotherapy — Barnsley’s leading clinic for pain relief, rehabilitation, and performance. We provide expert physiotherapy, sports massage, strength and mobility training, and online consultations, all delivered with a personalised approach.
Our Chartered Physiotherapists treat everything from back pain and sports injuries to arthritis and long-term health conditions. Using a mix of hands-on therapy, progressive exercise, and education, we focus on restoring movement and building resilience rather than masking symptoms.
Our mission is simple: Change the Way You Move. By combining physiotherapy with strength training, mobility work, and practical education, we help people of all ages — from office workers to athletes — not just recover, but move better for life.

What Makes Us Different
Top-Rated Physiotherapy
At Function First, recovery doesn’t end when pain fades — it’s where lasting progress begins. Unlike clinics that provide short-term relief, we focus on long-term outcomes and confidence in movement.
Our approach combines expert physiotherapy with progressive rehab in a dedicated gym environment, closing the gap between treatment and real-world performance. Patients also benefit from structured exercise plans with video demos, regular progress reviews, and direct access to advice outside of appointments. With an education-first ethos, we give you the skills and confidence to stay active, strong, and injury-free.
Function First is proud to be Barnsley’s most trusted and top-rated physiotherapy clinic — delivering care, facilities, and support you won’t find anywhere else.
