Shirley Steele, Senior Physiotherapist

A state of being is when your mind and body are working together

Just as thoughts are the language of the brain, feelings are the language of the body. And how you think and how you feel create a state of being. A state of being is when your mind and body are working together. So your present state of being is your genuine mind-body connection

Senior Physiotherapist, Neurological Specialist (MCSP, HCPC)

Shirley Steele is a leader in advanced physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation and holistic healing. With decades of experience, Shirley is deeply respected by patients, peers, and medical professionals alike. Her expertise extends well beyond Barnsley, as she brings advanced care to those recovering from stroke, MS, and upper-limb injuries, offering solutions rooted in empathy, and science.

Graduating from the Newcastle School of Physiotherapy, Shirley built her foundation with an undergraduate degree in Zoology from the University of Sheffield, and subsequently deepened her expertise in neurology and craniosacral therapy. Her work has spanned both public and private healthcare in the UK, and her approach integrates myofascial release and yoga methodology when appropriate — all to empower patients facing complex neurological challenges.

Shirley’s practice is guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy: healing happens when the mind and body are aligned. She believes that mental strength, emotional wellbeing, and physical treatment work in tandem — a “state of being” where true recovery can begin. Patients trust her not only for her technical skill, but for her compassion, patience, and dedication to helping them regain autonomy and confidence.

Outside the clinic, Shirley lives her philosophy. She loves yoga and recently completed the British Wheel of Yoga course. She meditates regularly, grows her own garden, and finds joy in nature’s rhythms. For Shirley, every day is an opportunity to practice kindness, strength, and the connection between body and spirit — as healer, mentor, gardener, and guide.

Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the Health and Care Professions Council.
