about me

Anna Stein-Tsipenyuk, DPT, CSCS, SFG I & II, SFMA-1, 

I am a graduate of Temple University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program.  I earned my degree and board certification in 2010.  I have experienced a variety of settings throughout my career.  These include long term acute care, rehabilitation, acute care, outpatient orthopedic, and home care. 

In my years of practice, I have found that the insurance based system was not built to provide the highest quality of service.  Thus, leaving a lot to be desired for both therapist and patient.  As a result, I created Function First Inc. with the  goal of providing a service to my community.  Specifically, a service that is quality and client driven. 

Since creating Function First Inc., I have continued to expand my professional scope of knowledge by earning additional certifications.  These include Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), Level 1 kettlebell instructor (SFG1), and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA).  

Finally, I am committed to providing the best care to my clients through continued education, professional development, and always practicing what I preach!  You will find me actively training and swinging kettlebells on a regular basis!
