Founder & Principal Physiotherapist

Dr Gisèle Penzhorn, neurological physiotherapist and founder of Function First Physio

I’m Dr Gisèle Penzhorn, founder of Function First Physio. My passion is helping people living with neurological conditions build confidence, independence and the freedom to participate in the activities that matter most to them.

With a background in classical ballet, exercise science and physiotherapy, I have a lifelong fascination with human movement and a particular passion for complex neurological rehabilitation.

My approach combines clinical expertise with time to listen, understand and educate. I believe rehabilitation works best when patients, families and healthcare professionals work together towards goals that are meaningful to the individual.
