Physiotherapy Self Referral
First Contact Physiotherapy
Seeing a Physiotherapist first instead of your GP could be right for you
Do you have a muscle, back or joint problem?
Call your GP Practice Reception
You will be asked if you would be happy to be seen by a First Contact Physiotherapist
If yes: Book the first available appointment with the Physiotherapist - This may not be in your own practice
If no: Book an appointment with a healthcare professional within the practice.
The Physiotherapist can:
- Assess You and diagnose what’s happening
- Give expert advice on how best to manage your condition
- Refer you on for further treatment, investigations or to specialist services if required
