First Contact Physio appointments can be booked via our Reception Team.

You can see a specialist Physiotherapist.  Booking an initial telephone consultation with First Contact Physio gives you faster access to expert diagnosis along with advice and exercises you need to start tackling the problem. They can also refer you on to hospital services where necessary, order tests and recommend a GP to prescribe pain relief etc.

First Contact Physio will:

• Assess you and diagnose what’s happening
• Give expert advice on how best to manage your condition
• Refer you on to specialist services if necessary
