We built Function First because we wanted to offer people more than what the traditional physiotherapy model can offer.
Quick sessions, passive treatment, generic exercises – they're designed for clinics, not clients.
Our approach puts your complete recovery first, investing the time and expertise needed to create lasting change.
We don't treat people – we work WITH people. By understanding your complete movement patterns, lifestyle demands, and individual goals, we create rehabilitation that fits your life.
Our clients consistently return to active living or sport stronger because we address and integrate the whole system, not just the symptom.
The Result? A unique, up-to-date approach to body, movement, injury and performance that delivers real, lasting results.

We explain our findings in plain language. No confusing jargon—just a clear understanding of what’s happening, why, and how we'll fix it.
