Senior Physiotherapist, Musculoskeletal Specialist (MCSP, HCPC) and Medical Ozone Practitioner

Craig Hartley is a powerhouse in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and medical ozone therapy — a scientist at heart and a pioneer in advanced physiotherapy. Having trained in the same methods as Peter, Craig is recognised for his ability to unite physiotherapy with ozone regenerative medicine. Over his career he has treated everyone from professional footballers to everyday patients, building a reputation that stretches well beyond Barnsley and attracting those who seek his holistic, scientific approach to recovery and long-term health.

Before qualifying as a physiotherapist, Craig graduated with a degree in Environmental Science and worked in wildlife conservation, managing habitats and studying ecosystems. A scientist at heart, he developed a deep respect for the way nature repairs and restores itself when given the right conditions — a philosophy he now brings to physiotherapy and regenerative medicine. His passion for the natural world also lives on through his skills as a wildlife photographer, capturing moments of beauty and resilience that echo his approach to healing.

After graduating in physiotherapy and completing his NHS placements, he began his clinical career in a private clinic. He works with professional football and rugby league clubs including Rotherham United, Wakefield Trinity Wildcats and Castleford Panthers. His work with professional athletes has shaped the same precision and dedication he brings to every patient at Physio Barnsley, helping them overcome injury and return to peak performance, or daily life.
