Got muscle, joint or back pain? You may not need to see a GP first.

Our First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) offers expert assessment, diagnosis and advice for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Back pain and sciatica
  • Neck, shoulder, hip and knee pain
  • Joint stiffness and arthritis
  • Muscle and tendon injuries
  • Sports injuries
  • Mobility concerns

Practice clinics are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, but access to the service doesn’t stop there.

Patients can also access telephone or video consultations Monday to Friday, with additional face-to-face appointments available at Birbeck Medical Group and The Lakes Medical Practice when appropriate.

To access the service, submit an online triage request, contact the practice, or discuss your symptoms with a healthcare professional.
