Role of the service
Our First Contact Physios can help you with any musculoskeletal issue you have, such as a bad back or neck or joint pain.
To begin, you will have an initial consultation which will be an in-depth discussion about your injury or condition. At the end of this consultation, a plan will be put in place to support you, this normally includes exercise programmes, advice and education, where appropriate.
The physio may make ongoing referrals to services that will be helpful to you and where needed, a face-to-face physiotherapy assessment appointment will be made.
